The Traitors USA Season 4 winner has been revealed, and we are not surprised that it’s none other than ‘Mr. Wrangler himself. Yes! 27-year-old Rob Rausch, who turned out to be one of the highest-voted candidates of this season, walked away from the drama-filled competition, sealing his win with a death-defying jump on the last mission.
With his historic win, the self-acclaimed ‘Snake Man’ has grabbed even more attention among his female fans, who had been swooning over him since his Love Island USA days in seasons 5 and 6. While he left both seasons without a lasting relationship, fans are wondering whether The Traitors Season 4 winner finally has a loved one in his life.
Throughout this season of The Traitors USA, fans couldn’t help but notice his chemistry with fellow contestant Maura Higgins. As they grew closer toward the end of the competition, many viewers became convinced that a real romance might be developing. Although the pair occasionally played along with the speculation, they have since made it clear that their relationship is purely platonic.
Is Rob Rausch dating anyone?
We know, we know, many ladies have been wishing that the 27-year-old wrangler were single, but, sorry to burst the bubble, Rob Rausch is officially taken. Yes! While The Traitors winner tends to keep his personal life private, he has confirmed in a new interview with The Cut that he is a committed guy and is very much in a relationship. An excerpt from the report sharing his plans after the competition reads:
“He’s building his own home in Florence, not too far from his family, where he plans to have lots of windows and a big open living space to house all his creative pursuits. He’s currently working on a woodworking project for his girlfriend, whose identity he’s keeping private for now. Once he’s done with TV, he may return to his childhood dream of being a firefighter.”
So, what do we actually know about Rob Rausch’s dating life? Well, the Snake Man has chosen not to reveal her name or share further details yet. For now, he has chosen to keep his girlfriend’s identity a mystery, and it’s no surprise that it has already sent internet sleuths into full detective mode, trying to uncover who she is. A TikTok account called Bravo Breaking News by Kim claimed Rob is allegedly dating a woman named Chloe from Kansas City, reportedly around 21 or 22 years old and working as an esthetician. However, the information hasn’t been officially confirmed.
All the women Rob Rausch has dated (or has been linked with) over the years
Not much is known about Rob Rausch’s dating history before his reality TV fame, but he has surely become a chic magnet ever since appearing on Love Island USA. The popular dating reality show documented every high-profile “coupling” of Rausch that barely lasted outside the villa.
His most famous connection was with fellow contestant Leah Kateb from Love Island Season 6. The two instantly hit it off from their first meeting on the show, and they became a fan-favourite pair early on. However, the connection didn’t last long, and by the end of the season, they dramatically parted ways when Rob pursued a new connection with Andrea Carmona. The former couple has since kept a friendly bond. Speaking about how they reached a mutual understanding, Leah told PEOPLE that she and Rob “had to go through a lot to get to where [they] are now, to even be able to be friends.”
Rob left Leah to pursue a connection with Andrea Carmona in the second half of Love Island Season 6, but it didn’t come to fruition after other girls voted the latter out of the show. After the season, in 2025, rumors were rife that they had tried to rekindle things, but Rob later mentioned on the Call Her Daddy podcast that “it’s probably better if we just kind of keep our distance for now.”
Rob first met Kassy Castillo in Season 5’s Casa Amor and was coupled up again in Season 6. They remained a couple till the end, finishing in sixth place. However, later, at the reunion episode, both confirmed that they were no longer dating. Before Kassy, Rob was also briefly coupled with Cassidy Laudano, Liv Walker, and Daniela Ortiz-Rivera, but none of the connections lasted.
Addressing the latest buzz around Rob Rausch’s love life, many fans had hoped to see sparks fly between him and Maura Higgins during The Traitors Season 4. Rumors quickly spread online, with TikToks speculating about a possible romance. However, when asked about it on Andy Cohen’s show, Higgins clarified they were just friends and never even flirted. Rob, however, playfully disagreed, saying he felt they had flirted a little. She said:
“The whole cast was saying it to us, weren’t they? We were genuinely just friends… We never, like, had a flirt.”
