Phaedra Parks made it clear that she is not looking forward to returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta anytime soon. The self-proclaimed Southern Belle revealed the reason is that she is in a “wonderful place” with her boyfriend Medina Islam.
“Right now, I’m finding love,” Phaedra said on Us Weekly’s “Getting Real with the Housewives” podcast. “I’m really in a wonderful place. I’m happy. I want to love, love, not fight for love. I’m in a great place. I’m always happy for those years I spent [on the show], but everybody has to grow.”
As you may recall, NeNe Leakes has been campaigning for Parks to return to the series, but the reality star thanks and praises her former co-star. “I love Nene. We’re from the same hometown and I really respect her because she’s a mogul in every sense of the word,” the former Bravo star told Us. “And I’ve seen her just grow by leaps and bounds.”
These days, Parks is focusing on her relationship with Islam as the couple is part of the current cast of WEtv's Marriage Boot Camp: Hip-Hop Edition.
“He has a daughter, so we are both very respectful of each other as parents,” Phaedra told Us Weekly. “That’s what really made me gravitate toward him because he had no issues with my stance on being in my children’s life at a certain point. I don’t think that you should just bring in a lot of random people. I’m very private because I have to be protective.”
