Phaedra Parks had a proud mom moment this month as her son, Ayden, showed up and showed out for Homecoming 2025.
The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star shared photos of her 14-year-old dressed to impress, writing on Instagram, “Proud #Mom moment #Homecoming2025 Prince @ayden.nida did not come to play!”
Parks admitted she missed last year’s homecoming while competing on Dancing with the Stars, but this time, her son made sure she didn’t miss a thing.
“Last year I missed this moment due to #DWTS and my dance partner @valentin watched me cry after our FaceTime because I was so sad! So this year he said, ‘Mom, I want to take my pictures with you,’ and I couldn’t have been happier,” she added.
Fans of the Bravo alum have watched Ayden grow up since his birth on the show’s earlier seasons. The teen recently attended his first Pre-Debutante Cotillion (PDC) dance, also known as a Sadie Hawkins event, in April. It was another special moment Parks proudly shared online.
“Many of you watched me carry this blessing and birth him on television. He has grown up right before your eyes!” she wrote at the time.
Alongside a photo of Ayden and his date, she gushed, “Ayden (the Prince) attended his first #PDC dance aka Sadie Hawkins with the sweetest, most adorable young lady.”
Phaedra, who shares Ayden and 11-year-old Dylan with ex-husband Apollo Nida, has been open about balancing fame with motherhood.
“It hasn’t always been easy because parenting doesn’t come with a handbook,” she previously said. “But GOD has ALWAYS seen me through.”
When not helping her boys to achieve their dreams, Parks loves traveling with them.
Over the summer, she shared photos from a family trip to Hong Kong, writing, “One day they’ll look back and remember the views, the laughs, and the love. Until then, we just keep flying.”
