Phaedra Parks and her former "The Traitors" co-star Chris "CT" Tamburello made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Creative Arts Emmys 2026 on Saturday.
Tamburello, 46, was seen with his arm around Parks, 52, as they posed for photos at the ceremony. Parks wore a black velvet gown with crystal detailing, while Tamburello opted for a classic black tuxedo. The couple did not display overt public displays of affection on the red carpet.
Their public appearance followed Parks' confirmation two days earlier that she and the "Challenge" star were dating. A source told Page Six that Tamburello had expressed strong interest in Parks during their time on "The Traitors" Season 2 in 2024. "He makes her really happy," the source added, noting that they "really do laugh together a lot and their relationship is really sweet."
"The Traitors," on which Parks was a secret traitor and Tamburello ultimately won the series, was nominated for seven Emmy Awards and secured six wins. The show featured cast members such as Peter Weber, Trishelle Cannatella, and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
Parks, an attorney, has two sons, Ayden, 16, and Dylan, 13, with her ex-husband Apollo Nida. Tamburello has a son, Christopher "C.J.," 10, with his ex-wife Lilianet "Lili" Solares. Tamburello was briefly married to Catalina Hager in October 2024 before she filed for divorce in January.
