‘I Ain’t Finna Sit Up Here and Lie’: ‘Married to Medicine’ Star Dr. Heavenly Serves Up a Shady Response When Asked About Phaedra Parks’ Alleged ‘Doctor Bae’

Dr. Heavenly Kimes wants all questions about Phaedra Parks’ mysterious “doctor bae” to be directed at the self-proclaimed southern belle only. 

The dentist recently sat down with Atlanta Black Star ahead of the premiere of the tenth season of “Married to Medicine” and dished on the new dynamic among the women now that Parks has joined the cast.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that the Atlanta attorney was returning to the Bravo network seven years after making her grand exit from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” 

During “RHOA’s” ninth season reunion, Parks was revealed as the culprit who started the damaging rumor suggesting that Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, were trying to drug and take advantage of her former cast mate Porsha Williams. Once Parks was pinpointed as the culprit who sparked the hearsay, she was fired from the popular series. 

Now, everyone’s favorite shady lawyer is back on Bravo TV screens and allegedly dating a doctor. While information surrounding Parks’ new man has remained closely held, she previously confirmed that he’s already met her two sons, 13-year-old Ayden Nida and 10-year-old Dylan Nida – whom she shares with ex-husband Apollo Nida. 

Though “Doctor Bae” reportedly has met those closest to Parks, Kimes had little to no words to share when we asked her about her co-star’s supposed romance. 

“Listen, ask her,” Kimes said. “Ask her about her Doctor Bae. We — you know.” 

When asked if she had met Parks’ boyfriend, Kimes added, “Chile, next question, please, ’cause I don’t, you know. Ask her about it. I ain’t finna sit up here and lie to y’all a—s. I’m not finna lie, OK.”

The first episode of “M2M’s” tenth season premiered on Sunday, Nov. 5, and in addition to Parks making her debut on the show, she also gushed over the mystery man while speaking to Kimes and Dr. Jackie Walters. 

“I have been dating a physician for over a year, and he’s from another country, so that makes it really interesting,” the 50-year-old confessed. 

According to Parks, “Doctor Bae” is a pediatric cardiologist from Nigeria who goes by the name of Dr. O and is “healing my heart.” Photos of Parks with Dr. O can be seen plastered on TV screens during her confessional. However, his face is covered while Parks noticeably smiles from ear to ear.

Although the Bravolebrity claimed that she and Dr. O had been dating for almost two years, it seems as if fate wasn’t in their favor, for they have since called it quits. While speaking with Bossip.com, Parks confirmed that she’s “single and satisfied.”

She also dished about the current status of her love life in another interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast. While there, Parks teased that “another doctor” had caught her attention.

“Yeah, there might be another doctor that’s looming in the picture as well,” she said. 

Fans can watch new episodes of “Married to Medicine” every Sunday at 9 pm EST.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
