Today when I logged in to Tamara Tattles, I noticed a big increase in page views. When you blog on WordPress there is a little bar chart at the top of the screen that shows the fluctuations in readership over the past 48 hours. Most of the time things are steady and the chart looks like a little rolling hill. Today there was a big spike. So I went to check to see what post or posts were blowing up on my site and what the top search items are.
There is a sudden interest in this post about Phaedra and Apollo back in April. The post was made just a couple of weeks before Phaedra gave birth to her second son. At that time one of my readers was at the Atlantis Hotel and Casino in Nassau and Apollo was there enjoying himself without Phaedra. Meanwhile, Phaedra was home, on bed rest with a toddler. It just didn’t seem like the couple was on the same page. There have always been rumors of Apollo being unfaithful. Even on the show the relationship seems forced and not very genuine.
I have done a quick online search and see no news of a divorce, but it does seem odd that all of my top search terms for today include Apollo, Phaedra and divorce. Has there been an announcement that I missed? Is this the reason we haven’t named the baby and paraded it on the tabloids to make a quick buck? Something is going on. I hope the baby is healthy and the marriage survives but there sure is a lot of smoke…despite me being unable to locate the fire.
I had started to wonder why everyone was so quiet after the delivery. Usually Kandi posts pics or tweets things about Phaedra and we didn’t hear anything from Kandi or Phaedra after the birth. Plus reality stars usually like extending their 15mins of fame. I was waiting for pictures and a story to appear in OK or one of the other mags.
It has been pretty quiet since the baby was born. I haven’t even heard his name yet. Also, word on the street is Cynthia is pregnant now.
yeah just read that as well…
What….if that is true, what are they thinking? They are both…older…What will Cynthia and Peter do with a baby?
How old is Cynthia? I am 44 and could not imagine getting pregnant at this age. My grandmother had my dad at 47, she was exhausted and kind of a medical miracle.
My parents were 43 when I was born. Reconciliation baby.
Exactly what I mean, and yes Cynthia is around that age. The age, and where they are in their life right now, I just can’t imagine them trying to have a baby. Peter has to be in his 50s. And I thought he had a bunch of kids already?
Cynthia is not pregnant. She has some type of medical condition.
Hum, wishing Phaedra the best in this one.
I wish them the best. I forgot she had the baby already! Hard to believe his name hasnt been announced and even harder to believe that Apollo was out on the town when she was on bedrest.
This is just really weird. Traffic is super high for Phaedra divorce stuff. But there is nothing out there. Why is everyone suddenly searching this?
Maybe there is something wrong with the baby?? God forbid but maybe that is what it is.
I don’t even want to think that. But word about town was that Phaedra was having a very rough pregnancy this time and she was on bedrest. I find it very odd that the name has not been announced and even weirder that Phaedra hasn’t put his picture in every magazine that offers a dollar. Something is going on and NONE of the possibilities are good for our Phaedra. 🙁
True and NO SPOILERS but I was doing some research and every article mentions Phaedra and BABY, no Apollo. Not a thing. And remember when she was on Roble a few weeks ago, no mention of the baby at that time either and no Apollo. Cannot recall if she had wedding ring on or not.
That Roble episode was filmed way back in September… http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2012/09/05/phaedra-parks-throws-a-couples-dinner-for-kandi-and-todd/
WHEW! Thank you for that. I love Phaedra, she should have all of the best!
I think they are separated and they just won’t do the divorce thing.
I don’t remember where I read it, but there was a blind about a reality husband who wasn’t being faithful. That could be the reason.
Might be a question to ask for WWHL? Who is on tonight?
If it weren’t for the reality TV shit, these two would probably still be married. That is, of course, if rumors of a divorce are not true. But I believe it. That’s exactly what reality TV fame does to people; goes to their heads and makes them feel invincible — and special. When the newsflash is: they are not invincible and certainly not special.
Noooo if it wasn’t for Phaedra getting pregnant with Ayden they would never have gotten married.
