Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta“ star Claudia Jordan recently stated that one of the show’s current cast members had revealed their pregnancy at the yet-to-be-aired season 17 reunion. Now, while teasing the upcoming episodes, Phaedra Parks may have confirmed that Jordan’s comments were true.
Regarding Jordan, the actress and reality star appeared on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” for its seventh season. She announced her departure from the series in June 2025. Since then, she has expressed an openness to returning to the show and even appeared in an episode from the current season.

While on, the hosts asked the 52-year-old about the reunion, and she confirmed that the cast had already filmed the sit-down special. According to her in the clip, “We did the reunion last week.”
When asked what fans can expect, the “RHOA” star wasted no time, saying, “Bombshell announcements,” before saying that she “cannot speak on it.” Regarding the reunion, Parks then said, “But of course, a lot of screaming. A little bit of crying.”
After that, her commentary returned to the revelations fans can expect, saying, “It’s some very interesting announcements. She was then asked if she left the reunion “unscathed.”
Parks responded, “I believe so.” The hosts went on to note that the “RHOA” star “always rise[s] above.” She stated, “I try to. I’m a phoenix.”

Here’s What Claudia Jordan Said About The ‘RHOA’ Star Being Pregnant
Jordan made her initial comments about learning that a current “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member was pregnant while on Carlos King’s live YouTube show in June 2026. After receiving backlash, she then appeared again in July and added more details about how she learned the information.
According to her, the woman in question revealed the news at the reunion filming. From there, someone who happened to be on the set gave her the information. Jordan stated that it was not a person from the cast nor from the production crew.
She stated, “It was said in front of like 100 people- cast, crew, production, all kinds of people.” In defending herself against the backlash she received, Jordan claimed, “Clearly, if they’re saying it on set of a reunion where a million people are going to watch it, they wanted people to know.”
Phaedra Parks Recently Gave An Update On Her Son
Parks’ two sons have been featured on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” several times since she joined in its third season. Notably, she was pregnant with her oldest, Ayden, also known as “The Prince,” during her first season.
She took to Instagram in May 2026 to share that he’d begun running track and revealed that his team had won the state championship. According to her, “In January, @ayden.nida decided he wanted to run track. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how it would end because he moves slow every time I ask him to go run and get me something.”
She added, “But when it comes to my sons, I’m always supportive.” After that, Parks mentioned her ex-husband, Apollo Nida, the father of her two sons. She said, “Between me and his dad screaming from the stands, Ayden started running like somebody was chasing him.”
