Phaedra Parks confirms she’s dating ‘Traitors’ co-star Chris ‘CT’ Tamburello
A match made in reality TV heaven.
Phaedra Parks revealed that she’s dating her former “Traitors” co-star Chris “CT” Tamburello.
The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star made the revelation on Thursday’s episode of “Jeff Lewis Live” when the host began questioning Parks about her dating life.
“Are you dating because I heard you were going to the Emmy’s with a date, is this a platonic thing?” Lewis asked.
“No it’s not,” Parks replied, confirming that her beau’s identity is Tamburello and that they’ve been on a few dates before.
“So we’re going to the Emmys,” she continued. “He’s a presenter so I’m his date.”
Lewis continued to press the Bravolebrity about details of their relationship but she continued to play coy.
She did divulge, however, that after being in Los Angeles for the awards show they will be heading back to New York City together.
When a fan called in to question whether Parks and “The Challenge” vet are dating Lewis interjected, saying, “I can confirm it because I see him right outside the studio.”
Tamburello later proved he was on set by posting a behind-the-scenes video of Parks on the radio show to his Instagram Story.
“…’bout to leave to pick up bae,” he captioned an upload of his van, referring to Parks.
Tamburello, 46, and Parks, 52, appeared on “Traitors” Season 2 together in 2024 and immediately became fan-favorites. The “Real World” alum, notably, won the series while Parks was one of the secret traitors and was banished by their castmates.
The duo charmed viewers with their flirty banter and close bond throughout the series.
Last month, Tamburello tried to shoot his shot with Parks via Instagram — which apparently turned out to be successful.
At the time, he reposted a picture of Parks at the “RHOA” Season 17 reunion and wrote, “Anyone want to throw in a good word for me!? Still looking for a +1 to the Emmy’s. A man can dream 😏.”
“Baby I’m already yours 😍🔥😘,” Parks cheekily commented on the post.
Both of the reality stars have had their love lives play out in the public eye over the years.
Parks married her ex-husband, Apollo Nida, in 2009 and they share two sons: Ayden, 16, and Dylan, 13.
Their marriage troubles and Nida’s legal woes all played out on “RHOA.” Nida, notably, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bank fraud in May 2014.
The former couple finalized their divorce in July 2017 after nearly eight years of marriage and Nida completed his prison sentence in June 2019.
Parks then moved on with boyfriend Medina Islam that same year and the were together for three years until their 2021 split.
As for Tamburello, his showmance with Parks is not his first. He shared a famous on-again, off-again, romance with his “Challenge” co-star Diem Brown from 2006 until her tragic passing in 2014 after a cancer battle.
Five days before her passing, Tamburello proposed to Brown his longtime love’s hospital room at NYU Langone Medical Center.
He welcomed his now 10-year-old son Christopher “C.J.” with Lilianet “Lili” Solares in 2016, though Tamburello didn’t publicly reveal he became a father until the following year.
Tamburello and Solares tied the knot in 2018 and split in 2022.
In 2024, he moved on with OnlyFans model Catalina Hager, and the two got married in October of that year. She filed for divorce in April, stating in the filing that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
