Phaedra Parks & CT Tamburello: From TV Rivals to Real Romance!

Phaedra Parks has revealed that her romance with CT Tamburello is "going great." The 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' alum, 52, confirmed her relationship with 'The Challenge' star, 46, exclusively to PEOPLE. They first competed together on season 2 of Peacock's 'The Traitors,' which aired in 2024. Their public acknowledgment began on Jeff Lewis' SiriusXM show, where Parks confirmed Tamburello would be her date to the Creative Arts Emmys. The pair later made their official red carpet debut at the event, with Parks sharing a celebratory post calling Tamburello "the real trophy."

Fans first noticed their chemistry when they exchanged flirty messages on Instagram in early August. Tamburello had sought an Emmy's plus-one, to which Parks responded, "Baby I'm already yours." Their relationship marks a new chapter for both, as Parks was previously married to Apollo Nida from 2009 to 2015, and Tamburello has gone through recent divorce proceedings with Catalina White and previously with Lilianet Solares.
