“The Traitors” Star Rob Rausch Confirms His Relationship Status

**Rob Rausch Confirms Relationship Status Following Dramatic ‘The Traitors’ Reunion**

The finale and reunion of the latest season of *The Traitors* aired recently, prompting stars to reflect on their journey through the competitive reality show. Among them, Rob Rausch, known for his cunning gameplay, addressed his relationship status during the reunion hosted by Andy Cohen.

In a lively exchange, Cohen posed a direct question to Rausch: “Are you single right now?” The 27-year-old reptile wrangler and former contestant from *Love Island USA* promptly replied, “No,” confirming that he is indeed in a relationship. This revelation comes in the wake of a tumultuous fourth season, which had viewers captivated.

Rausch’s castmate, Candiace Dillard Bassett, inquired further about the duration of his relationship, to which he divulged that he and his partner had been seeing each other for “almost two months.” Cohen couldn’t resist teasing, saying, “Wow, at the moment you become America’s heartthrob, you lock it down,” to which Rausch, with a touch of humour, responded, “Just my luck.”

In an interview with *The Cut*, shared the day prior to the reunion, Rausch elaborated on his relationship while maintaining a certain degree of privacy regarding his girlfriend’s identity. He noted that he was engrossed in a woodworking project for her, reflecting his commitment to their partnership.

Before finding his current romance, Rausch had a turbulent history with love, having appeared on *Love Island USA* in both the fifth and sixth seasons. In June 2025, he made headlines again when he decided against participating in *Love Island: Beyond the Villa*, citing his location outside Los Angeles as a significant factor in his decision.

Reflecting on his time in the franchise, Rausch labelled himself as an “extremely polarizing person.” He expressed that while some viewers resonated with him, others misinterpreted his actions and intentions. “I think there’s a lot of people that understood me, and there were a lot of people who didn’t understand me at all,” he shared in an interview with *GQ*. Rausch did acknowledge making mistakes during his appearances, admitting, “I definitely did not handle things well,” but maintained he was doing his best at the time.

Rausch’s experience in Scotland for *The Traitors* was noteworthy. Initially, he had turned down multiple invitations to join the show before deciding to participate in its fourth season. Throughout this time, he skillfully crafted a reputation as a devious traitor, earning attention and criticism alike.

Looking to the future, Rausch expressed openness to taking on new reality show opportunities. “I’ll probably do another show,” he mused after *The Traitors* reunion, adding that financial security for his future family also influenced his decisions. Yet, the aspirational side of him expressed a desire for freedom from the spotlight, summarising a conflict between career ambitions and personal aspirations: “But a big part of me just wants to, like, f— off.”

Fans keen on catching up with *The Traitors* can now stream the entire fourth season on Peacock, where both the finale and the reunion are available. As Rausch navigates the challenges of reality television and personal relationships, audiences remain eager to see what his next steps will be in both love and the competitive arena.
