Chris “CT” Tamburello‘s estranged wife, Catalina White, subtly shaded her ex after he debuted his romance with Traitors costar Phaedra Parks.
“I genuinely wish Chris well in whatever relationship or career he chooses to pursue. I’m not interested in commenting on whether his new relationship is real, for publicity, or anything in between,” White told Us in a statement on Monday, September 7. “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.”
Tamburello and White tied the knot in October 2024 and separated earlier this year. Us confirmed that White filed for divorce in Miami-Dade County, Florida, in January. According to court docs obtained by Us, White stated that her and Tamburello’s marriage was “irretrievably broken.” She initially asked the court to divide her and Tamburello’s assets “equitably” and requested that neither party pay alimony.
“I filed for divorce in January. I never wanted to withdraw that case, but I felt pressured by Chris to do so,” White alleged. “Then, after I withdrew my filing, he turned around and filed himself — only for the case to continue dragging on for months. Since then, I’ve been trying to finalize this divorce. My counsel has made repeated efforts to move things forward as quickly as possible, and we continue to wait for his cooperation.”
White added that she is not interested in The Challenge star’s money since she has a successful career of her own.
“I am one of the top earners on OnlyFans. I support myself, I have my own career, and I do not — and never did — need or want money from this man. I’m not asking for anything from him other than his cooperation in finalizing our divorce,” she continued. “Contrary to popular belief, I don’t want his money. I don’t want to interfere with his life or mine. I want the same thing I wanted when I filed in January: to end this marriage and move forward with my life.”
White concluded her message saying that “if Chris is ready to publicly move on, he should be ready to legally move on too. Sign the papers!”
Earlier this month, Parks revealed that she and Tamburello were an item two years after they competed on The Traitors season 2, which aired in 2024. During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star confirmed to host Jeff Lewis that she’d “been out” with Tamburello a few times. She also teased that he was going to be her date to the Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
After news of Tamburello and Park’s relationship status made headlines, White was quick to react. She responded to a news post about the new couple by writing, “sign the papers,” referring to her and Tamburello’s ongoing divorce.
Prior to his marriage to White, Tamburello was married to ex-wife Lilianet Solares from 2018 to 2023. The exes share a 10-year-old son. Tamburello was also in an on and off relationship with his late The Challenge costar Diem Brown before her death in 2014 following a battle with cancer.
