The Challenge’s Johnny Bananas ships his former castmates from The Traitors, Phaedra Parks and Chris “CT” Tamburello.
In an interview with US Weekly, Johnny detailed the dynamic between CT and Phaedra. “They were like two elementary school kids in love at the Emmys, and it seems like they’re picking up where they left off.”
Johnny continued, “I know CT just attended her birthday, and yeah, I think as far as I know they’re still going strong.”
Phaedra and CT met in 2023 while filming season 2 of Peacock’s hit reality show The Traitors. The pair instantly grabbed viewers’ attention with their palpable chemistry, which included Phaedra’s “castle daddy” nickname for CT.
Johnny is bananas for this new couple! “I ship it, listen, I was on their season of Traitors [and I] love them both.” He told TMZ last month, I know CT. He’s a brother to me.”
In the castle, “They were in a time where they weren’t able to really see what the full potential of a relationship was, but I think they both leveled up. She went from Apollo to Zeus, and he went from an OnlyFans creator to an attorney, so I think they’re both winning.”
Two Real Housewives gushed over Phaedra and CT’s romance at Bravo Fan Fest 2026.
According to Porsha Williams, CT has reached out to Porsha to plan a surprise for the ‘Frack‘ to her ‘Frick‘. “[CT and Porsha] have a very genuine, beautiful friendship that’s blooming. I think it’s going to be something special.”
Angela Oakley agrees with Porsha. During another panel at Bravo’s Fan Fest in Charleston last month, Angela told the crowd, “Phaedra and CT are the real deal.”
