Chris “CT” Tamburello and Phaedra Parks have officially taken their relationship public, but CT’s estranged wife, Catalina White, is making it clear that she has one priority: getting their divorce finalized.
After CT and Phaedra confirmed that they are dating, White initially commented on an E! News post about the new couple, writing, “Sign the papers,” along with clapping emojis.
But White had more to say about the situation.
Speaking to Page Six, White claimed that CT has been delaying the divorce process and said she wants him to put the same effort into ending their marriage that he is putting into publicly promoting his new relationship.
“I’ve been trying to finalize this divorce,” White said, claiming that her attorney has made repeated efforts to move things along and that they are still waiting for CT’s cooperation.
White also addressed the financial side of the divorce, making it clear that she says she isn’t looking for money from CT.
According to White, she only wants his cooperation in getting the divorce finalized.
And when it comes to CT’s relationship with Phaedra, White isn’t getting involved in deciding whether the romance is genuine.
She said she is “not interested in commenting on whether his new relationship is real, for publicity, or anything in between.”
At the same time, she said she genuinely wishes CT well in whatever relationship or career he chooses to pursue.
Her comments come just days after Phaedra confirmed that she and CT are officially dating.
As previously reported, the two first met while competing on The Traitors in 2024, where their playful chemistry had fans wondering if there was something more between them.
Phaedra recently confirmed that their relationship is no longer platonic, and the two made their red carpet debut together at the Creative Arts Emmys.
