Rob Rausch is faithful to his heart, but he's keeping the details to a minimum.
The Traitors star has confirmed his relationship status following an explosive season 4 finale and reunion, both of which arrived on Thursday, Feb. 26.
The 27-year-old reptile wrangler and Love Island alum — whose treacherous ways made him a standout on The Traitors this winter — gave some insight into his personal life during the reunion.
"No," Rausch responded when host Andy Cohen asked him if he was "single right now."
Castmate Candiace Dillard Bassett then asked Rausch, "how long" he'd been seeing his significant other, and he confirmed it's been going on for "almost two months."
"Wow, at the moment you become America's heartthrob, you lock it down," Cohen, 57, said.
"Just my luck," Rausch joked.

Rausch also gave some insight into his relationship status during an interview with The Cut, published the day before his final stint as a traitor. The article briefly mentioned that Rausch was working on a woodworking project for his girlfriend and that he had decided to keep her identity private for now.
The reality star was previously looking for love, appearing twice on Love Island USA, in both 2023's fifth season and the following season in 2024. In June 2025, Rausch revealed in an Instagram Live why he opted to turn down an appearance in Love Island: Beyond the Villa, calling the fact that he didn't reside in Los Angeles “the only reason."
Speaking with GQ about his time on Love Island in an interview published on Friday, Feb. 27, Rausch called himself an "extremely polarizing person" within the franchise.
“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, and read into certain things and thought certain things," he said. "But at the same time, I messed up on the show. I definitely did not handle things well. I was doing the best I could.”
Of course, Rausch went on to visit Scotland for his recent stint on The Traitors. As he told GQ, he had previously declined multiple offers to go on the show before agreeing to appear in season 4. Throughout the season, Rausch made a name for himself (mainly to fans, alerting very few in the actual castle) as a conniving traitor alongside the likes of Bassett and Lisa Rinna.
“I’ll probably do another show," Rausch told The Cut following the show. "It’s just so hard to say ‘no’ because, like, I don’t wanna look back ten years down the road and be like, 'Man, you could have set up your kids for college… ' [But a] big part of me just wants to, like, f— off.”
