CT Tamburello opens up about his divorce from ex Lilianet Solares

According to TMZ, CT Tamburello finalized his divorce in October 2023, a year after initially taking the matter to the courts. According to official court documents, CT and Lilianet reached a mutual settlement, agreeing to split the custody of their seven-year-old son Christopher Jr. and take care of his expenses together.

CT has been directed by the court to pay $761.39 to Lilianet every month in the form of child support, along with an additional $332.45 for each week that he is working and unable to provide the time to take care of his son.

He will also extend another $30,000 to her as part of the equity of their house. CT will retain ownership of its company, New Leaf Investments, while Lilianet will keep her Solares Management business.

In an exclusive interview given to People on April 7, 2023, CT Tamburello opened up about being disturbed by the presence of Lilianet's ex-partner in their midst when she and CT were together.

This proved to be a bone of contention between the two, and CT believes that Lilianet's ex might find himself in a similar position now that they are no longer together. He stated,

"The same thing she's doing to me with this new guy is the same thing I did to her first husband. I didn't know. I really didn't know she told me her ex-fiancé was cheating on her. I didn't know she was still married."
