‘I See You Queen’: Phaedra Parks Stuns Fans With Closeup Beauty Shot

Phaedra Parks may not be making appearances on television screens week after week, but she’s still captivating fans with stunning pictures posted to Instagram.

Judging by a photo Parks recently posted, the 46-year-old mother of sons Dylan and Aiden from her former marriage to Apollo Nida hasn’t missed a step since losing her peach.

“I see nothing but beauty in this pic 🔥😍”

“Eye see beauty every time I see you queen 😘😘”

“You are an ageless beauty ✨✨”

The former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” castmate departed from the show after a major fallout between stars Kandi Burruss and Porsha Williams during season nine. Parks was deemed the source of a rumor that Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker allegedly had a sex dungeon and insinuated that the couple wanted to drug and take advantage of Williams.

Though her departure from Bravo TV was abrupt, it didn’t keep her down long. She soon made it back into the reality TV spotlight as a friend on “Braxton Family Values.”

The southern belle, who is a practicing attorney and licensed mortician, seems to attract money from all directions. She has even found a niche on social media by teaming up with Flat Tummy Tea and was signed as a model with Wilhelmina.

Although the Scorpio who celebrated her birthday Oct. 26 is all about her money and kids, don’t think she isn’t making time for love. She’s been dating actor Medina Islam for more than a year. Fans were happy to see Parks move on after separating from and divorcing Nida in 2017 following a jail sentence. Nida — who was sentenced to eight years behind bars for conspiring to commit mail, wire and bank fraud — was released from prison in July, and though he missed some of the milestones of his six- and nine-year-old sons while incarcerated, it seems he and Parks were able to figure things out just in time for the holidays.

Nida’s friend and former “RHOA” castmate Peter Thomas confirmed the father was able to spend time with his sons for Christmas.

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.
