Boys Boys Boys

Congratulations to The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks, who gave birth to her second son on Wednesday. Her rep told Us Weekly that the baby is healthy and is 7 pounds, 9 ounces. This is her second child with her husband, Apollo Nida. Her first-born, Ayden, is 2 years old.

“Ideally I’d like three kids, but I don’t know if my poor uterus can take it,” Phaedra told Us Weekly.

“Cause I’m not a Beverly Hills wife,” she said. “I’m from England, as you all probably know, and I consider myself a very down-to-earth, girl next door, so I just wouldn’t fit into that.”

As for Lisa Rinna, she told E! News, “Basically, that was never gonna happen. It was interesting to watch happen without my knowledge.”

Looks like we’re back to the drawing board for new Beverly Hills housewives.
