Rob Rausch admits he’s off the market after reunion

This relationship began before the reunion, Rausch said, and he has kept his partner’s identity private.
Clues from earlier interviews: woodworking for a special person
Rausch had hinted at his private life in a February interview. He mentioned working on a woodworking project for his girlfriend.
- He described the project as a personal gift.
- He repeatedly declined to name the woman publicly.
- The remark matched his reunion admission.
Maura Higgins and Rob address dating rumors on the record
Both stars spoke to press after the reunion. Maura, who reached the finale with Rausch, denied any off-camera romance.
She pushed back on online speculation and framed their bond as close friendship. Rausch echoed that stance and insisted they never physically hooked up beyond friendly moments while filming.
Fans questioned a specific moment on the show
Viewers pointed to episode nine as proof of flirtation. The pair handled the claim directly.
- Rausch said he was holding furniture, not touching Maura’s leg.
- Maura confirmed he only helped physically when needed, like carrying her up a hill in episode four.
The betrayal twist: how the finale played out and the prize
On the show’s climax, Rausch revealed he had been a traitor from the start. That move let him claim the full prize chest.
He walked away with $220,800, a turn that shocked co-stars and viewers alike.
A lighthearted post-finale promise: the Birkin bag
After the betrayal, Maura joked that a Birkin handbag would be her path to forgiveness. She said owning that bag would make her feel like she’d won despite not taking the cash prize.
Rausch responded that he plans to follow through on that playful promise and is working to source the luxury bag for her.
Lisa Rinna enters the storyline to help secure the bag
Rausch revealed a surprising ally: Lisa Rinna. He said Rinna could help open doors to buy a Birkin, noting the process is complex.
He described their collaboration as being “in cahoots,” and admitted finding the purchase more difficult than expected.
