‘Mother of the Year’: Fans Applaud Phaedra Parks for Going All Out for Her Sons’ Birthday

Phaedra Parks recently made her sons’ birthday wishes come true. The former “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” reality star bought her two boys Ayden and Dylan Nida apparel from Childsplay, a clothing store known for its luxurious designer brands. Dylan, who turned 8 on Friday, May 8, and Ayden, who turns 11 on Monday, May 15, were ecstatic to receive their presents.

On Friday, May 8, Parks posted a video on Instagram that showed her children opening a brown box filled with clothes. At the beginning of the clip, the kids were seen playing with each other. “Yo.. stop and open yo package,” Parks told her children. Dylan and Ayden proceeded to rip open the box. Ayden excitedly yelled, “Hey, we got it!” Dylan responded, “Childsplay clothing…yeah,” before jumping up and down and dancing. “You are too silly,” Parks said to Dylan. Dylan shouted, “Yeah!” Someone in the background asked, “What is it?” Dylan replied, “Clothing…yeah…yeah..”

The Southern belle has showcased her close-knit relationship with her boys from season 3 to season 9 on the “RHOA.” Apollo Nida, Parks’ ex-husband, is the father to Ayden and Dylan. Parks and Nida met in 1995 and had an on-again, off-again relationship before tying the knot in 2009.

Nida served a six-year prison sentence in the early 2000s for a racketeering charge that was related to a car theft scheme. He went back to prison in 2014 for fraud and identity theft, causing Parks to file for divorce the same year. Parks, the owner of her own law firm, was let go from “RHOA” in 2017 after spreading a nasty rumor about her co-star Kandi Burruss to Porsha Williams. Fans however, are continuing to advocate for her to return to the franchise.
