Even during the times, like on ‘The Challenge: Rivals II’ reunion episode, they did not romantically see each other, Diem had nothing but compliments to shower on CT. After dating for almost a year and a half, they officially called it quits. Their on-again, off-again status got so confusing that it became impossible for their followers to keep tabs on what was going on. 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. They appeared together on ‘The Gauntlet III’ (season 15) as a couple.
She had lost one ovary in the process, and there were moments when she needed reassurance that she looked beautiful even without her “wig.” The reality star reminded her of just that during the time spent together. What brought the two closer was how CT helped Diem feel beautiful and even ladylike during her fight with ovarian cancer. The viewers could not wait for the two to be officially an “item,” which happened sooner than later. They clicked instantly during the show’s filming and kept flirting with each other back and forth. Chris “CT” Tamburello and Diem Brown crossed paths on ‘Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel’ (season 13), which premiered on October 12, 2006.
