Late Chester Bennington’s Son - Tyler Lee Bennington With Ex-Spouse Talinda Bennington
Tyler Lee Bennington is the son of the late American singer and the lead singer of the famous American rock band 'Linkin Park,' Chester Bennington. He was born on March 16, 2006, to parents Chester and his ex-wife Talinda Bennington.
The 'Tyler' is originated from old English literature and refers to 'one who makes tiles.' As for the name 'Lee', it is also derived from English origin which means 'meadow, pasture.' Check out the facts about him given below:
Wealthy Father
Lee's father Chris Bennington was one of the richest musicians who held an amazing net worth of $30 million during his lifetime. He was able to amass such an appreciable fortune from his incredible career as the singer and songwriter of his band.
Parents' Relationship
Tyler Lee Benningtonr's Parents Chester and Talinda were married for twelve years before the death of the singer tore them apart. The couple walked down the aisle back in 2005 soon after Bennington's divorce with Samantha Marie Olit was finalized.
Bennington with Olit gave birth to three kids from their marriage of which two were twins. They were living a happily married life until 2017 when Bennington passed away at their apartment.
Two Siblings
The 17-year-old son of Bennington has two younger siblings from his parents. Both of them are sisters whose names are Lila Bennington and Lily Bennington. The interesting thing about them is that they are twins. They are so cute like their father and also inherit some beauty from their mamma.
Three Half-Siblings
Not only siblings, Tyler also has three half-siblings from his father and his previous relationships. All three of them are his elder brothers and are Jaime Bennington, Isaiah Bennington, and Draven Sebastian Bennington.
Jaime and Isaiah are from his father and his ex-girlfriend Elka Brand where Jaime is the eldest and Isaiah is the youngest. Draven was born to Chester and his ex-wife Samantha Marie Olit.
Dad Committed Suicide
Chester Bennington committed suicide by hanging himself on his ceiling in their apartment in California on July 20, 2017. The root cause behind him taking his own life was depression and addiction to substance use. He was fighting with depression and mental illness for a very long time but he never used to show them which eventually was killing himself day by day from the inside.
The tragic death of the musician brought great sorrow and heartbreak to his family.
Wrote A Special Note to Father Before His Death
It was a week before the tragic death of Bennington, his son Tyler Lee Bennington wrote a note to him on his coffee mug. The note was a post-it note where the 13-year-old tried to tell his father to enjoy his life and love life. The note read:
"Dad, enjoy your rehearsal or whatever your doing today, Love life because it’s a ‘Casltel of Glass."
Here Lee probably mis-wrote the word castle with casltel but it is obvious to find the meaning out of the line. However, it is very sad that Chester committed suicide just a week after his son told him loved his life. It must have been a very painful moment for the child.
