Phaedra Parks' Son, Ayden Nida, is Heading to LA for His First Internship: "Proud Mom"

Phaedra Parks' eldest son, Ayden Nida, has some big plans for the summer! The Real Housewives of Atlanta kid practically grew up on screen, after being born on RHOA Season 3, and now has a bright future ahead of him.

Phaedra took to her Instagram Story earlier this week, where she revealed that the 15-year-old is trading in Atlanta for the West Coast, now that he is officially done with his freshman year of high school. In a recent interview with The Daily Dish, Phaedra admitted that Ayden has some big dreams when it comes to his future career (more on that down below), and now he is laying the foundation for it.

In the photo, Ayden, also known as "The Prince," can be seen sitting on an airplane (in "first class only," according to Phaedra), looking directly into the camera. "Headed to LA for his internship as a Jr Wealth Manager," Phaedra wrote in the caption of the post, along with the words "proud mom."

Phaedra Parks opens up about Ayden Nida's next chapter

Phaedra, who co-parents Ayden and her 12-year-old son, Dylan Nida, with her ex-husband, Apollo Nida, recently spoke with The Daily Dish, where she gushed over her sons. In the interview, Phaedra opened up about Ayden's big aspirations for his future.

But she admitted that he doesn't want to follow in her footsteps and become a lawyer: "Well, Ayden wants to be a pilot or an investment banker, so that doesn't include the law, but I think the law degree just complements everything," she said.

Phaedra also expressed her wishes for Ayden to follow in her footsteps and attend the University of Georgia. "I'm fourth generation University of Georgia, so we know he's going to the University of Georgia, but it might be for his law degree, or his master's, but that has to be in the equation," she said. "My grandmother went there, my mom, my dad, my cousin. We are big Georgia, you know?"

Phaedra Parks opens up about Ayden Nida's entrepreneurial ventures

In a January 2025 interview with Essence, Phaedra revealed that Ayden has some serious entrepreneurial aspirations. "Oldest son, he's into cryptocurrency," she said. "Being financially sound is very important to me. So, he's worked with my wealth managers, and he invests in Bitcoin and crypto."

She also admitted that Ayden is interested in the beauty world, as well. "He's also into natural haircare," she added. "He wants to develop his own haircare line because, honey, he can tell you everything about your coils and your 4Cs and your 2As and all this stuff. I have no idea what he's talking about, but he can pull your strand of hair out and tell you exactly what's lacking. So I said, if you're this passionate about curls, you should probably do a hairline."

Bronwyn Newport Accuses RHOSLC Cast Member of ‘Planting Stories’ in the Press

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Bronwyn Newport is in the hot seat. She’s now in her sophomore season on the show, which means if there’s any dirt on her, it’s about to come out. And that’s exactly what happened in Season 6, Episode 6, when the bomb dropped regarding alleged charges of fraud, identity theft, and grand theft. But Bronwyn wanted to know who was behind all these stories coming out in the press. And she’s got her theory that the leak was from someone in the cast.

Bronwyn Newport says there is “no mugshot” and “no police record” on her

During Season 6, Episode 6, Bronwyn discussed with her husband, Todd Bradley, what to do about the wave of stories that came out about her online. And she shared her theory on who planted them, and it was Lisa Barlow.

However, in Season 6, Episode 7, Bronwyn wasn’t quite as direct with her accusations. While in their room on the superyacht, Britani Bateman asked her about the charges.

Bronwyn said, “Look, I’m not ready to say yet, but somebody in this group is definitely planting stories about me to the press.” Britani asked, “You think it’s someone from this group?” Bronwyn said, “Of course it is.”

Later on, Bronwyn was confronted by the group during lunch. She admitted she didn’t pay rent when she was younger, which got her evicted from her apartment. She also clarified there were no charges against her from four years ago, contrary to what they heard.

Bronwyn said, “This new thing people are trying to say is there was something that went on at my work, and I cooperated with authorities about it. They were not charges against me. And years later, all of the charges against ‘not me’ went through. But it was sealed.”

She added, “There’s no charges that are filed about me. There’s no mugshot, there’s no police record. There’s nothing.” Then Bronwyn dished that she felt someone in the group had brought this information to light. Dun, dun, duuun!

Lisa immediately denied it was her, without being accused. There was no proof, but Bronwyn still had her sights on Lisa being the culprit.
