Since season 3 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Phaedra Parks has shared her life with the world. From messy fights with her co-stars to the ups and downs of parenting, her fans have seen it all.
But while followers of Parks might think they’re besties with the Bravo star, many were shocked with her latest post on Instagram. In it, Parks shared adorable pictures with her oldest son, 15-year-old Ayden Nida. In the pics, not only does he look all grown up, but he towers over his proud mom.
Phaedra Parks Showed Her Support at the ‘DWTS’ Tour
While followers of Parks were focused on Ayden looking all grown up, the post was to celebrate the “Dancing With the Stars” tour that Parks and Ayden recently paid a visit to recently.
As a reminder, Parks competed in season 33 of the show in 2024 alongside pro Valentin Chmerkovskiy. She was eliminated on Week 5.
“Oh what a night ✨ #DWTS pushed me in ways I never expected, definitely one of the most challenging journeys but the love and friendships I gained are unmatched ♥️,” Parks wrote alongside a gallery of pictures featuring herself, her son, and Chmerkovskiy.
“My son @ayden.nida was my biggest supporter every time he came to #LA, he left random sticky notes everywhere reminding me to keep dancing!” she remembered. “Finding those notes made me miss him and his brother even more 🥹.”
In addition to Ayden, Parks also shares youngest son Dylan Nida, 12, with her ex-husband, Apollo Nida.
“@Valentin thank you for being the absolute best partner,” Parks continued in the caption. “You & @jennajohnson are truly amazing! I can’t wait to see everyone again in July at #DancingwiththeStarscon in Palm Springs!”