If anything, the reality show kept Apollo on board. Seems like he’s usually a fight and flight kind of guy.
I like Phaedra and I like Apollo, but not necessarily together. They were such an odd couple. It has to be emasculating to be a kept man, which is what he seemed to be to me.
I hope everything is okay with the baby. There has not been anything about them since the Bahamas.
I certainly hope that all is okay in the Parks/Nida household. Here is a video clip of Phaedra and Apollo that aired in early June, on HLN Showbiz Tonight before their second child was born. They seem to be okay.

Knowing how sharp Phaedra is and how she orchestrates all her PR to be well timed to her advantage, I wonder if the “quiet” is a deliberate strategy to have people hungry for info and then when her new spin off airs……..all flock to watch because they need their Phaedra fix. I love her as a mix of crazy funny and absurd as hell on occasion. And let’s not forget her “everybody knows……”
As for Apollo being on his own while she was on bedrest, wonder if that is again part of the plan to promote his “career” in modeling, public appearances or whatever. Phaedra is very savvy money wise as I also believe Apollo is so I sort of believe every move this couple makes is calculated to build their equity.
They look really good together! He is a brave man for putting himself out there. I hope they make it and that the baby is healthy!
Okay, how is this for a plausible explanation? My board stats are also unusually high from the UK today. Maybe a show aired in the UK that was from when they made it look like Apollo and Phaedra were having troubles last season and it’s a bunch of Brits coming over to read up on last season’s stuff.
God Save the Queen and Pass the Spotted Dick. 🙂
What was in your little blue box??? Dying to know!
The episodes that suggest Paedra and Apollo are having marital problems are currently being aired over here in the UK, so I’m sure that’s what all the sudden “are they getting divorced” hype is coming from.. don’t worry world, its just us Brits catching up!

God Save the Queen and Pass the Spotted Dick. __
is that a british phrase/colloquialism ?
yes god save the queen is just that, “god save the queen” and spotted dick is a dish/food in the U.K.
@ moi ; o ok. so what do tho sayings mean? was the queen in danger at one point ?
what is spooted dick/ i have heard of fish and chips(fish and potatoes).
You’ve seriously never heard the phrase God Save the Queen?
yes i seriously havent. i ‘m not into brit culture. queen and adele are only uk artists i listen to. yes i do know of others(beatles,take that, spice girls,coldplay) but i dont really check for them.
God Save the Queen (or King when it is applicable is the national anthem of England and some other countries that were once or still are British territories.
Spotted dick is a pudding. The spots are raisins. I just like to say spotted dick because I have the humor of a six year old. 🙂 heh spotted dick.
Is it Phaedra and Apollo’s turn to go through the manufactured drama for the cameras? Nene is getting “married”.. again.
Again Phaedra dated Dr. Greg from “Married to Medicine” fame. Not sure what the deal is, but the contracts are signed. I just take it all as a big soap opera plot.
Im from the uk weve just seen last season, i hope kenya gets what coming to her the weirdo!
I’m from the UK and the episode where you see the “what happens next” says about them getting a divorce. The actual episode airs later today so that may explain the sudden surge?
It’s because an episode of the real housewives aired in England yesterday where at the end they talked about a rumour of Phaedra Apollo divorce.
Hi, we are watching this right now in the UK….we had the trailer for Apollo and Phaedra to divorce in yesterday’s episode… I think we a a season behind!!!
The episodes of RHWOA are only just being aired in the UK, yesterday. It showed clips of Apollo talking about divorce so that’s why there’s a sudden interest.
well hello there, what can i say i am a UK fan of your blog since i found you i can’t stay away – (got hooked learning about the sheree drama and just stuck around), and yes i can confirm in the UK we saw the trip to anguilla yesterday and at the end of the show when they said what was coming up, they showed something about apolla and phaedra. its on later today. i thought i was the only peron across this side of the pond watching but maybe not…… so there you go. btw loving your work tamara.
The UK is only just airing the Anguilla trip, and the spoiler at the end of yesterday’s programme has a clip of Peter saying there is a story on the internet the phaedra and Apollo are getting divorced. That’s probably sparked the interest.
