Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello are officially moving into a new chapter, and the timing could not be more notable. CT has settled his divorce from Catalina White, clearing the way for the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star and “The Challenge” veteran to carry on their romance without a pending marriage hanging over it.
According to TMZ, the settlement was signed by both parties on October 13th, and each agreed to waive the right to collect spousal support. CT will keep his four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Cutler Bay, Florida, which is reportedly worth around $600,000, along with all the cars in his possession. Catalina will keep her $1 million home in Tampa, a 2023 Ford Bronco and all rights to her business. The two also reached a separate confidential deal covering their intellectual property and digital assets, and they will keep their own checking, savings, and retirement accounts. They married on October 15, 2024, in Key Largo, Florida, and both cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
Phaedra Parks And CT’s Relationship Heats Up Amidst His Divorce
The divorce settlement lands as the couple continues to generate buzz. During Bravo Fan Fest 2026 in Charleston, South Carolina, on October 24th, “RHOA” star Porsha Williams was asked whether she had met Phaedra’s new man during the “Andy’s Housewives History Lesson” panel. “CT and I, we’ve [texted] before concerning Phaedra, certain surprises,” she said before adding, “I’m keeping it a surprise.” Porsha stayed tight-lipped about any double dates with her girlfriend, Patrice “Sway” McKinney, but said the pair has “a very genuine, beautiful friendship that’s blooming,” adding, “I think it’s gonna be something special.”
Fellow “RHOA” cast member Angela Oakley also gave the couple her vote of confidence at the event’s “#NoFilter” panel. “I think Phaedra and CT are the real deal!” she said, though she admitted she hadn’t met CT yet.
Phaedra and CT first met while competing on Season 2 of Peacock’s “The Traitors,” where Phaedra affectionately nicknamed him “castle daddy.” As previously reported, they didn’t go public until September, when Phaedra confirmed on Jeff Lewis Live on SiriusXM that they were more than friends. “It’s not,” she said when asked if their connection was purely platonic. They made their red carpet debut at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 5th, and the following day Phaedra shared photos on Instagram with the caption, “Some came for the awards. I came with the prize. Thank you to the real trophy for making a beautiful night even better.”
CT has also opened up about the relationship.
“I’ll say, I don’t want to jinx it, but I’ll say we’re in a good place,” he told Us Weekly in September, comparing their dynamic to Paula Abdul’s “Opposites Attract.” He added, “With her, she just brings peace. It’s easy to just stay calm around her.” More recently, Phaedra told PEOPLE on October 10th that her relationship with CT is still going strong. “He’s a great guy,” she said. “And so yeah, I’m very excited.”
A source told Us Weekly in September that the romance is “definitely the real deal” and that CT “always had a bit of a crush on her” but valued their friendship too much to cross the line while they filmed. The source also said the pair has been mostly long-distance and has not blended their families yet. Phaedra shares sons Ayden and Dylan with her ex-husband Apollo Nida, who told TMZ he has no worries as long as CT treats her and their sons well. Andy Cohen has also weighed in, saying on his SiriusXM show, “It seems very real to me.”
Not everything has been smooth, at least publicly. Back in September, Catalina told TMZ that CT had not yet signed their divorce paperwork and urged him to “put the same energy into ending our marriage that he’s putting into publicly promoting his new relationship.” She also said she was not asking for money from him and only wanted his cooperation in finalizing the split. Now that the settlement has been signed, that chapter appears to be closing for good.
