Pharedra Parks\u00a0is glad to have her divorce from\u00a0Apollo Nida\u00a0over and done with.<\/p>\n

While exclusively speaking to PEOPLE at an opening for Beverly Hills Rejuvenation, the former\u00a0Real Housewives of Atlanta\u00a0star opens up about the “peace” she’s recently felt now that her divorce and her days holding a peach on the Bravo show are behind her.<\/p>\n

“I think you can be aged by your surroundings,” she says, explaining her newfound glow. “Being on terrible shows with terrible women, being in terrible marriages that will age you. So once I got off a terrible show and got out of a terrible marriage and had my wonderful children … I could focus on myself and not all the bulls—.”<\/p>\n

Though her marriage to Nida didn’t work out, Parks revealed that she and her ex were on good terms now and she was stepping her toe back into the dating field.<\/p>\n

“I’m dating,” she shares, before clarifying, “The thing is I’m single and satisfied. I’m not one of those women that thinks that their life depends on a man.”<\/p>\n

“I’m really that girl,” Parks quips. “So I’m like the whole red velvet cake. A man can be icing, but red velvet is good by yourself.”<\/p>\n

Parks, 50, and Nida, 45, married in 2009 and were introduced to Bravo audiences in season 3 of\u00a0RHOA<\/em>, when she joined the cast as a Housewife.<\/p>\n

But in 2014, Nida pled guilty to a conspiracy to commit\u00a0mail fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud and identity theft. He was ordered to pay $1.9 million in restitution and began serving an\u00a0eight-year prison sentence.<\/p>\n

Parks filed for divorce in 2015, not long after Nida returned behind bars. Their divorce was finalized in July 2017.<\/p>\n

Since then, Parks has dated casually, but she’s mostly kept her romances away from the private eye.<\/p>\n

In February, PEOPLE exclusively confirmed that both Parks and Nida would be\u00a0reuniting for the first time on camera\u00a0in season 10 of\u00a0Married to Medicine.<\/p>\n

Parks’ costars\u00a0Dr. Jackie Walters,\u00a0Dr. Simone Whitmore,\u00a0Toya Bush-Harris,\u00a0Dr. Heavenly Kimes,\u00a0Quad Webb,\u00a0Lateasha Lunceford\u00a0and\u00a0Dr. Alicia Egolum\u00a0were all kept in the dark about Nida’s appearance, and were shocked when he showed up at the taping in January in New York City, a source told PEOPLE.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
