Rob Rausch is officially off the market.

After winning the $220,800 prize on season 4 of The Traitors, the Alabama-raised reality star confirmed to reunion host Andy Cohen that he was in a relationship. And like the rest of the series fans who fell in love with the snake wrangler, the host was shocked.

"At the moment you become America's heartthrob, you lock it down," Cohen said. The reality star quipped back, "Just my luck."

Unlike the very public love triangle he found himself in with Leah Kateb and Andrea Carmona on season 6 of Love Island USA, Rausch has kept this romance private, choosing not to reveal his girlfriend's identity.

So who is Rob Rausch's girlfriend? Here's what we know about her relationship with the reality TV star.

During the season 4 Traitors reunion, Rausch confirmed that he had been in a relationship for the past two months.

Since the reunion was pre-taped and filmed on Feb. 12, according to contestant Lisa Rinna's TikTok, that would put the official start of his new romance sometime in December 2025.

Although he's been in the spotlight since appearing on season 6 of Love Island USA, Rausch also expressed that fame isn’t a major priority for him. He told GQ in February 2026 that though reality TV changed his life financially, he wouldn't mind stepping away from public attention.

"At the end of the day, I have to constantly remind myself, especially lately, that I don’t really care,” Rausch told the outlet. “If it ever got really bad, I would literally fall off the face of the earth, and it wouldn’t bother me at all.”

After winning The Traitors, Rob said in the finale that whoever is his next girlfriend would be, she would have to not be a big fan of reality TV — otherwise he might not have a great shot with her after all the lying he had to do on the show.

"Now I just have to find a nice girl that hasn't watched TV too much, then I think a nice farm, maybe some kids running around," he said. "I want to have a quiet life."

In a February 2026 interview with The Cut, Rausch revealed that he was in the middle of a woodworking project for his girlfriend. But like her identity, the Love Island alum didn't reveal any more details.

Rausch admitted to “flirting a bit” with Maura Higgins on The Traitors

Throughout the fourth season of The Traitors, fans felt the bond between Rausch and Maura Higgins was more than just strategic. However, when Cohen asked them point-blank if anything romantic had happened between them, they both said no.

“We were genuinely just friends," Higgins said, with Rausch chiming in, "Yeah, we never did anything."

Nothing physical may have occurred between the two, but the reality star did admit to a little harmless flirting during the show, despite Higgins insisting that they didn't.

“I mean, we probably flirted a little bit,” he said, later joking that he probably ruined his chance with Higgins after lying to her about being a traitor.
