Phaedra Parks Confirms Romance with ‘Traitors’ Co-Star CT Tamburello

# What happened Phaedra Parks confirmed she is dating Chris "CT" Tamburello during an appearance on Jeff Lewis Live. When asked whether her upcoming Emmys date with CT was platonic, Parks replied that it was not. She said they have already been on multiple dates and will attend the Creative Arts Emmy Awards together, where CT is scheduled to present.

# How this developed Parks and CT first formed a notable bond while filming season 2 of The Traitors in 2023. Viewers watched their friendship unfold on the season that aired in 2024, and Parks once called CT her "Castle Daddy" during that run. At the time, CT publicly denied any on-set romance. Over the following years the two maintained a flirtatious public rapport, including recent Instagram exchanges and CT calling Parks his "bae" on social media.

# What was said publicly On radio, Parks explicitly confirmed they are dating and that she would be his date to the Emmys. CT responded on his Instagram Story by posting a clip of himself peeking in on her radio appearance with Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" playing in the background. After the radio confirmation, the pair made appearances together in public and on red carpets.

# Context about CT's recent relationships CT's relationship history since The Traitors has been part of public coverage: he finalized a split in late 2023, married in October 2024, and split in January 2026. That divorce was reported as not finalized at the time of some coverage. Media outlets have noted those timelines while reporting on his new relationship with Parks.
