CT still remembers Diem in his thoughts but has moved on in life. The reality star deleted all their pictures from his Instagram and married Lilianet Solares in Florida in 2018, whom he had known for three to four years. They welcomed their son, Chris Jr., in 2017, but parenthood could not keep the two together.
But Diem and CT’s sizzling chemistry and deep care for each other could not conceal the fact that it was indeed a tumultuous relationship. Their on-again, off-again status got so confusing that it became impossible for their followers to keep tabs on what was going on.
On The Duel, one of the storylines on the show was the new romance between competitors Diem Brown and Chris “CT” Tamburello, which grew throughout each episode as Diem opened up about having just finished her treatment for ovarian cancer and CT’s role in helping to rebuild her self-confidence.
The show’s portrayal of that moment has become an iconic scene of The Challenge, and it’s followed by CT revealing that he thought Diem looked like a “sexy G.I. Jane.” During the show, viewers could see CT pursuing Diem while she slowly opened up to him, culminating in their first kiss captured at the cliffs.
How old was Diem Brown when she died?
Editor’s note: While there have been numerous conflicting reports about Diem Brown’s age, PEOPLE has been able to confirm, via public records and with family and friends, that she was born in 1980 and was 34 years old at the time of her death.
During her seven seasons on MTV’s The Challenge, Diem Brown became a breakout star thanks to her competitive drive, warm charisma and the signature hair-flip that showed off her feisty playfulness.
