‘Rocking Motherhood Per Usual’: Phaedra Parks’ Sunset Pic With Sons Leaves Fans in Awe

Former “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Phaedra Parks has firmly prioritized motherhood.

The Atlanta-based attorney recently soaked up the final days of summer before her young sons, 6-year-old Dylan Nida and 9-year-old Ayden Nida, head off to school this month.

“’Sunsets like childhood are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting’ ~Richard Paul Evans #quote we #love the #beach #momlife #vacation #sunset ⛅️,” Parks put in the caption of an Aug. 7 photo of her and her boys on the beach in an undisclosed location.

As fans soaked up the sun-drenched scenery behind Parks and her kids, they remarked about how great the star seems to be raising up her sons.

“Oh wow! This is seriously the most beautiful family photo I’ve seen on Instagram. Love it💕 #BLESSEDLIFE.”

“Rocking motherhood per usual 💯”

“Your boys always look happy, Phaedra you’re a proud Manma great very smart great job.”

“@phaedraparks mother and kids looking fabulous 🙌👏🙏🏾🙏🏾”

“I see so much love in this picture. Your boys are handsome and goodness they are growing up fast. Enjoy your vacation and family time.”

Parks has been keeping focus on her sons in the wake of their dad and her ex-husband Apollo Nida being released from prison for the second time late last month.

Nida was jailed at New Jersey’s Fort Dix Correctional Facility where he was sentenced to serve 96 months after being charged in 2014 for conspiring to commit mail, wire and bank fraud. He was released early after spending about four years behind bars.

Currently, the one-time Bravolebrity is residing in a halfway house in Philadelphia.

Nida was originally due home in time for Father’s Day in June, which his young sons were excited about. Parks told the Daily Mail that they had prepared trinkets to send him at the halfway house. But Dylan and Ayden were disappointed to learn Nida was back behind bars instead.

“There’s a box of Father’s Day cards, mugs, little plates and things that they’ve made that I was going to send him,” she said. “And so my youngest son was like, ‘So, daddy will be here for Father’s Day?’ And I had explained to him, no. He couldn’t come anyway because he was in the halfway house transition home. But you know, they can’t talk to him at all now because he’s back in prison.”

Parks also said she hopes Nida will stay on the straight and narrow, if only for his sons.

“I can’t make him be what he doesn’t want to be,” she said. “He has to want to change.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
