Apollo Nida is coming home earlier than expected.

The ex-husband of former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Phaedra Parks has had his prison sentence reduced by a full 12 months, according to The Blast.

“The defendant’s sentence is hereby reduced to 84 months of imprisonment with credit to be given by the Bureau of Prisons for all time served,” read court documents. “All other terms of the sentence imposed by this court on July 8, 2014, shall remain unaffected by this order.”

Instead of serving 96 months for various fraud charges, Nida, 40, will now serve 84, making his scheduled release date sometime in August 2020.

In 2014, after pleading guilty to federal fraud charges that include conspiring to commit mail, wire and bank fraud, the reality star was sentenced to eight years in prison. In addition, he was ordered to pay restitution to the victims of his crimes totally $2.3 million.

Upon his release next year, Nida will find himself in a different world.

His divorce to 45-year-old Parks, with whom he shares two sons, was finalized in July 2017 after several failed attempts to get it signed off by a judge.

She has since moved on and is dating Chicago radio DJ Tone Kapone.

Nida has also found love from the inside. In 2016, Nida got engaged to a real estate investor named Sherien Almufti.
