Phaedra Parks’ Teen Sons Have a Lot of Opinions on Her Next Boyfriend (Exclusive)

Phaedra Parks‘ sons are vetting everyone she dates to make sure they meet very specific criteria.

In the video above, Real Housewives of Atlanta star participated in SheKnows’ Parents Tell All and dished all about life with her boys, 15-year-old Ayden and 12-year-old Dylan.

Parks has met her match with her “opinionated” boys who weigh in on all aspects of her life, particularly her youngest son, who she says inherited her “sharp tongue.”

“The hardest part of having a tween and a teenager is basically they’re so opinionated, they know everything, but absolutely know nothing,” she told us. “And so they’re always continuously challenging you or asking questions, and that’s these new age kids, because we didn’t do that when I was growing up.”

Parks, who split from her sons’ father, Apollo Nida, in 2017 after eight years of marriage, says her boys also don’t hesitate to speak their minds when it comes to who she dates.

“The oldest one is more interested in what the people look like,” she said. “The youngest is more interested in what their bank account looks like.”

“The youngest, he’s like, ‘What kind of car do they have? Do they have a plane? What can they do for us?’ The oldest is like, ‘Is he attractive? Does he have muscles?’ You know, like one wants Fabio, the other wants, I don’t know, Jeff Bezos.”

That said, Parks isn’t taking her sons’ opinions too seriously, telling Stylecaster in a May 25 interview that she’s feeling “free” since returning to RHOA single, eight years after fans last saw her on the show.

“Well, when you first saw me, I was married to a person who was very controlling,” Parks said. “Now, I’m free to be who I am, and I don’t have to consider my partner. I’m single, satisfied, and successful. I can do what I want, and I don’t have to worry about anyone else’s opinions.”
