Phaedra Parks and Chris “CT” Tamburello have officially taken their Traitors chemistry from the castle to real life—and fans are absolutely here for it.
Parks confirmed the romance with her former The Traitors co-star, sending reality TV fans into a frenzy over a relationship many viewers suspected had been brewing since their flirtation on the show. The unexpected pairing has quickly become one of reality TV’s most talked-about new romances, with fans revisiting their Season 2 chemistry and celebrating the fact that their connection appears to have continued long after filming wrapped.
During an episode of Jeff Lewis Live, Parks confirmed that she and Tamburello had already been on a few dates. “So we’re going to the Emmys,” she said. “He’s a presenter, so I’m his date.”
While Parks didn’t divulge much more about their relationship, fans wasted little time making their feelings known. Some are already hoping the romance leads to Tamburello making an appearance on an upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
“I wouldn’t be mad at a CT cameo next season of RHOA lol,” one person wrote on Reddit.

Another fan joked that Tamburello better be ready to defend Parks at the reunion, writing, “I haven’t followed CT for years, but if he is anything like he used to be, he needs to lock all the way in & be ready to support Phae Phae at the next reunion without throwing hands. And I also want to see LePrince at the next reunion, too!”
Others focused less on the potential Bravo crossover and simply celebrated the couple. “They were so cute together on that show. This is so exciting. I’m so happy for her,” one person wrote on Threads.
Not everyone kept things quite so sentimental. One fan on social media summed up the unlikely pairing with a tongue-in-cheek take: “Phaedra Parks & Christopher Michael ‘CT’ Tamburello together? Oh, this isn’t a relationship, it’s a reality TV crossover nobody asked for & everybody is going to watch.”
Whether or not Tamburello actually turns up in Atlanta, fans clearly aren’t ready to let this crossover end with The Traitors. For now, they’re getting their first glimpse of Parks and CT as a real-life couple when they hit the Emmys together.
