Catalina White, the estranged wife of reality television personality Chris “CT” Tamburello, has publicly called for the finalization of their divorce, asserting her lack of interest in reconciliation as Tamburello’s new relationship with Phaedra Parks gains attention.
In a statement to TMZ on Monday, White expressed frustration with the ongoing divorce proceedings, stating, “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.” She claimed that her legal counsel has made repeated efforts to expedite the settlement, but they are awaiting Tamburello's cooperation.
White clarified that her sole request is for him to finalize their divorce, emphasizing, “I do not — and never did — need or want money from this man.” She added, “If Chris is ready to publicly move on, he should be ready to legally move on too.”
This public plea follows Tamburello's confirmation of his romance with Parks, his “Traitors” co-star. The couple made their red carpet debut at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards in 2026. An insider described their relationship as “sweet” and noted that Tamburello makes Parks “really happy.”
White, who married Tamburello in October 2024, filed for divorce in January 2026. While the couple had been negotiating a marital settlement agreement in March, a resolution has not yet been reached. White previously urged Tamburello to “sign the papers” in an Instagram comment shortly after his relationship with Parks was revealed.
Tamburello, known for his appearances on “The Challenge,” and Parks, formerly of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” met while filming “Traitors.” Tamburello has a son, CJ, from a previous marriage to Lilianet “Lili” Solares. Parks divorced Apollo Nida in 2014.
