A love story has developed between CT Tamburello and Phaedra Parks throughout their stay at the round table. During season two, fans began to ship the Traitors co-stars as a couple due to their apparent chemistry. Parks has now acknowledged that they are now romantic partners in real life rather than just comrades in the game.

The couple's social media activities recently rekindled the long-running rumors that the Real Housewives of Atlanta actress and the Challenge alum might become together. In response to a question about whether their relationship was platonic at Jeff Lewis Live on September 4, Parks stated, "No, it's not."

As a result, the lawyer continued, the reality stars had a number of memorable date evenings.

"We're going to the Emmys," Parks clarified, mentioning the September 5 Creative Emmy Awards. "He's a presenter, so I'm his date."

After the ceremony, Tamburello, 46, will go on a work trip with the 52-year-old to Fire Island in New York. However, after Parks' final trip to Hollywood, their cross-country affair began, with Parks residing in Atlanta and the Boston personality living somewhere on the East Coast.

Parks stated that their relationship became formal "probably since the last time I came out here," most likely alluding to her June 5 trip to Los Angeles for the 2026 Impact Awards.

Tamburello said he had only become friends with Parks after winning the tournament, which was broadcast on Peacock in 2024.

"I think that’s more wishful thinking," at that point in time, he informed the media that fans were shipping them. "We had some laughs, we had some fun, but that’s it."

More than two years later, Tamburello shared a selfie on Instagram with a mysterious statement, giving admirers the impression that the two might be dating.

The Bravo personality reposted his image, which was taken by an X user, with a checkmark emoji and her own statement, "Claimed."

"When you are at the current biggest event on Earth," the Real World: Paris alum penned Aug. 22, "and you are with the coldest..."

From 2009 until 2017, Parks was married to Apollo Nida, with whom she has two children, Dylan, 13, and Ayden, 16. Tamburello and his ex-wife Lilianet Solares have a 10-year-old son named CJ Tamburello Jr. Tamburello married Catalina White in 2024, but they divorced in January.
