In the video, Catalina seductively says, “Okay, so since the cat’s out of the bag, do you wanna er…you know?” as CT looks excited at the prospect.
“Take some pictures?” she finishes her sentence, before the clip cuts to multiple funny snaps of the pair, dressed in quirky outfits and wearing wigs, set to Corey Hart’s song Sunglasses at Night.
Seemingly quipping about their unconventional photo shoot, CT captioned the post, “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…” he added.

Last April, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Lilianet had filed for emergency sole custody of Christopher amid their acrimonious split after CT filed for divorce in November 2022.
FINDING LOVE AGAIN
A judge denied Lilianet’s request before she and CT agreed to split custody of their son while finalizing their divorce last November.
The seven-time Challenge winner legally got married on May 4, 2018, four months before tying the knot during a televised ceremony that was aired on MTV.
The two-part wedding special was titled CT’s Getting Married and documented their rocky road to love, including “a lot of static between Lili, and friends and family,” CT said at the time.
CT revealed he and Lilianet were “separated” during an episode of The Challenge: Double Agents that was released in December 2020.
“Marriage was not going well. We’re separated,” he said at the time. “I feel like I’ve been running from problems for a long time, and I feel like they finally caught up with me.
“And I couldn’t lie to myself anymore,” CT, then 40, continued. “So now, I’m coming in, focused on myself, focused on work, focused on my son, focused on getting my head right, get back in shape.
“Taking my life back.”
