Phaedra Parks' ex-husband says he supports her new relationship with CT Tamburello

Apollo Nida, the former husband of former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks, said on Monday that he is "happy" for Parks and her new boyfriend, former "The Challenge" contestant Chris "CT" Tamburello. Nida told TMZ he has no concerns as long as Tamburello treats Parks and their two sons respectfully. He added that he has observed a romance developing between the two while they filmed "The Traitors" Season 2.

Nida emphasized that he is not focused on Parks' dating life and that he and Parks maintain a cordial co-parenting relationship. He said Parks has always behaved appropriately regarding their children. The couple married in 2009, share sons Ayden, 16, and Dylan, 13, and divorced in July 2017 after Nida served an eight-year prison sentence for fraud.

Parks confirmed the relationship during a recent SiriusXM interview, describing it as "not platonic" and noting that the pair laugh together often. The couple made a public appearance at the Creative Arts Emmys 2026.

Tamburello, who was previously married to Lilianet "Lili" Solares and later to Catalina White, is currently dealing with a pending divorce from White, who has publicly urged him to finalize the separation.
