Catalina White, the estranged wife of reality TV star Chris“CT”Tamburello, is speaking out about his new relationship with Phaedra Parks. In a statement to Page Six, White said she has no reason to believe there was any“inappropriate overlap”between the two, despite the fact that Tamburello and Parks met on“The Traitors”Season 2 back in fall 2023, a full year before he and White got married.
White filed for divorce in January, just three months after the wedding. She described the pair as“not well matched”and said she’s simply ready to move forward. Parks confirmed the relationship on“Jeff Lewis Live”and made a red carpet debut with Tamburello at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmy Awards. An insider claims Tamburello“fell for”Parks during filming, though a source close to the situation says the relationship didn’t develop until after the marriage ended.
The whole saga brings together two major reality TV franchises,“The Challenge”and“The Real Housewives of Atlanta,”and White isn’t letting it slow her down. She told Page Six she’s“having fun in her cougar era”and just wants Tamburello to sign the divorce papers. What do you think about the timeline here? Is White taking the high road, or is there more to the story?
