Phaedra Parks is a single mom again. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star has reportedly split from her young boyfriend, Tone Kapone.
According to The Jasmine Brand, Phaedra, 45, and the 30-something Chicago radio DJ have called it quits.
The split comes amid rumors that Phaedra may be making a return to Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta. Phaedra was kicked off the show after she locked horns with RHOA regular Kandi Burruss.
Kandi as publicly stated she will not return to the show if Phaedra is on the set.
The mom-of-2 took her relationship with Tone public in January by posting a photo that showed them attending a New Year’s Eve party in Chicago.
Most of Phaedra’s Instagram.com followers were supportive, but a few side-eyed the union.
One IG user wrote, “Something about the eyes don’t look right..”
Her followers had good reason to be skeptical since most young men are genetically wired to prefer women of childbearing age. Phaedra is well past child bearing age.
The attorney and entrepreneur has two sons, Dylan and Ayden, by ex-husband Apollo Nida who is currently doing time in the state pen for white collar crimes.

This was a long distance relationship that I didn’t think would last. They should’ve just left it as F buddies and stayed out the public eye.

This relationship was for publicity…she needed a way in for a new Peach…Tone gives me “rent-a-man” vibes…I wonder how much he charges for his services…
Cuffing season is OFFICIALLY over. I swear the minute it gets hot outside, folks get to fighting and breaking up. Dudes ain’t scared to get put out because it ain’t too cold to sleep outside. Single all summer 2019.
So she was basically doing what she accused Kenya of doing with Walter, paying a man?!?!?! lol
She favors Niecy Nash in that first pic.
Damn that ended quick. I feel embarrassed for people who announce (often) their new lover on social media, just to break up a few months later. Yikes.
These light skinned ninjas can’t handle my Phae Phae…she is a lot to deal with..
I do too. I’m glad I don’t need validation for my life choices.
Shes toxic I believe..But I also know Tone is for everybody(I live in Chicago area)
Lol…wow
“Kandi has publicly stated she will not return to the show if Phaedra is on the set. ”
If that’s true, please bring Phaedra back. I don’t even watch the show but I get sick of hearing about how Kandi doesn’t need the show because she’s so rich and has so many other things to do.
When are they gonna learn? Been with my hubby since 1992. We post on anniversary, mother’s and father’s day, Valentine’s Day, and kids’ birthday. Just acknowledgments.
He has the “I’m for errbody” look….
Well, hopefully they had fun, while it lasted!
I don’t think most long-distance relationships work, and younger men have needs!
Like having kids, their wife fitting in with their circle of friends, and being the lead, as a couple, otherwise, it’s get what you can for most!
I’m trying to cuff and be single…is that possible?
Kandi is a bama OMG idc how much dough she has ?
Was she upset her babies came out brown skin?
She looked a lil too mature for this guy.
Chile….
Of course it was…..because it wasn’t really.nothing in the beginning. When have you ever seen them together? She is announcing him…..he is not announcing her. Even when she was married……To me it even seemed like she was waaaay more into Apollo than he was into her. She took care of him that man didn’t even work.
Ain’t nobody checking for Phaedra….not for real anyway.
He was fine and I’m sure scratched that itch
People actually “need” validation from social media. They want the attention….they hope for the “likes”. He was attractive and young and she wanted to show the world because she’s older. Phaedra is the worse kind….so happy to have a light skinned man…and she make sure that she takes care of them. She is sad.
I think she’s cute with her “built close” self. Shell find a new toy soon.
Where are the receipts? Did she publicly announce it? Did he? Just according to the Jasmine Brand Huh? I’m such a skeptic on ERRThang, I don’t believe break ups or unions until I can see it for myself or show me some receipts….
Yes and it’s fun
Ain’t nobody checking for Phaedra….not for real anyway. That part.
Thank you.
Phaedra has a type ?
OOH don’t do that ?
…cuz the bish clearly has a type.
What is a Bama
Someone please find Phaedra a stylist because every thing she wears emphasizes her short dumpy build.
I aint gone lie…I love a redbone or a hershey kiss (milk or dark) but the redbones have issues…they always gotta be the loudest or toughest in the room cause they were called Pretty Ricky all they damn life..
She love em tho…
Built close ???
He looks goofy … Probably was
He looks like a f boy. ??
This was for her to get back on the show I didn’t think for one sec this was real even though he does favor apollo
THATs cuz she short and any lil born of thickness or weight makes us short women look like or body parts are smushed together
So how will they work in Apollo now that Phaedra can’t come back?
Loloololol. It’s just a saying…i’d define it as country trash…
Please that DJ into himself!
I’m not sure she’s past the child bearing years. Women are having babies late in life at this point and I’m sure if she REALLY wanted one she could make that happen. It is no longer taboo using a surrogate so if that was a contingency on her relationship, if she wanted that I’m sure she would have made that happen. She waiting on Apollo folks!
