Apollo Nida, the imprisoned husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks, has made a plea to get his sons to visit him while in prison, according to a report this week.

Nida started his eight-year prison term a few months ago after he was convicted of fraud. Since then, Parks has said she won’t let their two children--Dylan and Ayden--see him while he’s locked up, although reports say they talk to him on the phone regularly.

But a source close to the matter said, “[Apollo] asked Peter [Thomas] to tell his children that their father loves them and that he can’t wait to be home one day and play football with them,” reported HollywoodLife.

“He got a little chocked up on the phone and told Peter to make sure he tells his boys that because Phaedra won’t bring them there and she doesn’t pick up the phone,” the insider added.
