CT Tamburello’s Estranged Wife Has Thoughts on His New Romance
CT Tamburello and Phaedra Parks’ new romance has everyone talking. Parks was so confident things were going well that she happily gushed about her new partner. While fans who watched the pair occupy opposite sides in The Traitors are thrilled by the romance update, not everyone is feeling the love. CT Tamburello’s estranged wife, Catalina White, has a lot to say about the pairing, and very little of it is good. Phaedra’s ex was far more gracious.
CT Tamburello’s estranged wife responds to his happy news
Phaedra Parks announced that she and CT Tamburello were officially an item on Jeff Lewis’ SiriusXM show on September 4. The next night, the duo made their first coupled-up red carpet appearance. It has only been three days since then, but CT’s ex-wife, Catalina White, has already spoken out.
Catalina commented on an E! News update about the couple, urging her estranged spouse to “sign the papers.” Catalina also spoke to TMZ about the new romance, insisting that she wasn’t going to comment on whether she believed the romance was legitimate or if it was merely for publicity. She did push back on the timing of the new relationship, thought. Catalina suggested that CT should officially end his marriage before he so publicly moves on. She told the outlet, “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.”
How long were Catalina White and CT Tamburello married?
CT Tamburello and Catalina White might be in the midst of a bitter divorce, but their relationship didn’t actually last that long in the grand scheme of things. The pair began dating in 2023, shortly after CT finalized his divorce from Lilianet Solares. Things were not smooth from the start, with public fallings out and public makeups.
Despite that, they did make it down the aisle, marrying quietly in October 2024. By January 2026, things were over, with Catalina filing for divorce in Miami-Dade County. CT Tamburello filed his own counterpetition. The pair have no children, and based on the length of the union, the divorce should be fairly straightforward. According to Catalina, it hasn’t gone that way, and she’s blaming CT for that.
Apollo Nida’s take on the romance is much different
While Catalina White isn’t sold on CT Tamburello falling in love before their divorce is finalized, Phaedra Parks’ ex, Apollo Nida, is totally fine with it. TMZ caught up with him, and he was far more positive about the romance. He insisted that he’s not bothered by the lack of official divorce, and he’s fine with CT as long as he is good to Phaedra and his children.
Apollo and Phaedra married in 2009 and welcomed their first son, Ayden, during her time on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Their marriage seemed strained, even early on in her reality TV career. Their second son, Dylan, was born in 2013. The couple’s marital strife played out on-camera, with Apollo accusing Phaedra of cheating on him during season 7 of the series.
In 2014, Apollo was arrested and charged with a series of fraud crimes. Phaedra filed for divorce the same year. Their split was finalized in 2017 while he was still behind bars. Apollo was released in 2019. Apollo has since remarried.
