Phaedra Parks Confirms Romance with CT Tamburello

Reality television star Phaedra Parks has publicly acknowledged her romantic relationship with CT Tamburello, ending speculation that has followed the pair since their on-screen chemistry became apparent to viewers.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta personality made the announcement during a Friday appearance on Jeff Lewis' radio program, where she disclosed that she and the longtime Challenge competitor are indeed dating. Parks confirmed the couple has spent time together on dates, though she declined to specify the duration of their relationship or the exact number of outings they have shared.

The connection between Parks and Tamburello originated during production of The Traitors Season 2 in 2023. When the season premiered in 2024, audiences immediately noticed the rapport between the two reality television veterans, sparking widespread discussion about a potential romance.

Parks revealed that Tamburello will have her as his companion at this weekend's Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles, where he is scheduled to serve as a presenter. Following the awards event, the couple plans to travel together to New York, where Parks has arrangements on Fire Island.

Tamburello's relationship status has undergone significant changes in recent years. He married Catalina White, an OnlyFans content creator, in October 2024, but the marriage ended in January. Their divorce proceedings remain ongoing and have not reached finalization. Prior to that union, Tamburello was married to Lilianet Solares, with whom he shares a son. That divorce was finalized in November 2023.

The confirmation marks a new chapter for Parks, who has maintained a prominent presence in reality television through her work on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and other Bravo programming. Tamburello has built a lengthy career as one of The Challenge's most recognizable competitors across multiple seasons of the MTV competition series.
