Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida appear to be headed for divorce.
According to a new report, the Real Housewives of Atlanta couple recently spent nearly 100 days apart, and when Nida arrived to court to face his sentencing for fraud, Parks was no where to be seen.
"Parks was a no-show at her husband’s sentencing yesterday, though his mother and brother made tearful declarations to the court," Radar Online reported on July 9.
Prior to Nida's fraud trial, during which he received an eight-year sentence, Parks jetted off to Mexico for former American Idol contestant Fantasia Barrino's birthday celebration. While the party was primarily attended by women, Parks' Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star, Kandi Burruss, brought along her new husband, Todd Tucker.
On July 4, Nida spoke to Radar Online about his marriage, telling the site, “We’re cool. Everything’s good. We’re working to make it better.”
On July 8, Nida appeared in court, where he addressed charges of identity theft and fraud, which were brought against him in Jan. 2014. Months after the charges were filed, Nida entered a guilty plea, and on Tuesday, he received his sentencing.
"Nida created fake companies, enabling him to access databases to find individuals to rip off," read a written affidavit in regard to the charges. "He opened fake bank accounts under those real names and funneled stolen U.S. Treasury checks and auto loan proceeds into those accounts."
In addition, Nida reportedly opened a fake auto dealership and applied for auto loans in the names of stolen identities.
