CT’s Movie Career and Divorce

CT recently appeared in a movie called “Hunting Games” and was spotted in New York for an event where he hung out with Derek. Unfortunately, he is currently going through a messy divorce since November last year, which he addressed on Instagram in a since-deleted post.

Nelson’s Recovery and Big Challenge

One of the saddest updates comes from Nelson, who had a very bad car accident in March. Since then, he has undergone multiple surgeries and rehab mostly for his foot. To cover the expenses, Nelson set up a GoFundMe page and continues to share his challenging journey with fans the whole way. Recently, he had a setback with pneumonia and fluid around his heart. Let’s keep Nelson in our thoughts and send positive vibes for his recovery.

Jenna and Zach’s Family Moments

Jenna and Zach are now parents of two kids, and they recently visited Disney World and showed a very happy family vibe. Their journey from a broken relationship to marital bliss is truly heartwarming for this Challenge couple. Their connection was always obvious, and when Zach checked on Jenna after her injury on “Champs vs. Stars,” I knew this was the real deal!

Tristan’s Breakup

Tristan and his girlfriend Olivia have officially broken up, and Tristan is currently filming “Made in Chelsea” in Corsica, hanging out with friends from the show. Despite the breakup, fans can probably anticipate Tristan’s return to the Challenge, he had a standout performance in the World Championship. Let’s hope!

Exciting Baby News

Amber, glowing with happiness, is currently expecting, expressing her gratitude and cherishing every moment of life. Wes and his wife are also looking forward to the arrival of their baby in September, which probably means Wes will take a break from the Challenge.
