We all thought that we had seen the end of Chris “CT” Tamburello on MTV’s The Challenge. Now he returns and he has a baby? That’s right. CT has a baby boy, but we hadn’t heard anything about his baby mama. By the looks of things, he wants to keep his relationship out of the limelight, though we do know his girlfriend’s name is Lilianet Solares. On the show this season, we get to hear CT chat on the phone with his girlfriend and you can check her out in the below pic.

This is the first big news we have seen from CT since the passing of his longtime off-and-on love, former cast-mate Diem Brown. Brown passed away after a long battle with ovarian cancer and CT was devastated, along with her friends, family, and fans.
Recently, CT participated in an interview with Hollywood Life and said that, because he is now a father, he hopes to set a better example for his son on the show. He told Hollywood Life:
The main reason I came back, I know there’s going to come a time where he’s going to see me on TV. I want him to see me as I am today, and not some punk running around with his head cut off, smashing heads, you know. I wanted to set the right example. Darrell can attest to this, me and him are the old men on the show — all we did was trade baby pictures with each other. I became a father and perspective changes.
Many viewers never expected to see CT compete on the show after beloved Diem Brown died. Going back on the show again, CT told Hollywood Life:
I felt like he helped me get my life back. Coming on this show, I like to think that I did it for him and for the right reasons. Also, it became more about me and getting my life back and doing it for me. I felt OK to come on this show in the very beginning, in this new chapter of my life. It did wonders for me. I was proud of it. I had my ups and down through my twenties, and I’m here now still sharing my life on TV. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
