Who Was Rob Rausch Coupled With During ‘Love Island’ Season 6?
Leah Kateb was smitten by Rob from the start, and it wasn’t shocking when she stepped up to couple up together during day one. The two were seemingly a match made in heaven as she was the animal lover to his love for reptiles. As they say, they matched each other’s freak.
However, bombshell No. 1, Liv Walker, disrupted the peace and progression in Leah and Rob’s romance when she chose to partner with him, leaving the Calabasas native single. Given it was the first few days in the villa, Rob continued to explore connections with both women. When the first recoupling ceremony arrived, Rob chose Leah to partner with.
Right after overcoming their first challenge in the villa, they faced the same obstacle when bombshells Nicole Jacky and Andrea Carmona shifted the dynamic with their entrance.
Rob was chosen by Andrea to go on a one-on-one date and sparks instantly flew, especially after their steamy beachside kiss. He eventually told Leah that he was interested in Andrea too and found himself in a love triangle. After chatting with Andrea for another day, he stood up to partner with her during the next recoupling ceremony.
The two were on a steady track in their new relationship but their time was cut short when America voted Andrea and Rob as one of the bottom three couples. After host Ariana Madix revealed that the guys had to choose one male costar to boot out of the villa, the girls had to do the same with the females.
Andrea was eliminated and after Rob made an explosive reaction and threatened to leave with his lady, he ended up staying in the villa.
Now, Rob is single and Leah is circling around to reclaim her territory.
