Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks has announced she's pregnant with her second child - and she has the bump to prove it.

The 40-year-old proudly showed off her new curves on a recent holiday in the Bahamas with her husband Apollo Nida.

The Bravo star, who has confirmed to People magazine that she's expecting her second child in the spring, was seen cavorting on the sand wearing a sexy sheer black bathing suit with halter top and peek-a-boo cleavage.

Baby joy! Phaedra Parks is thrilled to be expecting her second child with her husband, Apollo Nida, and flaunted her growing pregnancy bump while on holiday in the Bahamas

Phaedra was prettily made up and had her hair pulled back at the sides to cascade down her back in tight curls.

Even on an island vacation, Phaedra didn't forget to accessorise with drop earrings and plenty of bangles.

The Atlanta entertainment lawyer and her personal trainer husband have been married since 2009 and live in the city's historic Vinings area.

So cute together: Phaedra and Apollo, pictured attending Cirque du Soleil TOTEM premiere in Atlanta, Georgia, have been wed three years and are already parents to two-year-old Ayden

They welcomed their first child, son Ayden, the following year.

Phaedra and Apollo's relationship has been a hot topic in recent episodes of her hit Bravo show.

Her co-star Kenya Moore was filmed openly flirting with Apollo, much to his wife's annoyance.

Phaedra said: 'I thought it was very distasteful and very inappropriate, but that’s who she is. You can’t make a loose woman a lady.'

And on Sunday's show, Cynthia Bailey's husband Peter Thomas reveals he had seen on a blog that the couple were getting a divorce.

But Phaedra laughed off the gossip and insisted her marriage to Apollo is on track.

The couple have just released their first fitness DVD, Phine Body, on Amazon.

Bring it on: Phaedra's pregnancy is sure to keep things interesting on The Real Housewives of Atlanta; here the mom-to-be joined Kandi Burruss, NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey at the Bravo Upfront in New York on April 4

When she says she lives in Vinings (an "exclusive" area), don't believe her! She lives in Smyrna. Everyone in Smyrna says that they live in Vinings, but they don't.

Don't like her at all. She's all about show. She's a little sick woman who grabbed this guy just out prison. Being layer I guess it was pretty easy, I just want to know how they got all that money? Maybe she's been pimped him ever since , I'd believe it.
