Apollo Nida Speaks Out From Prison!

Apollo Nida has been in prison for two months serving his eight year sentence for fraud and identity theft and is speaking out about his life behind bars, how he betrayed his family and what the future holds for his marriage.

"I'm not the best husband...I know I let a lot of people down" he exclusivley tells In Touch. "But I can say that Phaedra is the best wife and mom and that my children are in good hands with her."

Apollo also reveals that he's optimistic for the couple's future, saying, "I'm hopeful that we can stick things out." Phaedra, however, may have a different idea: her rep tells the magazine that "the divorce is proceeding as planned." (The Atlanta Housewife revealed her intent to file last month.)

For now, Apollo is focused on rehabilitating himself at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky:

"There are all walks of life here," he says. "I keep to myself." But he hopes the time will do him some good. "When I get out, it's pedal to the metal. I want to be a motivational speaker and stay on the right side of the law."

He also hopes to rebuild his relationship with his two sons, Ayden and Dylan. "There's a plan to get them up here [to visit me]," he says. "At this point, I don't care about anything else except getting my life back on track. I know for a fact that when I get home, I will pick up the pieces."
