Phaedra Parks and her hubby Apollo hit up Ted Turner’s Captain Planet Anniversary celebration last week where they posed for the lovely picture above.
The cute couple was featured on Bravo’s What Happens Now last night, where Phaedra & Apollo finally got to explain herself and the way she’s perceived on the show.
A few things they touched on included those pickle pictures, the due date discrepancy, how they met on the highway and more.
In case you missed it, check out Phaedra & Apollo’s question & answer session with Bravo Andy PLUS un-aired footage below:

Apollo on how he met his wife Phaedra:
Back in 1996, I was on 285 near the Chattahoochee bridge stuck in traffic. We’re in rush hour traffic and I look to my left and see this pretty young thing. I asked her to roll her window down and she wouldn’t. I’m like ‘roll the window down give me your number’…
so I chased her through traffic for a little bit and the next thing you know we’re merging on the same exit. So she’s like follow me. And I followed her to her house.
We exchanged numbers and we started dating from there. I lied about my age. (I’m younger… about 4 years). She was in law school and I was in high school at the time.

Phaedra On the due date discrepancy:
At the end of the day, I had a high risk pregnancy and a lot of things weren’t shown on camera that was going on with the preganancy. While I know these young ladies and we have a relationship, they are not my closest of friends. Everyone close to me knew what were going on with the pregnancy. I needed people who were prayerful people (not saying that none of these ladies aren’t) but I needed people who were going to be supportive of me.
I think you can see from watching the show that these ladies were not very nice to me. Kind of like the mean girls of Atlanta. They seemed to be interested in salacious gossip instead of how I was doing. So I chose to keep things private.

All i know is Phaedra and Apollo should have went over
there lies…oops stories before the show. They sound crazy!
especially abt how they met
They both make a fabulous looking couple and they have a beautiful healthy baby boy.
Sidebar: I thought couple met at college? Blank stare.
Whatever makes her happy.
I don’t think Phadrea can tell the truth if it stared her in the face. Her stories change every time you look around.. But that’s the profession of attorney’s..
Peace!!
I think they make a nice looking couple. It doesn’t seem "genuine" but they look nice together. Regardless of that, she didn’t explain shat (not that she had to b/c it wasn’t too hard to figure out) about why she lied about her due date.
Phaedra we all know you humped him, got preggars and then hurried up and got married so that you wouldn’t be percieved as a h0e! Girl folks do it every day. Own up to yo’ hoe’ish ways.
….whats that saying….."Everybody knows about the preacher’s daughter.." LOL
I don’t understand it how are you only 4 years young the Phadrea when it was noted on the RHOA bio of her she was 38 but then on the Mother’s Day episode when Peter asked Apollo how old he was he said 30. So if you are only 4years younger that would make you 34 or are you just 30 and 8 years younger then her. ummmm it’s just like she answered to the baby’s weight being 7lbs 23ozs…WTW?????? and you chased her down was that in one of the stolen cars..LOL
And come on Phadrea true the baby was born in wed lock but just admit it..you were doing the nasty got pregnant had a shot gun but big wedding and now you think it’s all good and you brag…but 40 weeks is 40 weeks no matter how you count it..
When she said 23 ozs, I stopped listening to everything she was saying. I think she lives in her own world, and sees things the way she wants to see them. She’s not the only person in the world who lives like that, but she shouldn’t expect that most people will play pretend with her. I wish her every happiness.
If her parents are "pastor"like she claims, ummm…what is up with all of this lying and falsehoods?It will come out in the wash anyway, so you may as well be honest about it.Crazy.It’s hard to keep a lie straight…just lying for the heck of it.SMH
"pastors"
Oh Finally, Another type of Atl Woman that really reps the Majority of the Real GA Peaches that work more than a pole,their mouth, and the middle candy for a living. I Love Phaedra, as she said "Its Entertainment" and she got that What PreNup..LOL.. Nothing Beats Education because everyone can’t marry old rich or young ballers. Its sad to see so many woman becoming Baby Mama’s to these Celebs and can’t get Marry until the child is 5-10 yrs old. These situations end in divorce; Shani,Sherree,and you can add to the list.. You got to bring more to the table than a Baby to get Retirement. Lets Get Back to the Pres.Obama image for our Families.. Balance.
Phaedra is so weird on this show. I totally agree with the person that wrote "she should have worked on her lies before they came on the show", she gets caught up in so many lies and still tries to act like no one noticed. You are on National TV, we all noticed.

I think Phaedra could’ve avoided the whole thing if she would have just been a biatch about it to begin with.
"When is your baby due?"
"When he gets here."
Folks don’t have a right to be up in her business about her baby’s due date and if she would have checked the BS from the beginning, nobody would care. I can understand her not wanting ot advertise the premarital sex thing on national TV…y’all HAVE seen her mama, right?
And let’s be real. She wouldn’t be the first of us to take that position when we’re thinking about what mama and daddy might say. Sure, parents usually know some stuff, especially mamas, but most mamas don’t want really WANT confirmation of it.
So can we all get of Phaedra like she got the market cornered on playing house with man, getting pregnant and getting married? Heck, at least she GOT married. And Apollo doesn’t seem unhappy to ME. They have a beautiful son and they seem happy. All the stingen witches circling her business like a bunch of buzzards was just ridiculous.
It ain’t that serious. And really, it ain’t serious at all. If you got time to concern yourself with who I’m screwing when I’m screwing, you obviously need a hobby because you got TOO much time on your hands.
And none of them have room to talk. Kandi’s a single mom (though I love her dearly…and I’ll back off her because she wasn’t really the one talking about Phaedra).
Kim? Seriously…do I really need to go THERE? She was tied for the loudest big mouth. And she doesn’t even have a little bit of room to navigate with all the muck she’s in: married man’s whore (very publicly and proudly advertised as if there’s nothing wrong with it), sleeping with a woman here, an athlete there, lying about being an RN when in fact, she’s a LPN (big difference in the education ALONE), allowing her daughters to be around to witness her foolishness, and got those 2 daughters out of wedlock her dayum self. See? NO ROOM to put her lips on anybody. She needs to go sit on somebody’s couch and get some stuff off her chest and some self-esteem with it.
NeNe…oh, NeNe…SHUT UP! Her marriage has fallen apart. She emasculated the hell out of her husband and expected that to get her somewhere. People don’t really RESPECT NeNe– they’re AFRAID of her. She’s a bully whose own son is lazy as hell. She told him some good stuff, but it might prove to be too little too late. And she’s not the greatest friend. She betrayed Cynthia with the friendship contract and then sat back and laughed when they were fighting over her. I can’t really be mad at the bus thing because although she had a piss poor approach, she told Kim some good stuff.
Cynthia…I feel bad for her. She’s much too old to be this naive. Peter doesn’t mean her any good and that marriage won’t last. He wanted her to KEEP pouring money into that failing restaurant and when she didn’t, he just shut it down! He didn’t really TRY to get other sources because he’s too dayum prideful to go get his hustle one. He’d rather keep taking money from him. If I was Cynthia, I wouldn’t have been worried about the dang wedding. I would be worried about who’s gonna pay all the dang bills AFTER we’ve said, "I do." All I can say is I hope she had the sense to get a pre-nup.
-Peace
