CT Tamburello's Estranged Wife Says No 'Inappropriate Overlap' With Phaedra Parks

Reality TV fans got a whole lot to chew on this week when Catalina White, the estranged wife of“The Challenge”star Chris“CT”Tamburello, cleared the air about his new relationship with Phaedra Parks. White told Page Six she has no reason to believe there was any“inappropriate overlap”between the two, adding that when they met on“The Traitors”Season 2 in fall 2023, they were just friendly. Tamburello and White didn’t marry until a year later. The marriage lasted about three months before White filed for divorce in January, telling the outlet they were simply“not well matched.”

Since then, Parks has confirmed the relationship on“Jeff Lewis Live,”and the couple made a red carpet debut at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys. White’s complaint isn’t about the new romance. It’s about the paperwork. She says the divorce proceedings have dragged on while Tamburello publicly promotes his new relationship, and she’d like him to sign the papers. She also says she’s“having fun”in her“cougar era,”and Parks’ex-husband Apollo Nida has said he’s happy for the new couple, which is about as drama-free as a story like this can get.

So what do you make of it? Was there ever anything to worry about, or is this just two people who figured out fast that they weren’t right for each other? Drop your take in the comments.
