‘The Challenge’ Couples in Real Life
There’s something about the heat of intense competition that brings people together, it seems, because there are a lot of relationships that are made on the set of The Challenge.
Sometimes, it’s a bae for the stay situation, where couples will come together while filming a season and then fizzle out shortly thereafter. Other times, there are meaningful relationships formed, even if it doesn’t last forever. Meanwhile, some relationships on The Challenge ended in tragedy — Chris C.T. Tamburello and Diem Brown, for example, as she died from cancer complications after they reunited on the set of Battle of the Exes II. Occasionally, they end in friendships, like Veronica Portillo and Rachel Robinson, who were a couple for years and recently reunited for All Stars 4 as allies and tight-knit friends, with no sign of animosity between them. And once in a while, the bond that’s formed between challengers is completely endgame. In all cases, the feelings are always intense to watch unfold.
Here are the couples from The Challenge who are currently together.
Devin Walker and Michele Fitzgerald
Competing on The Challenge Season 40 must have been a romantic experience for these two, as she confirmed that they are now dating on Instagram stories.
Olivia Kaiser and Theo Campbell
Season 40 also evidently brought these two together because Olivia shared an Instagram story of the two in several steamy moments together.
Averey Tressler and Adam Larson
After partnering up on All Stars 4, these two found a romantic connection. After co-star Ryan Kehoe shared a snap of the two enjoying a smooch in the hot tub, Tressler confirmed their relationship on Instagram.
Nurys Mateo and Horacio Gutiérrez Jr.
These two became an item on The Challenge Season 39 and have been serving smiles ever since.
Nany Gonzales and Kaycee Clark
After forming a deep (and flirty) friendship on the set of Total Madness, these two returned as romantic partners on Spies, Lies & Allies. They are now engaged to be married and plan to start a family.
Fans were along for the bumpy ride that was the early relationship between these two, who met on Battle of the Exes II and started dating on and off throughout subsequent season. They have since gotten married and have three children together.
Cara Maria Sorbello and Paulie Calafiore
After becoming friends on Final Reckoning, these two became a power couple and returned to compete together on both War of the Worlds and War of the Worlds 2. They now live together and are planning to have a family.
Kam Williams and Leroy Garrett

Rachel Campos and Sean Duffy
The most lasting relationship to come from The Challenge yet is this couple, who first met on Season 1 and got married soon thereafter. They now have nine children together.
