The Challenge Star CT Goes Instagram Official With Catalina Hager
CT, 44, shared a clip confirming his romance with internet personality Catalina Hager.
“Okay, so since the cat’s out of the bag, do you wanna er… you know?” Catalina said, looking seductively at CT. Her new man looked intrigued before clarifying, “Take some pictures?”
Then, while Cory Hart’s classic Sunglasses at Night played in the background, CT and Catalina wore an array of classic 80s looks while posing for photos straight out of a JCPenney studio.
He captioned the video: “What are we doin’!? We pullin’ down the JC Penney Glamour Shot Custom Backdrop and makin’ sure we loud enough for the people in the back.”
CT’s The Challenge co-stars Cara Maria Sorbello and Paulie Calafiore, who have been dating for years, were thrilled CT and Catalina finally announced their romance. Cara even claims to be the “best matchmaker.”
Some fans of the MTV hit claim that Catalina is an “adult star.” Her Twitter handle claims she is “Your sexy milf Nextdoor” and that she joined OnlyFans in 2009.
The Challenge’s CT Settled His Messy Divorce In November 2023
Catalina is the first girlfriend CT has made Instagram official since he split with his wife, Lilianet Solares, a year after filing papers to end their marriage.
Court documents reveal that they agreed to split custody of their 8-year-old child, Christopher Jr.
CT’s child support payments seem to work around his time on The Challenge, which he has won five times.
He has to pay his ex $761.39 each month in child support and an additional $332.45 for each week he works, and he cannot exercise equal timesharing for their little one.
After marrying in a special episode of The Challenge: CT Is Getting Married, CT and Lilianet had a very up-and-down relationship. CT even addressed their messy relationship during one season of the show when he was clearly not wearing his wedding ring.
CT’s Ex-Wife Or New Girlfriend Are Not Even His Most Famous Romances
CT met Diem Brown on Season 13 of The Challenge, called The Duel. They went on to date for years and then endured a nasty split, which was documented on the show.
Diem was very open about battling ovarian cancer multiple times, even while competing.
After they split, fans were elated to see them make amends when they reunited to participate in 2012’s Battle of the Exes. They earned second place and took home a cash prize of $100,000.
They were partnered up again on Battle of the Exes II before Diem collapsed on set. She revealed her cancer had returned for a third time.
She died four months later.
“You have always been My Angel. And now you have your wings. We’ve been thru so much over the years. Thru the ups and downs we somehow managed to keep our promise,” CT wrote in a tribute following her death.
“We never gave up on each other. Our plan to be together forever hasn’t changed … it’s just going to take a little longer now.”
CT is currently competing on The Challenge: Battle of the Eras, with new episodes premiering Wednesday nights on MTV.
