"I think that there’s more advantages than disadvantages with a young guy," Parks said
Phaedra Parks has plenty of romance in her life right now!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 51, recently spoke with E! News and spilled the details on her current relationship status. Explaining that she isn’t looking for anything too serious, Parks shared that she has been seeing a younger man — and fans might get to see him on their screens soon.
"I met him on Married to Medicine," she said, going on to reveal that her co-star Latesha “Sweet Tea” Lunceford "witnessed it all unfold” after introducing the two.
"Good old Sweet Tea, honey," Parks said. “She's in an age-gap relationship, so she had this little event and it was the best event of the season."
"I'm just having fun," she continued. "It's nothing so serious and I don't know if I'll ever be serious. Maybe there's another man out there for me. I'm an equal-opportunity employer. It's been fun dating, but I have no desire to remarry. I wanna keep all my money."
Although Parks didn’t share the exact age of her new beau, she told the outlet that dating someone younger comes with its perks.
"When you are in your 30s, you can do most things and not be sore in the morning," she said. "Sometimes maturity might be a disadvantage, but I think that there’s more advantages than disadvantages with a young guy."
Parks teased her relationship in November when she revealed during a panel at Bravo Fan Fest that she was dating a “delicious” guy in his “early 30s.” Still, she echoed her comments about not looking to remarry after her tumultuous six-year relationship with ex-husband Apollo Nida, with whom she shares sons Ayden, 14, and Dylan, 11.
"[Marriage] isn't something I'm interested in. I'm very wealthy, I can take care of myself. I like being able to call the shots," she said at the time. "Women know when you have a husband, sometimes you have to be... nice."
In addition to her busy dating life, Parks spent the past year expanding her reality television wings. In addition to Married to Medicine, she participated in The Traitors and competed on Dancing with the Stars. She also announced her return to RHOA in July.
"They called and I answered," she told PEOPLE the following month. "We were the No. 1 franchise of Housewives and I was a part of making that franchise a successful franchise. And I would love to bring the franchise back to its heyday."
"I will say this, it’s going to be an amazing season," she added. "I mean, it will definitely be reminiscent to the Housewives you love originally."
