Reality TV stars Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello have confirmed they are dating, nearly two years after meeting on Season 2 of The Traitors. The couple made their red-carpet debut together at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 5, where Parks publicly called Tamburello her "prize." US Magazine reported they have been maintaining a long-distance relationship since the show filmed in 2023.
Parks, a former Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member, had previously described her connection with Tamburello as flirtatious but not romantic. However, she later told Jeff Lewis Live that the relationship was "not platonic." The pair were spotted together in Fire Island, New York, and at Los Angeles International Airport, signaling their romance has moved beyond friendly chemistry.
From The Traitors to Real-Life Romance
Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello met while filming Season 2 of Peacock's hit reality show The Traitors in 2023. Tri-City Herald confirmed the pair have now transitioned from on-screen chemistry to a genuine long-distance relationship. Their connection remained largely private for over a year before they decided to go public with their romance at the Emmy Awards.
Parks was coy about the relationship's seriousness in early interviews. She appeared at Fire Island, New York, where she and Tamburello were seen cozying up at The Tryst Pool Club's "Hot Tub Games" event. Tamburello kissed Parks on the cheek during the outing, further confirming their relationship status to onlookers and paparazzi.
Ex-Spouses Weigh In on the New Couple
Apollo Nida, Parks' ex-husband, expressed support for the relationship, saying he approves as long as Tamburello treats Parks and their children well. His blessing comes as the former Real Housewife navigates a new chapter after rejoining the Atlanta franchise in 2025 following two seasons on Married to Medicine.
CT Tamburello's estranged wife, Catalina White, took a different approach. She urged Tamburello to finalize their divorce, saying he should devote as much effort to ending their marriage as he has to promoting his new relationship. White filed for divorce in January but said she felt pressured to withdraw the case before Tamburello filed himself.
