Catalina White has one clear message for her estranged husband: sign the papers.
The OnlyFans creator and The Challenge alum CT Tamburello are finally scheduled for private mediation next month after months of legal stalling, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The timing coincides with Tamburello’s very public romance with Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks — a development White has answered with blunt public comments and a firm refusal to seek money from the split.

From Secret Wedding to Mediation Table
Tamburello and White married on October 15, 2024, in Key Largo, Florida. The relationship had already been turbulent. They hard-launched with a paid sex tape on her OnlyFans page in late 2024, split, reconciled, and then watched the marriage collapse within months.
White filed for divorce in January 2026, three months after the wedding, citing that the marriage was “irretrievably broken.” She later dismissed the case, saying she felt pressure from Tamburello. He then filed his own petition in June. For months the case barely moved.
That changed in late September. New court papers show the pair are now set for private mediation in an effort to settle outstanding issues. After a year of filings, withdrawals, and public sniping, the legal process is finally accelerating.
White’s Public Push: “Sign the Papers”
White has not been quiet. When news of Tamburello and Parks’ romance circulated, she left a pointed comment under an E! News post: “Sign the papers,” followed by clapping emojis.
In interviews with TMZ and Page Six she expanded on the frustration. She said she wants Tamburello to put the same energy into ending the marriage that he is putting into promoting the new relationship. She also made clear she is not seeking financial support.
“I do not — and never did — need or want money from this man,” White said. She described herself as one of the top earners on OnlyFans, fully supporting herself, and asked only for cooperation to finalize the divorce.
She has also addressed the question hanging over the timeline: whether there was any “inappropriate overlap” between Tamburello and Parks while he was still married. White told Page Six she does not believe there was. She said she only ever viewed their connection as friendly until recently and has “no reason to believe” otherwise.
The Phaedra Parks Factor
Tamburello and Parks met while filming Season 2 of The Traitors. Their on-screen chemistry was noticeable at the time, but both long described the relationship as friendship. That changed in 2026. Parks confirmed the romance on Jeff Lewis Live, and the pair made a red-carpet debut at the Creative Arts Emmys.
Tamburello has since described the relationship as being “in a good place” and noted that much of it has been long-distance. Sources have said he valued the friendship for years and only pursued something more after his marriage to White effectively ended.
The public nature of the new relationship has kept pressure on the unfinished divorce. White’s repeated calls to “sign the papers” turned a private legal matter into a running public narrative.
Why the Mediation Matters
Private mediation is often the step that either produces a settlement or clarifies that a full court fight is inevitable. For a short marriage with no children and two parties who both describe the relationship as over, the remaining issues are typically limited to the division of assets and liabilities accumulated during the brief time they were married.
White has already stated she is not seeking alimony or a payout. Tamburello’s June filing asked for an equitable division of joint property. If mediation succeeds, the case could close relatively quickly. If it fails, the public spectacle is likely to continue.
The OnlyFans Angle
White’s status as a high-earning OnlyFans creator has been central to how she frames the split. By emphasizing that she supports herself and wants nothing financially from Tamburello, she is rejecting the common reality-TV divorce narrative in which one partner is portrayed as seeking a payday. The message is deliberate: this is about closing a short, mismatched marriage, not extracting resources.
That framing also fits a broader pattern. Several recent high-profile reality and celebrity divorces have involved OnlyFans creators whose independent income changes the usual power dynamics of settlement talks.
What Comes Next
Mediation is scheduled for next month. Until then, Tamburello continues to appear publicly with Parks, and White continues to make clear she wants the legal chapter finished. Both sides have said the marriage is over. The remaining question is how long it takes the paperwork to catch up.

Why this story matters for U.S. readers
American search interest around Catalina White Tells CT Tamburello to ‘Sign the Papers’ as OnlyFans Star and Challenge Alum Finally Head to Divorce Mediation is not random. Google rewards pages that answer the core question quickly, then add context a senior reporter would care about: money, timing, platform rules, and what changes next for creators or fans. Thin recap posts fail because they only repeat a press blurb.
Readers from Discover or News feeds usually want a clean summary, a clear label on what is verified versus reported, and a connection to the wider creator economy in the United States.
Search intent and structure
Most queries for this headline are “know” intent — facts, names, and numbers. Clear H2 sections and careful wording outperform vague commentary. American English and concrete attribution matter more than moral padding.
Creator economy context
OnlyFans and related platforms changed bargaining power for performers, influencers, and athletes. Headlines like this one act as market signals: what audiences pay for, what brands tolerate, and what platforms enforce. Extra paragraphs here add consequence and follow-up questions, not filler.
What to watch next
Expect three waves of coverage: announcement, reaction, then operational updates. Treat early figures as provisional until confirmed. Fans should know what they pay for; creators should remember attention only compounds when trust survives the cycle.
Quick facts readers usually ask next
After the headline, most U.S. readers want a tighter set of answers: who is involved, what changed, when it happened, and whether money figures are confirmed or only claimed. Labeling those details clearly reduces bounce and improves snippet eligibility. If a number came from a screenshot, say so. If a quote came from one interview, attribute it. If a legal outcome is pending, do not write it as settled.
This is also where internal consistency matters. Headlines promise one story; the body has to deliver that story without switching topics halfway through. A fashion-week piece should not drift into unrelated payout rumors. A business valuation piece should not pad with unrelated celebrity gossip. Keeping the spine tight is part of word-length quality, not just word-length quantity.
Editorial note on sources and updates
Creator-economy news moves in public, but verification often lags. The responsible approach for an American audience is iterative: publish what is known, mark what is alleged, and update when primary documents or on-record statements appear. Readers are not asking for outrage. They are asking for a map. This section exists to keep that map readable after the first scroll.
