Chris “CT” Tamburello‘s estranged wife, Catalina White, is slamming the veteran reality star over their divorce amid his new relationship with Phaedra Parks.

Her statement comes just days after Parks admitted she’d coupled up with the 46-year-old two years after their run on Peacock’s “The Traitors.”

CT’s Estranged Wife Gets Messy Amid New Romance With Phaedra Parks

Speaking with TMZ, White said Tamburello, who rose to fame in 2003 on “The Real World: Paris” and later became a mainstay on MTV’s “The Challenge,” has been avoiding moving forward with their divorce amid his new relationship with Parks.

“I genuinely wish Chris well in whatever relationship or career he chooses to pursue. I’m not interested in commenting on whether his new relationship is real, for publicity, or anything in between,” said White. “What I would like is for him to put the same energy into ending our marriage that he’s putting into publicly promoting his new relationship.”

White Filed For Divorce From CT In January 2026

White filed for divorce in January 2026 after less than two years of marriage, according to another report from TMZ. White, who reportedly gained her following from promoting herself on a subscription-based website, said that her marriage to Tamburello was “irretrievably broken.”

In September 2026, White claimed she withdrew her divorce petition after feeling forced by Tamburello, only for the “Challenge” OG to file his own and allegedly stall the process.

“Since then, I’ve been trying to finalize this divorce,” White stated. “My counsel has made repeated efforts to move things forward as quickly as possible, and we continue to wait for his cooperation.”

White Says She Doesn’t Want Money From Chris “CT” Tamburello

White is hoping to resolve her personal issues with Tamburello sooner rather than later. She also shot back at haters and said she isn’t interested in taking any of Tamburello’s money.

“I do not, and never did, need or want money from this man,” she said. “I’m not asking for anything from him other than his cooperation in finalizing our divorce.”

She added, “If Chris is ready to move on publicly, he should be ready to move on too legally. Sign the papers!”

White echoed that message in an Instagram post confirming Tamburello’s new romance with Parks, adding clapping emojis to emphasize her point.

White’s statement about Tamburello comes days after Parks confirmed to Jeff Lewis that her relationship with the MTV veteran was romantic. She told the “Still Flipping Out” star that she was attending the Creative Emmys with Tamburello as his date.

The pair teased their connection a month earlier, according to Complex, when Tamburello asked his Instagram followers to put in “a good word” for him with Parks. “Baby, I’m already yours,” she replied.

While their connection may catch some people by surprise, Parks and Tamburello first turned heads in January 2024 when their connection and flirty interactions became a major storyline in season 2 of “The Traitors.”

While the Bravoverse waits for Parks and Tamburello’s “Traitors” co-stars to react to the news, one person from the fan-favorite reality show commented on their connection back in 2024.

Alan Cumming, host of the Emmy Award-winning competition series, spoke with PEOPLE and said that he didn’t believe there was “much of a chance” for Parks and Tamburello.

“These people are put into this incredibly emotional and mind-screwy situation, and they’re in this bubble. They don’t have really access to the outside world,” he said. “Of course they’re going to become really emotionally involved with each other.”
