The television personality, 51, appeared at Bravo Fan Fest on Saturday, Nov. 23, where she revealed that she’s currently seeing a younger man. When asked about her dating life during the “Tour de Wives” panel, she described it as “delicious.”

“I’m dating,” she shared, adding, “He’s young. Very early 30s.”

The Traitorsstar also revealed her man will be on both Bravo shows in which Parks appears,Married to MedicineandTheReal Housewives of Atlanta.

But fans shouldn’t expect to see things get too serious just yet. “I like to have fun, I don’t want to be married again,” Parks revealed, who was previously married to Apollo Nida in 2009 before splitting in 2015. They finalized their divorce in 2017.

“[Marriage] isn’t something I’m interested in. I’m very wealthy, I can take care of myself. I like being able to call the shots,” she said. “Women know when you have a husband, sometimes you have to be… nice.”

Parksannounced her return toRHOAin July, andtold PEOPLEa month later that she was waiting until it felt right to go back onto the show. When she began filming with the cast, she described it as “a real welcome home feeling.”

“They called and I answered,” she stated. “We were the No. 1 franchise ofHousewivesand I was a part of making that franchise a successful franchise. And I would love to bring the franchise back to its heyday.”

“I will say this, it’s going to be an amazing season,” she added. “I mean, it will definitely be reminiscent to theHousewivesyou love originally.”

Earlier this month,RHOA’s Baileyshared her feelingsabout Parks' return to the show after leaving in 2017 after season 9 at aTwo Ts in a Podlive podcast event. Explaining that theTraitorsstar 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 calledMarried 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.”
