Were Diem and CT dating when she passed away?

Family, friends, and fans everywhere have been in mourning after the devastating loss of Diem Brown earlier this week. Not only will Diem be remembered as a loving friend and fierce competitor, she will be thought of as the one woman who was able to tame C.T.

Diem and C.T.’s on-again/off-again relationship kept viewers of The Challenge hooked. Rumors were swirling the couple recently rekindled their romance and even became engaged while Diem was in the hospital.

So, were Diem and C.T. dating during her final days?

Close friends of Diem say no, the couple were not in a romantic relationship. According to People, Diem was single at the time of her death.

Thankfully, C.T. was able to spend time with Diem in her final days though he wasn’t in the room when she passed which is what some reports claimed.

Even though Diem and C.T. weren’t together in the end, it hasn’t stopped C.T. from showing his love and admiration for his former love.

He posted a picture of a rosary, a ring, and photo of Diem (which looks to be a memorial card) with her given name “Danielle Brown” along with the following caption:

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. 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. And I’m going to hold onto this ring for you till we are together again. So don’t worry mama, I’m not afraid. I know you will always be with me to give me your strength. You are The Love of My Life. My reason to be a better man. I Love You Always and Forever