Chile I went out with a younger guy once ????? We were talking about something and he said “ who learned you that?” I waited until he went to the bathroom and sprinted to my car. There is nothing like a seasoned grown azz man!! 40+ me please ? https://media0.giphy.com/media/xULW8t4AwvbzYWIWxq/giphy.gif
he does look like Apollo. Looks like she wants that ol’ thang back.
I predict that JLo and Arod are next due to the things they have been saying and doing lately.
I laughed too hard at this. I imagined the Gabriel Union scene with the guy that was “40 Shawty” ?
Yep. Very much so.
Hunny I couldn’t wait til he went to the bathroom?
Until somebody catches feelings ??
Awe man. Im crine. He coulda just been country as hell vs just young minded as all get out. Im cracking UP at the visual
My ex 6’6″ was 10 years my jr..sex great..conversation limited..the benefit was he always dated older so his maturity was almost there..
Dub my brain wouldn’t even process the shyt. I was looking at him with a blank stAre like Kelly Bundy?????
Oh. Dust thyself off and try again
Gross
She definitely has a type…Light skin rapper criminals….ugh.. aim higher ma’am…u have so much going for you and u cute….
Oh I remember your six footer chile ??
Lots of open faced rompers going on…
I said that and was called a hater. LOL
This is true! The most insecure man I ever was with was mixed race, and he had raging insecurities because of his skin color. He was a huge liar, possessive and b*tchy. He admitted to me that he felt like he needed to go harder at everything to be accepted as a black man.
She seems like the type to be hung up on light vs. dark, she’s country enough. The brown skin boy actually looks the most like Apollo, he’s going to be a little lady killer.
Everybody a hater.. she does look really mature. Not “OLD” just extremely seasoned ?
You can tell by the way she dresses that she’s country. That horrendous red rooster hair season 2 gave it away.
Right. Like they just didn’t match. Even in photos. She’s in a dress and heels and he is in jeans, tee shirt, and sneakers. Just weird.
Red rooster hair…definitely a giveaway ?
Looking like mother & son. No ma’am.
That’s what I’m talking about, but them youngins be trying.
Hmmmmm
She removed all past photos of him from her IG. He did the same with her pics.
oh well….she will find another…hopefully in her age bracket….better luck next time Phae Phae!!!
He made a comment a while back that he was “Chicago forever,” that he’d “never” leave. Given Phaedra’s roots and large social network in Atlanta, I don’t see her leaving Atlanta either. Thus, the relationship (if it was real) was at an impasse anyway.
I feel kinda bad for her. This guy I think is college-educated and had a real job somewhat in the entertainment field like her. I liked them together. He had much more substance than her ignorant, perpetually felonious ex-husband.
Phaedra love herself a light skin man. She fine as hell to me though. Get you some dark chocolate girl..
Pha Pha looks uncomfortable in everything I’ve seen her wear. Clothes look like they hurt like hell!
Tell me about it!!!! 50+, suited and booted please for this grown 48 year old woman!!!
Awwwwww damn…damn….damn….
She needs to get together with Dereck J because both of them have those wide linebacker shoulders and find someone who can assist them with something flattering.
Phaedra is too thick for that style and the stripes make her look bigger.
Sleep outside!!! ? it’s not a good idea to get involved with a guy if he has an option to sleep outside.
They were cute together to me. Too bad. Does she have a thing for lightskin menzzz?
And I’ll take Kandi over Phaedra any single day.
If they’ve been shacking up with someone the whole cold season, then there is the option.
I was so annoyed when she had the nerve to do a workout video, meaty as she was. It was like “you think this is good enough for black women hun?”
That was fast! And that pink print striped outfit distracts from the camel toe…I guess…because it’s awful close ?
Giselle said that she Heard…that Phaedra and Jamal were dating..he denied it . But that more up her alley. Tone reminded me of her upstanding husband, whom kept his pickle warm with other ladies..
Allegedly https://media3.giphy.com/media/3o85xmlKFUVQo2L4jK/giphy.gif
Hmmm was his vernacular because he was southern maybe? My ex from Louisiana used to speak that way.
LOL! Wow and EWW!
Once he realized she wasn’t getting back on RHOA he BOUNCED!!! Let me slide in his DMs in case he looking for a rebound
he foineee
Smushed…?
Phaedra will forever be single…she has hit that 50 yr old mark but still looking for young boys to lay with. What happen to all her jobs..nevermind we knew they were not real. She need to find a stable man in her age group and take her time and build a solid relationship.
I’m disappointed in Phaedra. There has to be a reason she can’t find a decent, God fearing family man, hard working attorney, judge, business executive in Atlanta that makes just as much as she does. She has two beautiful babies. She shouldn’t be looking for a one night stand and if she is so be it. But don’t blast a fling all over IG. I don’t know why people do that. Hell before my husband, I stayed single for over five years. And my last relationship was over three months before anyone knew.
Has it been confirmed that she is going back?! And why would he jump ship if she is?
I think housewives was a good revival for Kandi. I personally believe it is time for her to leave, she should have resigned after the situation with Porsha and Phaedra. Porsha should have resigned or gotten the boot too. She brings eye candy to the show but that is all. I like the OGs, Nene, Sheree, and Kim. They haven’t found the right recipe for this show other then those three. Phaedra and Kenya were good for TV.
