Here’s round two of the baby birth news for today. US Weekly just learned that “Real Housewives of Atlanta’s” Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida just dropped their bun in the oven! A source told the mag that Phaedra gave birth to the couple’s second son today in Atlanta and  ”Mom and baby are doing great.”

Thank God all that drama on the three RHOA reunions didn’t affect Phaedra and Apollo’s little bundle! Though there aren’t any details on the name or the baby’s weight, we’re sure he’s a cutie just like the couple’s 2-year-old son Ayden, and we can only imagine how the southern belle will spoil the new prince in the house. Remember Ayden’s first birthday party?

Surprisingly, the reality TV couple hasn’t spilled the beans on Twitter yet, but it looks like the little one came just in time. Less than a day ago, Phaedra sent out this tweet which likely helped the pair welcome their new pride and joy into the world safely today.

Congratulations!

From EurWeb

Peter Thomas has not been known to keep his opinions to himself. So why would he hold his tongue after Kenya Moore’s written lashing?

The reality co-star responded to Kenya’s rant about how the men of “RHOA” need to step their game up and act like men.

Kenya took offense with Peter’s aggressive verbal exchange with her in defense of Walter Jackson, Kenya’s ex. Walter wasn’t invited to the reunion show, and Peter decided to take up for his new friend, challenging Kenya on nearly every comment she made about him.

This is just a week of great news now isn’t it? Not just upcoming nuptials but upcoming births too! The Real Housewives of Atlanta star and her good looking hubby told People exclusively that they do indeed have another bun in the oven, the second for the couple, who brought their son Ayden into the world in 2010. She took a picture of her growing baby bump while vacaying in the Bahamas alongside her hubby and with Kandi Burruss and her man Todd, Toya Wright and her man Memphitz, Rasheeda and her man Kirk from Love and Hip Hop Atlanta and more friends and family. After showing off her curves on the show and debuting the fitness DVD Phine Body with Nida, Parks is probably going to take a break from working out that “donkey booty” so hard so that she can sit back and enjoy her pregnancy. And as the picture above shows, she’s glowing already!

And on a random side note, I will say that this pregnancy news isn’t as big of a surprise as I thought it would be for the nosy person in me, seeing as how they’ve received questions about bringing another baby into the world on the show and because while participating in this Bahamian vacation with friends and taking pics (like the one below), I did notice she was hiding in the back of them, and in one she only had her face showing. I thought it was weird, but I didn’t think too deeply into it after the fact. It all makes sense now of course! Well, congratulations are in order for the lovely couple! Phaedra is actually my favorite person on RHOA so I’m glad to see her so happy with her growing family. It’s safe to say that 2013 is going to be an amazing year for them!

Phaedra better pull out her prayer cloth, honey, because a former acquaintance is revealing some deep, dark secrets about her past.

When Phaedra first joined the cast of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, the southern belle’s marriage to “ex-con,” Apollo Nida, was the big scandal in her plot until she dismissed his criminal involvement as a white-collar crime. But now a woman Phaedra supposedly used to run a crime ring with says Apollo isn’t the only one in the family with a criminal past, and she’s exposing all of their secrets in an upcoming memoir, Lies of a Real House Wife: Tell The Truth and Shame The Devil.

Angela Stanton says she first met Phaedra at a party back in 1999 and the two quickly became close friends. They soon became involved in criminal activity as well, making fraudulent insurance checks for more than two years before she and Apollo were caught and locked up. Only doing a short stint, Angela says when she was released, she hooked back up with Phaedra, Apollo, and his brother and they began getting involved in federal racketeering, stealing Porsches, Hummers, and Cadillacs for three or four years and flipping them. Since that’s the charge Apollo reportedly went to prison for, Angela’s story does seem possible. And she also said since Phaedra is an attorney, the agreement was that she would represent her, Apollo, and his brother if they were to ever get caught.

Although Angela was sent to prison for five years for their crimes, and is clearly a little bitter, it’s obvious why she’s choosing to expose
Phaedra now.

If Phaedra was just a regular Atlanta resident rather than a reality TV star, these allegations would’ve never seen the light of day—which is what makes Angela’s detailed account a tad suspect. But now, there’s no telling how many people will pick up this memoir when it’s released in a few days. Sounds like Marlo might not be the only “housewife” with a busted past.

Check out this clip of Angela talking about her criminal past with Phaedra? Do you think there’s any truth to this story or does this woman just want to make a quick buck?
