The 43-year-old "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star announced Wednesday on TMZ's Raq Rants that she and husband Apollo Nida have finalized their divorce more than two years after their initial split.

"It is [final]," she told host Raquel Harper.

"I never say never, but in this case, I don't think [reconciliation] will be a possibility. At the end of the day, we're friends, and we have our kids together, so we'll always be friends. We'll always have a relationship."

Parks and Nida, who share 6-year-old son Ayden and 3-year-old son Dylan, split in October 2014 after nearly five years of marriage.

Nida had started an eight-year prison sentence the month before after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bank fraud.

"At this time, [dating's] not really my top priority," Parks told People magazine.

"My priority is making sure [my kids are] okay. I think dating is in the bright new future, but it's got to be someone who's definitely a really good guy. I can't have crazy at this point in my life."

"It was hard to have such a traumatic, real-life scenario happen all on cameras in front of everybody," she said of her drama with Nida. "But at the end of the day, it not only made me stronger as a woman, but it made me look at life differently. I think I'm better because of it."
