Phaedra Parks Confirmed Her Romance With CT Tamburello Recently
Phaedra Parks confirmed her relationship with CT Tamburello last week.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star confirmed her relationship with Tamburello during her appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live segment last Thursday, September 3.
“Are you dating because I heard you were going to the Emmys with a date? Is this a platonic thing?” Lewis asked the reality TV star.
“No, it's not…platonic,” she replied.
She confirmed that they'd been dating for a short while.
“So we’re going to the Emmys. He’s a presenter, so I’m his date,” she admitted.
The couple made their red carpet debut last Saturday, September 5, while attending the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys.
Apollo Nida said he won't be an 'a------' to CT Tamburello if they ever have to spend time together.
Tamburello, meanwhile, is still married to his estranged wife, Catalina White.
While White reportedly filed for divorce in January, she alleged that The Real World alum has been dragging his feet about finalizing their divorce.
Nida noted to TMZ that Tamburello’s legally married status doesn't really bother him as long as he's “transparent” with Parks.
He also mentioned that he isn't opposed to spending time with his ex-wife's new man, if the opportunity ever came up.
“I'm not gonna be an a--------,” he said.
