The subject of Phaedra Parks allegedly keeping her kids from her sorta-kinda ex-husband Apollo Nida is a contentious one. I say sorta-kinda ex-husband because although the pair’s divorce was finalized last July, a judge reversed the judgement this past March. As Us Weekly explained:
At the time of the judgment’s reversal, TMZ cited a judge’s concerns that Parks had misspelled Nida’s last name, that Nida had been unable to attend divorce hearings he was led to believe he could attend, that he had not been informed of the final hearing and also had not been served with finalized divorce papers.
On top of these allegations, as you know, Apollo has also complained that Phaedra has kept his sons, Ayden, 7, and Dylan, 4, from him since he entered prison. It’s not a claim Phaedra denies outright, though in her latest interview with Us Weekly, she said “when he calls, obviously we answer.” But right now, Phaedra said Apollo isn’t allowed to have visitors or even calls because he’s in solitary confinement. Asked whether she might take her boys to see their dad when he’s no longer in solitary, the reality star said it’s a “possibility.”
“When Apollo left Dylan was barely a year old so he doesn’t really have the recollection of Apollo like Ayden has, Phaedra said, explaining her sons’ current relationship with their dad. “Ayden of course has very fond memories of his father so he realizes that he’s in New Jersey, but as far as specifically, Apollo told them, but I don’t think they appreciate really what being incarcerated means, and of course because they are at such a tender age, that’s not something I’m really honing in on.”
The rumor is that Apollo was taken into solitary confinement after he was caught with a cell phone in prison. If Phaedra didn’t take her kids to see their dad before then I doubt the “possibility” of her taking them now is very high. But regardless of what she chooses regarding her boys in the future, right now, Phaedra said is focused on finally finalizing her divorce.
“Of course it’s very frustrating, it’s very expensive, it’s very emotionally draining and quite time consuming,” she said of having to go through the process again. “It’s a very difficult process and it’s unfortunate that it was overturned but it is what it is and so I’ll go through the process again and we’ll see what happens this time. Hopefully it won’t take as long as it did the first time.”
Now that her boys are older, should Phaedra take them to see Apollo when he’s out of solitary confinement?
