Rob Rausch's Girlfriend Has Watched 'The Traitors'
He won 'The Traitors' Season 4.
During an appearance on Today alongside his costars Maura Higgins and Eric Nam, Rausch said his girlfriend has watched The Traitors.
Higgins added, "And she feels bad for me. I like her. A lot."
Before confirming his relationship, Rausch had set off dating rumors with Higgins. The two consistently downplayed the buzz.
"We were genuinely just friends," Higgins said, as Rausch jumped in, "Yeah, we never did anything… I mean, we probably flirted a little bit."
He later joked that lying about being a traitor likely ruined his chances with his costar.
In a separate interview with Us Weekly, the model said she was "not gonna ruin it for the viewers, but no, nothing ever happened between me and Rob."
"I genuinely look at Rob like a brother. Literally nothing ever happened. People online are saying I'm ‘d---matized.' Believe me, you would know if I was d---matized. If they think that's me flirting, then they do not know me, and they have never watched me on Love Island," Higgins continued.
