Chris ‘CT’ Tamburello’s estranged wife, Catalina White, is sounding off on news that the Challenge star is dating Phaedra Parks.
On Saturday, September 5, White, 40, replied in the comment section of a news report about Parks, 54, going public with her romance with Tamburello, 46, two years after they openly flirted as competitors on The Traitors season 2.
“Sign the papers 👏👏👏,” White wrote.
Her comment was likely meant to encourage Tamburello to sign their divorce papers since settlement negotiations between the two have been taking place all year.
Us confirmed that White filed for divorce in Miami-Dade County, Florida, in January, stating in court documents that her marriage was “irretrievably broken.” She initially asked the court to divide her and Tamburello’s assets “equitably” and requested that neither party pay alimony.
Tamburello responded in a court petition by asking to keep his “pre-marital and non-marital assets” and encouraged a judge to award “any such relief as the Court deems just and proper.”
The former couple were required to file a financial affidavit by March 13, 2026, though they ultimately asked for a 30-day extension. Tamburello could not sign off on any settlement immediately as he was away filming a TV show.
“The parties are currently negotiating a marital settlement agreement that contains an agreed waiver of exchanging and filing Financial Affidavits,” their lawyers explained in a joint petition. “The settlement agreement is on its final stages, however, the Respondent/Husband is out of town filming a reality show in which he has very limited contact with his counsel.”
The joint petition continued, “The parties expect settlement to be imminent and will be concluded as soon as counsel for Respondent/Husband can connect with her client.”
In August, White told Where Is the Buzz that she wanted to “genuinely wish Chris nothing but the best” despite their marriage coming to an end.
“Out of respect for the legal process and for everyone involved, I’m not going to discuss the details of our relationship or the divorce,” she stressed.
However, White did say that the complex process of getting divorced made her feel “grateful to have built my own career and to be able to support myself independently.”
“I’ve worked incredibly hard for what I have, and I’m proud of that,” the model said. “This has never been about money for me. My focus is simply on moving forward, continuing to build my business, being there for my family, and embracing the next chapter of my life with positivity.”
Parks went public with her new romance with Tamburello on Sirius XM’s Jeff Lewis Live on Friday, September 4, revealing that she planned to take him as her date to the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The RHOA star confirmed to host Jeff Lewis that she’d “been out” with Tamburello a few times but declined to share exactly how many dates they’ve had.
Prior to his two-year marriage to White, Tamburello was with first wife Lilianet Solares, with whom he shares 10-year-old son CJ, from 2018 to 2023. Parks and ex-husband Apollo Nida were married from 2009 to 2017 and they share sons Ayden, 16, and Dylan, 13.
