In a significant development in celebrity news, CT Tamburello, a well-known figure from MTV’s ‘The Challenge’, is undergoing a divorce from his wife, Catalina White. The couple had been married for less than two years before White initiated proceedings in Miami-Dade County, Florida, revealing their marital relationship has ended as they deem it “irretrievably broken”.

Catalina White, 40, filed for divorce on January 9, 2024, and her request emphasises an equitable distribution of their shared assets and liabilities, while she has also sought to waive any alimony. Court documents obtained by PEOPLE indicate that the couple, both Florida residents, separated within the same month of the filing. Notably, the couple does not have children together.
In her legal submission, White cited irreconcilable differences as the basis for her decision. Following her filing, Tamburello, 45, responded by affirming that their marriage is indeed “irretrievably broken”. He noted January of 2026 as their date of separation and proceeded to file a counterpetition for the dissolution of their marriage.
The couple’s marriage took place on October 15, 2024, and both parties have indicated that they have been residing in Florida for over six months ahead of the divorce proceedings. Despite the ongoing separation, the parties are currently in negotiation for a marital settlement agreement. They recently sought a joint 30-day extension to submit their financial affidavits, originally due by March 13, 2026.
According to their motion to the court, they expect these negotiations to result in a settlement soon. Tamburello has cited his commitments filming a reality show as a factor that limited his ability to communicate with his attorney during this period. Both parties have expressed intentions to resolve matters amicably, with Tamburello also seeking to retain his pre-marital and non-marital assets through the proceedings.
In the earlier days of their relationship, Tamburello and White made headlines in 2024 when they shared a light-hearted video on Instagram, jokingly acknowledging their romantic involvement. The duo delighted fans with snippets from their lives, showcasing their playful personalities while set against the backdrop of popular music.
Before his marriage with White, Tamburello was previously wed to Lilianet “Lili” Solares. Their union, which lasted from 2018 until his filing for divorce in November 2022, resulted in the birth of their son, Christopher “C.J.” Tamburello Solares, in 2016. Tamburello’s first wedding was also featured in a two-part MTV special called C.T.’s Getting Married. He later revealed in an episode of The Challenge: Double Agents that the couple had faced challenges and had been separated prior to the finalisation of their divorce.
As legal proceedings continue, the public remains eager for updates on the outcome of the couple’s settlement discussions. Representatives for Tamburello have been contacted for further comments, but details surrounding the divorce may evolve as both parties navigate this challenging period. With their relationship now in the public eye, both Tamburello and White face the scrutiny that comes with their celebrity status, as they seek to move forward individually while adhering to legal obligations.
