Phaedra Parks Calls Her Dating Life ‘Delicious’ as She Teases Her Younger Man Will Be on Married to Medicine and RHOA

Porsha Williams will also be returning to the franchise after a brief two-season break, and Parks said she was excited to reunite with her friend. “Of course, I love Porsha,” Parks told PEOPLE. “We are the original frick and frack.”

The season 16 cast will also include Drew Sidora, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, Brittany Eady and Angela Oakley. Cynthia Bailey will appear as a friend.

Earlier this month, RHOA‘s Bailey shared her feelings about Parks’ return to the show after leaving in 2017 after season 9 at a Two Ts in a Pod live podcast event. Explaining that the Traitors star rejoined the cast with just two weeks left of filming, Bailey said she was impressed with Parks’ immersion into the group.

“She was on another Bravo show called Married 2 Medicine,” the Bravolebrity said of Parks. “She got the call and was like ‘I’m outta here!’ It was just amazing because I’ve never seen in the history of the show — with any franchise — a Housewife, or past Housewife, whatever you want to call it, come back with literally two weeks left and come back as a full Housewife with a full red peach in her hand.”

“I know she comes with us for our last international trip,” Bailey revealed, adding that she was unsure how producers would incorporate her into the rest of the season. “We got a lot done. I will say Phaedra definitely did her thing in the two weeks that she had. The season finale… this is her season.”

Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta does not have a premiere date yet. Previous seasons can be streamed on Peacock.
