'The Challenge: Double Agents': Who is Chris 'CT' Tamburello? A look at contestant's tragic past and net worth
'The Challenge: Double Agents' is all set to premiere on MTV on December 9. The cast and crew finished filming the show in an isolated location in Iceland a few months ago. And now, the winners' names are apparently out. There are a string of rumors doing the rounds that suggest that Chris 'CT" Tamburello was one of the winners, the other being Amber Borzotra, a rookie.
Taking the second spot were Kam Williams and Cory Wharton, while Nany Gonzalez and Leroy Garrett finished third, reported Inquisitr. However, let's focus on who is possibly this season's winner and how his life has been outside of the show.
Relationship status
He is married to Lilianet Solares with whom he has a son, CJ. The couple married in 2018 and their wedding ceremony was even televised. He's now a happy man, a family man but he had a tragic past. Before Lilianet, there was Diem Brown, whom he met on 'The Duel' and dated on-and-off. However, he was always there to support her as she endured the side effects of chemotherapy.
Unfortunately, Diem died in November 2014 after a long and hard battle with ovarian cancer, which was followed by a heartwarming tribute on a now-deleted Instagram page. It read: "Our plan to be together forever hasn't changed... it's just going to take a little longer now. And I'm going to hold onto this ring for you till we are together again."
Net worth
CT's rise to fame was 'The Real World: Paris' in 2003 and since then, he has been on the show 15 times. And that explains his net worth, which is at $400,000, Celebrity Net Worth published.
Fitness
CT has been a veteran and could easily be the oldest in the batch. But at 40, he's keener than ever to win the show. He has not had a good season and even told Hollywood Life that he may have gotten "too comfortable" and was slipping away. But ever since the elimination, he has taken matters into his own hands and begun training.
"One thing I’ve learned in these challenges is, it’s not about who’s the strongest — it’s about who can carry their own weight the longest. It’s about heart," he told the publication as he shared how he has been eating right and staying active to keep his fitness goals in check.
