Parks is also a fan favorite on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and has her hand in a lot of projects around town.
But did you know she was a self-professed “sugar mama”?
Earlier this season Marko Marlo Hampton used the same term in reference to Kandi Burruss, who she claimed was dishing out dough to her new boo, but clearly DeMario Marlo missed the mark.
Whooda thought it was Phaedra who was the “sugar mama” all along? She even admits it in a recent interview with People magazine
Phaedra also spills a lil bit about a few of her RHOA castmates… ie NeNe Leakes’ issues with her and who’s her BFF on the show.
Video + more photos below…
“Kandi is my best friend on the show. We hang out quite a bit.”
NeNe and I are from the same hometown (Athens, Georgia – Clarke County). I have no problems with NeNe. I’ve said that on numerous occasions. For some reason she just has had issues with me.
But no one intimidates me. I’m a lil fireball.
Phaedra goes on to reveal that in addition to her busy schedule as an attorney/reality show diva, she’s still pursuing dream of running a funeral home and is even in mortician school to become a “certified funeral directress” (whatever that is).
But her MOST IMPORTANT job of all is being a wife to Apollo and mother/sugar mama to baby Ayden…
VIDEO: Pheadra Parks: “I am THE Sugar Mama”
Everyone remembers the first season when I said I was gonna whip him… I was gonna give him a spanking.
I grew up in a very religious household that was very strict and I got plenty of spankings. I believe I got a spanking everyday.
I THOUGHT that I would be a strong disciplinarian but now I am the “Sugar Mama”… I can’t do anything but love my little boy. He is sooo sweet! I’m just a marshmallow.
Sugar Mama game proper!
So now EVERYBODY KNOWS that Phaedra Parks is a ‘fireball’ in the courtroom and a marshmallow at home!
Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be?

cute family
She didn’t mean it like a REAL sugar mama… She was talking about how she’s a softy for her son and she thought she would be the more strict one
I luv Phaedra !
I like Phaedra and admire her character. But that being said,how is Kandi your BEST FRIEND? When she asked for a nod to a yes or no question which you clearly knew the answer to(you’re a lawyer) you waited for the cock to crow three times and still came up with crickets?!
I’m a sugar mama, too! I love to kiss my kids, my mama & my man!!! lol!
Awwww! Phaedra and her family are soooo cute!!! She’s my favorite housewife…
Cute story and very cute little family!
They really are just the cutest family…strange mouth noises not withstanding,
. Phaedra has really grown on me, though I wish she would have spoken up during the convo. w/Kim, Sheree (ol lyin azz) & Kandi.
Awwww are you Phaedra’s booty licker???
admitting that there is a problem–is the first step to recovery–smh!
um honey when was the last time you were in a court room? your baby is just gorgeous !!! ne ne never had a problem with you , you had the problem with her. ALSO, YOU AND KANDI BEEN FRIENDS BEFORE THE SHOW, TELL THE TRUTH YALL KNEW EACH OTHER FOR YEARS DUE TO THE INDUSTRY!!! THAT IS NOTHING NEW!!!! NEXT!!!!
UH….if she wants to trick on her HUSBAND…then let her. Who better to spoil him than his wife? Husband’s spoil their wives all the time. G’on girl! That’s why she’ll still be married to him years from now and Sharee will still have an empty lot! dumbazz!
Phaedra has it going on!cute son, and handsome husband. Law degree, and TV show. I am not a Tv person, but I watch the show, mainly for her, though I do also like the other ladies, she just keeps me laughing. She says everything I be thinking!
Love Phaedra! I like all of the housewives except Sheree ugaly *ss!
@ Mary you sound stupid
I met Phaedra once several years ago. It was a meeting of people who practice law or were paralegals. She had a friend on the panel of speakers and came out to show support to her colleague. I was able to have a conversation while we had desert and she was just as witty as she was on the show. Time flew by as we spoke and I found her to be a very funny and intelligent person. She seems like a good mom as well. Many blessing to you and yours.
Seriously,with all being said,it would be very hard to hate on Phaedra. I also wish he much success in her many endeavors and she has the cutest baby (and hubby).Though sometimes,after court cases for BadAzzBB,as a lawyer,I do wonder about her defense. But…ahhhh what da’ hell. That’s her job and I won’t think of the party being prosecuted.Hopefully those cases didn’t involve my girl.Other than that, Phaedra’s a first class act…until reunion.
i envy 90% of phaedra’s life. homegirl is legit smart, has legit money, good friends and a cute husband. she is just so busted in the face and tacky azz outfits. just so ugly:( what a damn shame.
Phaedra is great and her family is adorable. I almost licked the screen when I saw apollo with his shirt off! DDDDAAAAMMMNN!
He is one fine specimen!
Bwahahahaaaa @ "I almost licked the screen…."!
Thanks MinnieMe, I needed that one… LLS
I really enjoy the show…I feel that everyone on the show is over the age of 18 and should at least at like it.Sheree needs to stop trying to act like she has it all together with her trouble making self…She need to continue building her home and focus on her on life that spreading rumor about the other cast members….. and try to get stuff she can afford instead of keeping up with everyone else because all the other women has means of support.Kim has Croy.Phaedra has her career.Nee Nee has her career.Kandi has her singing career, and the Cynthina has her modeling going on.What do you have going on Sheree? A want to be designer career come down off the high horse girl.If it was not for the show what other means of support do you have?????
Phaedra,
I love your family. You are looking more and more like your mother. Appolo and the baby are fine!!!!
[...] threw a huge bash for the only man she says can officially call her his “Sugar Mama”, at Francis Meadows Aquatic Center, a facility named after Parks aunt (Frances Meadows), the first [...]
Well at least she got her a yellow man, and now a light-skinned baby to boot. Now isn’t that what most southern black women want, even if he is a convict or un-educated!!!
