Chris “CT” Tamburello’s estranged wife, Catalina White, publicly told him to sign their divorce papers amid his new romance with Phaedra Parks.
In an E! News Instagram post Saturday about Tamburello and Parks’ relationship, White commented, “Sign the papers” alongside three clapping hands emojis.
Tamburello and White got married in October 2024, but shefiled for divorce in January 2025 in Miami-Dade County, Florida, after a year of marriage. In the filing obtained by People, White, 40, stated that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
Last month, the OnlyFans model told TMZ that their divorce had still not been finalized and that it was “taking a while.”
“We’re hoping to wrap it up quickly, you know?” she said.
As for what went wrong in their marriage, she commented, “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.”
“I wish him the best,” she added, though noted that the two were not on speaking terms.
Tamburello, 46, was also previously married to Lilianet “Lili” Solares, whom he divorced in 2023 after five years of marriage. The two share their son, CJ, 10.
Parks, 52, was also previously married. She and her ex-husband, Apollo Nida, tied the knot in 2009, but split in 2014 after he pled guilty to charges of mail, wire and bank fraud. They share two sons together, Ayden, 16, and Dylan, 13.
The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star confirmed she’s dating the “Challenge” star Friday after the two formed a connection when they were both on Season 2 of “The Traitors.”

“He made it clear to her he really, really liked her and he fell for her when they were on ‘Traitors,’” a source told us.
“He makes her really happy,” our source added. “They really do laugh together a lot and their relationship is really sweet.”
On Saturday, they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles. Tamburello kept his arm around Parks as they posed for pics, who looked glamorous in a cut-out black velvet dress.