Does ANYBODY think Apollo isn’t having affairs?Phaedra isn’t a fool,but doesn’t want to be humiliated on national T.V.Let’s face it,she put a respectable face on her “gangsta”and expects him to straighten up and fly right.Ain’t gonna happen!He’s her “trophy husband”and she’s his “sugar mama”.That plain to see,at least for me!
Hi uk is viewing episode of housewives of Atlanta they are discussing phadrea & apollos relationship xx
I bet all the traffic is from the UK, where the episode where Peter teases Apollo and Phaedra about Internet rumours regarding the demise of their marriage just aired!!
Its probably down to the show just airing in the uk. Thats why I Googled and hence found this page!
As far as I know they have not even mentioned the new babies name on their twitter accounts. Michelle from SFTA is a good friend of Phaedra and usually does favorable stories about Phaedra and Kandi. She has not done any stories on Phaedra of late.
I, for one, am glad the UK being behind in watching the RHOA is probably the reason there has been so much talk the last couple of days about Phaedra and Apollo getting a divorce. Guess it’s a good thing as it keeps them in the news. Strange, though, that she had not revealed the name of her baby yet. Even Kim and Kanye West have shared the name of their baby…Kaidence Donda…I think that’s how it’s spelled.
I have no confirmation that is the baby’s name. I believe I heard that on WW and she said it was from Media Fake Out which is ALL LIES ALL THE TIME except when they steal materials from real bloggers.
Meanwhile, I am thrilled that we are having a British Invasion and hope everyone sticks around!
I had also heard that Kim and Kanye were naming their baby daughter Kaidence Donda. Then I heard the name was going to be Klementine , and then I heard Kai. Apparently Kanye is partial to the name Khrist! (Christ…. you’ve got to be kidding!)
Oh my, my on him being partial to Khrist!!
I had no doubt Kim would stay with K for the baby’s name. I am surprised they did not have her middle name start with a K. I do wonder where they came up with Donda! It’s different and a little odd but maybe it’s in honor of someone in their life.
Kanye’s late mothers name is Donda.
Kai (pronounced Ky) is a Welsh boy’s name. It means keeper of the keys. maybe they’ll pronounce it ‘Kay’ in the English way?
Since Kayne named himself Yeesus lately… nothing would surprise me….EXCEPT ONE THING the baby being named Kaidence Donda. MEDIA FAKEOUT JUST MAKES SHIT UP. THEY HAVE NO SOURCES.
Several websites are now reporting that Kim & Kanye have decided on the name “North” for their baby daughter. No middle name – so she will simply be known as North West! (Nori as a nickname) Hey, you just can’t make this stuff up ~ no confirmation, as of yet, from Kim & Kanye, so who knows!
North was mentioned before the sex of the baby was known as a potential boy’s name. Strange we are hearing this rumor again. There is no telling with these two.
I think it’s being searched a lot possibly because the show is being aired in the UK at the moment, not sure if its the first time over here but thats why I googled it anyway!
I am so excited you guys are all here! I’m an Atlanta local with the tea on all the RHOA. Spread the word! 🙂
Us Brits have been hare all the time following, laughing and sympathizing with you through it all. I just keep quiet and entertained. I especially enjoy your brand of wit so you been on my book mark since season 4 or 3. Keep blessed and keep on doing what you do.
Thanks Vixen. I do have a really big following in the UK it just got insane at the same time the Phaedra stuff did. I am glad you are here! You should comment more often. 90% of us are nice and the rest are like me. Sorry for the delay in moderation. I am currently in Curacao. 🙂
I think you’re right Rachel. The spike in the number of hits is probably because there episode recently aired here in the UK. As a former Spelmanite now living in the UK, the series makes me feel weirdly nostalgic. Plus I absolutely love Phaedra!
The British are coming, the British are coming! … in my best Paul Revere
I searched for this because it the uk it is just airing series 5. There is talk about divorce on one of the episodes.
