There was a general feeling of excitement among fans as they watched Chris Tamburello tie the knot with his beloved Lilianet Solares, in a wedding ceremony broadcast on MTV in December 2018. But the interesting thing was that the couple previously had a courthouse ceremony four months back.
The court wedding took place in Coral Gables on May 31, 2018, based on records from the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts according to Heavy. The information further disclosed that Lilianet Solares and Chris Tamburello have an age gap of 11 years between them.
