Phaedra Parks' journey on “Dancing With the Stars” has come to an end.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star and her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy were eliminated after dancing a jazz number to “Cruella de Vil” from “101 Dalmatians” at Disney Night on Tuesday.

“I didn’t feel guilty,” Parks, 50, told Page Six exclusively in the ballroom after the show. “I think everything happens at its right time. I mean, I’m glad I got to do the show.”

The reality TV icon noted that the dance competition series was a “huge sacrifice” for her and her family. In addition to spending time away from her two children, Parks also had to put her other projects on hold so she could “fully dedicate herself to the show.”

“I had a wonderful time,” she exclaimed, “but all good things must come to an end.”

Parks has starred in a variety of reality TV shows over the years — including “Traitors” and “RHOA” — but she told us that “Dancing With the Stars” was by far the “toughest” show to be on she took part.

Parks told Us that she “doesn't feel bad” about being eliminated from the dance competition show. Page six

“It's hands down the hardest show I've ever done because it's so physically demanding,” she explained. “I'm used to doing shows where I use my mind and my personality, but in this show you have to use your legs and arms and move very, very quickly.”

Parks told Page Six that while she didn't emerge with the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, she still feels successful thanks to all the support she's received from her parents, children and fans every week voted for them.

Chmerkovskiy, 38, shared that sentiment while also raving about the great partnership he and Parks formed during the dance competition show's 33rd season.

Chmerkovskiy also raved about how much “fun” he had working with Parks over the past few months. Page six

“I had a lot of fun,” he told us. “She's so funny and so down to earth, and I enjoyed working with someone who has achieved so much and yet is so warm and humble. You can be great, you can be successful, and you can be kind at the same time.”

What will Parks miss most from her “DWTS” journey? The reality star told us that the entire team, from casting to production, was an absolute “amazing effort” and “just absolute perfection.”

Before their elimination, Parks and Chmerkovskiy danced to countless dances – including a rock 'n' roll-style paso doble, a heartfelt rumba and a soulful quickstep.

They also participated in a group dance on Tuesday night, which marked Parks' final performance on the show before elimination. Disney

Luckily for fans, they won't have to wait much longer to see Parks back on their television screens. She appears on the new season of “Married to Medicine,” premiering November 24 on Bravo, along with the upcoming season of “RHOA.”

Meanwhile, the seven remaining “DWTS” couples — Danny Amendola and Witney Carson, Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber, Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach, Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, and Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold — are returning next week in the ballroom for the highly anticipated episode, “Halloween Nightmares.”

“Dancing With the Stars” airs Tuesdays at 8pm ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
