Rob Rausch has given up matters of the heart and is now focused on deception, treachery, and murder. The Love Island USA star was chosen to be a Traitor in the Season 4 premiere of the Peacock series alongside Bravo stars Lisa Rinna and Candiace Dillard Bassett. Initially, fans were unsure what to make of the selection. We wondered why Alan Cumming chose a Love Island USA star over Big Brother and Survivor alums. Rob may have experience playing with people’s emotions (justice for Leah Kateb), but he is not a “gamer” in the reality TV sphere. However, I’m happy to report that Rob has surpassed our expectations. He has proven to be a stealthy Traitor, successfully pulling off a murder in plain sight in Episode 2.
If you somehow missed the cultural phenomenon that was Season 6 of Love Island USA, you may be in need of a Rob Rausch crash course. But don’t worry, we have you covered. Here’s what you need to know about The Traitors star.
Who is The Traitor’s Rob Rausch?
Rob Rausch made his reality TV debut on Season 5 of Love Island USA. He entered the Villa during Casa Amor week as one of the eligible bachelors hoping to steal one of the ladies away from their man. The Alabama native was not chosen to enter the Villa, but he left a lasting impression on fans. He returned to the show the following season as an OG, entering the Villa on day one. Rob formed an immediate connection with fan favorite Leah Kateb, but in typical Love Island fashion, a bombshell distracted Rob and the romance crumbled. After the Leah split, Rob had a series of short flings on the show, but ultimately left the show single.
How old is Rob Rausch?
Rob is currently 27 years old. He was born on September 1, 1998, making him a Virgo. People with his astrological sign are said to be practical, analytical, and detail-oriented. Traits that are very helpful in a game like The Traitors.
What does Rob Rausch do for a job?
Rob is a professional snake wrangler in Florence, Alabama. He uses his social media to promote his business, frequently sharing videos of him handling snakes. He even has a few snake tattoos to show his dedication. In addition to his primary gig, Rob created the clothing brand Creek Rat with his sister, Lily. According to the shop’s website, the brand includes “thrifted items that they screen print by hand” and “a few staples that they have manufactured.”
What is Rob Rausch’s relationship status?
It appears that Rob is currently single. He has not gone public with anyone since the conclusion of Love Island USA Season 6. In October 2025, Rob and fellow Islander Andrea Carmona sparked romance rumors after they were photographed together in Miami. However, a source told TMZ the run-in was a coincidence and they are not dating.
