Phaedra Parks and her boyfriend, actor CT Tamburello, attended the 78th Emmy Awards together in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday, Sept. 5.
It was their first public appearance as a couple since Phaedra confirmed the dating rumors last week. Phaedra, 52, and CT, 46, seemed happy and oblivious to potential trouble on the horizon.
According to Page Six, CT’s estranged wife, Catalina White, is ready to move on with their divorce, but CT is apparently hesitant to sign the papers.
The OF model addressed her ex directly in an E! News Instagram post on Saturday about Phaedra and CT’s relationship. She wrote, “Sign the papers” alongside three clapping emojis.
Clearly CT is not in a hurry to move on with Phaedra. She’s probably wondering what’s the holdup.
CT and Phaedra met and flirted with each other on the set of “Traitors” in 2024. Phaedra may be the reason for the pending divorce.
According to Page Six, CT and Catalina got married in October 2024, but she filed for divorce in January 2026 in Miami, Florida.
In the filing obtained by PEOPLE, Catalina, 40, said their marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
Last month, Catalina told TMZ that their divorce is still not finalized and that it was “taking a while.”
“I wish him the best,” she added, while noting that they are not on speaking terms.
“We’re hoping to wrap it up quickly, you know?” she said. “I think he has some things he needs to work out, and you know, we just weren’t communicating, so it just needed to come to an end.”
CT was in an on-again, off-again relationship with fellow “The Challenge” competitor Diem Brown from 2006 until her death in 2014.
CT made his reality TV debut on MTV’s 13th season of “Real World: Paris” in 2003.
