Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello turned heads at the Creative Arts Emmys on September 5 when they hit the red carpet together, confirming what fans have suspected for months. The pair met while filming season 2 of The Traitors back in 2023, where they bonded over late nights in a Scottish castle trying to figure out who was lying to whom. Now, two years later, a source tells Us Weekly the romance is“the real deal”and that the two are“really smitten with each other.”
CT, a longtime veteran of MTV’s The Challenge, is currently navigating a divorce from estranged wife Catalina White. He filed his own petition in June, and friends say he waited until his marriage was truly over before pursuing anything with Phaedra. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star has reportedly been a positive influence on CT, inspiring him to adopt a healthier lifestyle.“He wants to take care of himself and be healthy for her and for this next chapter,”the source shared.
For now, the couple is keeping things mostly long-distance and have not introduced their families to each other yet. It’s a measured approach that seems to be working for them. What do you think about this pairing? Are these two reality TV powerhouses built to last, or is this just a castle romance that will fade? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
