The Challenge’sChris “C.T.” Tamburellois addressing rumors that he and wife Lilianet “Lili” Solares have split.
In a Sunday video posted to his Instagram page, the reality star mentioned a previous post of his that fans had taken to mean he and Solares were breaking up. According to commenters on the video, the post had featured Tamburello listening to a remix of Halsey’s “Without Me.”
“Hey guys, quick PSA about my post from last night, I love my wife, we’re not breaking up,” he said in the video. “I’m sorry if I misled some of you into believing that we were breaking up, that was not my intention.
“I’m away filming and we were in between scenes, I was listening to some music and I like that song, I like that remix, so I figured I’d post it why now and didn’t think anything of it,” continued Tamburello, who was wearingChallengegear in the clip.
