It was his second time behind bars. He first served five years in a federal prison for auto title fraud before marrying Phaedra Parks, in 2009

Phaedra filed for divorce shortly after his sentencing and it was finalized back in 2016. The former couple share two sons together.

Prison records show that Apollo, 40, will spend 4 months in the halfway house.  He’s scheduled to be released from that part of his sentence on October 15, 2019.
