Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello are giving “The Traitors” fans plenty to talk about again.
More than two years after the reality stars became fan favorites together on the Peacock competition series, Parks and Tamburello have reignited speculation about their relationship with a string of very public, very flirty social media exchanges.
This time, there may even be an awards show date involved.
Tamburello recently floated the idea of bringing Parks to the Emmy Awards as his plus-one. Parks didn’t exactly discourage him. Instead, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star has been matching his energy online, calling Tamburello “my man,” telling him “Baby I’m already yours” and seemingly agreeing to his invitation.
Neither Parks nor Tamburello has confirmed they are romantically involved, but their latest back-and-forth has once again blurred the line between playful friendship and something more.
CT Tamburello Wants Phaedra Parks as His Emmy Date
Tamburello got the ball rolling with an Aug. 9 Instagram post featuring a photo of Parks at “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Season 17 reunion.
“Anybody want to thro a good word in for me!? …still looking for a +1 for The Emmy’s,” “The Challenge” veteran wrote, adding, “A man can dream.”
Parks jumped into the comments with an answer that left little room for subtlety.
“Baby I’m already yours 😍🔥😘,” she wrote.
Tamburello responded with a GIF of Will Smith’s “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” character dramatically fainting.
And the flirting didn’t end there.
Days later, Tamburello shared another Instagram video announcing, “She said yes,” along with footage of Parks. He thanked those who helped “putting in a good word.”
Parks again showed up in the comments.
“It’s a date 😍🔥😘,” she wrote.
Tamburello fired back with the same trio of heart-eyes, fire and kissing emojis.
That exchange appears to settle at least one question: if the pair follows through with the plan, Tamburello may have found his Emmy Awards date.
Whether the red carpet outing means anything more remains another story entirely.
Phaedra Parks Calls CT Tamburello ‘My Man’
Parks only added to the speculation with another social media message.
In screenshots circulated online, the Bravo star reportedly reacted to a post involving Tamburello with, “That’s my man!”
She also referred to him as “claimed” while sharing one of his posts.
The playful comments immediately stand out because Parks and Tamburello’s chemistry has been a topic among fans since they competed on Season 2 of “The Traitors.”
Their unlikely partnership became one of the season’s most memorable dynamics, with Tamburello even referring to Parks as his “Castle Daddy” counterpart while they were in Scotland.
Parks later made it clear that her affection for Tamburello extended beyond their time on the show.
“Oh man, I would love to work with CT again,” Parks told Extra in March 2024. “He is just salt of the earth, a great guy. Just a gentleman, you know, alpha male.”
Now, more than two years later, the pair clearly hasn’t lost its spark.
Parks, 52, and Tamburello, 46, have yet to put an official label on their relationship. Parks’ “my man” message and their apparent Emmys plans, however, are certain to keep fans watching.
And if they do walk the Emmy Awards red carpet together, “The Traitors” fans may finally get the reunion they’ve been waiting for.