No Chile lol my ex husband is from New Orleans so I’m familiar. There were other slip ups that I didn’t mention????? The entire conversation was just off
I went to undergrad and grad school in NOLA…. and that is definitely a southern thing…. Or @ least
in NOLA, but lawd…. I can only take them talking like that in the south…. #Chi-Towngal… ?
? I tried…and I completely understand
I agree…Southerners definitely speak differently and Louisiana is an entirely different speech ??
Well if it’s work for Kenya Moore as for her formula and tweaks it a bit to suit you Phaedra.
Shouldn’t she be a decent, God-fearing woman herself first to attract these things?
Thank you!
She attracts what she puts out. And that’s not much. All this attorney and entrepreneur garbage is a cover up for what she really is.
You’re absolutely correct!
? me too… the attempt was there
My sentiments EXACTLY!
It’s great have confidence…..BUT She’s just phoney baloney!! All that Southern Bell crap and all this fantasy thinking like she some clean cut royal queen of Georgia!! Bring it down a notch. NOBODY DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THAT! I watched that sure maybe a total of 4 times… Just corny get into them. These heifers ….
Hey my fellow Chicagoian #westside #ktown
Why does shorty bump Phaedra look like one of the munchkins? Put her right in the center and you can’t tell the difference.
https://media0.giphy.com/media/oeFFpYDgPuC1G/giphy.gif
Agreed. People need to stop tellin all their biz ness.
I don’t get why its important for the world to know what is going on in someone’s life. Although entertaining, I’m not interested in putting my personal business on front street. What my husband and I share is too sacred for the Gram!
????
Not sure what the photo was intended for but it looks like daytime why are her breasts on display in the middle of the day don’t people wait until night time events to break the boobs out
Neither do I. Too sacred for the gram is right!
She thought they were really going to be together. She liked him probably more than he liked her. He was a look for her and she was thinking of making her light skinded daughter with him. She was the predator and he was the prey that got away.
Look suh (in Jamaican accent). Look at her dark hands and the rest of her body. She don’t want nothing darker than her.
“Who learned you that”????? https://media2.giphy.com/media/3o6ZsSD7UzJPOvQI00/giphy.gif
Lol
Just realized how much kandi has bleached her skin ?
He denied the children he fathered too. He was indeed Mr chocolate.
According to Apollo, the theory on a dawter may be the output of these relations ?
It’s unfortunate, if it’s true. But I remember the chicks on RHOA dating “Mr. Chocolate” lol. Chocolate skin is so silky, smooth and beautiful. I’m lightskin, but I find myself gravitating and attracting brown and darkskin men. However, I don’t have a preference when it comes to things like that. It’s not an important factor. As long as my man is a black man, I’m not concerned about his shade of black.
Yeeeepppp! I am a reformed (on here that is) bad girl ROFL..dang you Sandra Lenay Jenkins ROSE! ROFL!
She don’t like men her age. She like young arm candy that she can control. She wants to be the man in the relationship and she knows if she gets a man her age that will not happened.
Lol I know that’s right. He is a cutie.
Shen does look like she has to stop breathing to be able to put her clothes on. She always looks stuffed.
She had to one up Apollo and get herself a boo before he gets out but poor phae couldn’t hold on to him long enough.
well all they seem to do is unfollow each other these days. My out of touch ass knows nothing about “following,” “liking” or sliding in someone’s DM’s. I stay my ass off of social media and get my daily dose of gossip by reading it here. lol
??
She was too good at being evil to be a good person …what she did to kandi was disgusting and I believe she got apollo locked up … She makes up things and has been doing it her whole life .. I don’t need to know her personally to know that
I am sooooooooooooo tired of all these stupid manchild rappers, scanky rapper heifers I am just soooooooooooooo tired of these folks no benefit to the black community just a hot ass mess! smh…All cultures have a backyard but of course black folks got to turn it up loud and make the backyard the front yard we the only folks who backwards like that but I guess its called keeping it real all the way to the bottom thinking its the top. muslims run a close second with that sharia mess but at least their women are covered so you cant see the bruises Yes I said it. Phadra need to sit her proper church behind down somewhere and stop dating emotionally and financially unavailable men! P.dummy sit down, criminal meek sit down, drake the fake sit down all yall just sit down but then Sandra would not have a blog to entertain us with…umh.. well I guess these fools can stand up sometime! smh
Phadra: one minute she preaching the next minute she skanky
Kenya is a funny messy drama queen and to tell the truth she really does not hurt people she just stirs the pot and that laugh is to die for…she awright..
she has a type: pretty dumb boys!
so true….
men have a type so do women…
I want the content of character. skin-color be damned!
stuffed…lol
who learnt you that…po baby can’t conjugate noun verb tsk tsk tsk
no honey I am from the south and the only folks talking like that is the ig-nant ones
always stuffed…
Tone is in his 40’s.
