Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello relationship

Overview

Reality television personalities Phaedra Parks and Chris ‘CT’ Tamburello, who met while filming ‘The Traitors’, have officially confirmed their romantic relationship. Parks announced the news during an appearance on the SiriusXM show ‘Jeff Lewis Live’, clarifying that their appearance at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys was not platonic. While Tamburello previously denied romantic involvement during filming, a source close to the couple now describes them as being “the real deal” and “really smitten with each other,” noting that their connection grew after his marriage ended.

The relationship has drawn public attention due to Tamburello’s ongoing legal marriage. His estranged wife, Catalina White, who filed for divorce in January 2026, has publicly urged Tamburello to “sign the papers” following their separation, noting that settlement issues have reportedly delayed the finalization of the divorce proceedings. White has expressed a desire for Tamburello to apply the same energy to finalizing their marriage as he does to promoting his new relationship so that he can “legally move on.”

Following their red carpet debut at the Creative Arts Emmys on September 5, the couple was also seen together in Fire Island, New York. Parks’ ex-husband, Apollo Nida, has commented on the development, stating that he supports Parks’ happiness provided she and her children are treated well by Tamburello.
