Not only does her dating life consistently make headlines — and her on-screen antics with her castmates also tend to get people talking — but fans want to get more info about her children. Here’s what we know.
How many kids does Phaedra Parks have? She has two bundles of joy.
Phaedra has two children named Dylan and Ayden with her ex-husband Apollo Nida. The couple was together for nearly a decade before calling it quits. Despite a long divorce process, which included an appeal on his side, the two were able to finalize their split in 2017.
It’s been reported that Phaedra has primary physical custody of both of their children, and Apollo still shares joint legal custody per their agreement.
The reality TV star mother constantly shares pictures of her sons with her fans on her Instagram. She also shares her approach to raising her sons well.

Even though they come from a wealthy family, Phaedra wants to make sure that their privilege doesn’t go straight to their heads. Instead, she ensure that the boys are well-rounded individuals, and has rules in place to make sure that happens.
“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. I definitely will take their phone away and follow through with that because I worked too hard for them not to appreciate,” the housewife told People.
Phadrea’s son Ayden is already planning on pursuing real estate investment at less than 18 years old.

For his 13th birthday, Phadera shocked the world when she revealed that she gave Ayden over $100,000 to pursue his career as an entrepreneur, specifically in real estate.
“So he said for his birthday he either wanted a dirt bike or a way to make money. And so I said, ‘Well definitely not gonna give you a dirt bike to kill yourself. I will give you $150,000 for you to buy a piece of property. And so now he’s basically trying to figure out if he wants to do a little multi-unit duplex, you know, [start] his own little rental properties,” she explained to People.
‘RHOA’ fans have enjoyed seeing Phaedra and her children on ‘Married to Medicine.’

As Phaedra continues raising her sons to be financially responsible young men, those who watched Phaedra on RHOA watched Ayden and Dylan grow up before our eyes. So, when Phaedra was fired from RHOA, many fans were saddened that the boys wouldn’t be on our screens anymore either.
Fortunately, that changed once Phaedra joined Married to Medicine and showed us that her children weren’t so little anymore.

On Season 10, Ep. 11 of M2M, Phaedra’s new cast members helped her celebrate her oldest son with a lavish backyard party. During the event, Ayden delivered a heartfelt speech to Phaedra, calling his mom his “rock.” The emotional moment even made Phaedra’s biggest naysayers shed a tear.
One person in Phaedra’s life who wasn’t a part of her M2M journey was her ex, Apollo. In Ep. 11, Apollo was noticeably absent from Ayden’s party. However, there is no need to worry about drama between the exes. One week before the episode’s premiere, Phaedra told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that “co-parenting is going great” with Apollo, proving they’ve come a long way!
