Read the attorney and mortician's exciting announcement.
Phaedra Parks is officially picking up her peach again.
The attorney, mortician, and mom of two confirmed that she is returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta for Season 16 on Instagram on July 29.
Phaedra shared a carousel of photos of her holding a peach on the stairs heading up to a private plane.
"You called. I answered," she captioned the post, along with hashtags for RHOA and S16.
Phaedra previously appeared on RHOA as a full-time cast member from Season 3 through Season 9. During her time on the show, Phaedra gave birth to her two sons, Dylan and Ayden Nida (aka Mr. President and the Prince, respectively), and she split from her husband, Apollo Nida, as he navigated legal troubles.
Phaedra Parks' Life After RHOA
Following her original run on the show, Phaedra went on to appear on Season 2 of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, and she was a cast member on Season 10 of Married to Medicine. She also competed on the second season of Peacock's The Traitors. She also popped up on Season 1 of The Real Housewives of Dubai.
What does Phaedra Parks do for a living?
Since her first run on RHOA, Phaedra has been keeping busy in both her personal life and her professional life. In addition to her appearances on the aforementioned Bravo and Peacock shows, Phaedra recently returned to her law school alma mater, the University of Georgia, to deliver a commencement speech for the graduating class.
She also became the president of the Law School Alumni Council. Phaedra commemorated the special moment on her Instagram feed.
"Saturday was one of the best days of my life!” she captioned her May 20 post. “As the [President] of [UGA] Law school alumni association, I had the pleasure of welcoming our 2024 graduates to our alumni family! I love my UGA [hashtag] 4thgeneration. Go DAWGS!”
Phaedra Parks shares an update on parenting her sons
A few months earlier, in February 2024, Phaedra shared a parenting update.
"I have three rules for my sons. Be respectful of adults, ‘yes and no ma’am’ all the time. My second rule is clean up behind yourself. And the last thing is be grateful," Phaedra revealed to PEOPLE about how she's raising her two sons.
Is Phaedra Parks dating?
It's unclear if Phaedra is currently dating anyone special, but she has said she doesn't have immediate plans to marry again. "I don't think you have to put a label on something," Phaedra explained on an episode of Married to Medicine Season 10. "And I think for people who are high-income people, it's too dangerous to get married."
"I'm not lonely," Phaedra added. "I guess because I did have a very bad divorce, I was in love, I was so happy, and it went crazy like super quick."
Now, viewers will get another look at Phaedra's life when she returns to RHOA for Season 16.
