Apollo Nida, who is in federal prison for eight years bank fraud and ID theft, is engaged to get married to a woman to be named later, according to TMZ.

Citing sources close to the production of "Real Housewives of Atlanta," TMZ said he and the mystery fiance will be on the show later in the season although given the fact he's in prison, he will be limited to phone calls.

UPDATE: RadarOnline figured out who it was: Sherien Almufti, a New Jersey real estate agent originally from Jordan.

Nida is currently at Fort Dix in New Jersey, the same prison as "Real Housewives of New Jersey" felon Joe Guidice, who is in prison for three years over fraud.

Phaedra Parks has said she and Nida are now divorced though nobody has seen the paperwork to back that up. They were married in 2009 and have two kids, Ayden 6, and Dylan, 3.
