Who says true love doesn’t exist on reality TV? While it seems to be a trend for many reality TV marriages to end in divorce, there are still some reality TV couples out there who beat the odds!

Sometimes it’s all about meeting the right person at the right time. That seemed to be the case before Big Brother‘s Nicole Franzel And Victor Arroyo. The reality stars met while filming season 18 of Big Brother in 2016. The timing was off – she had a showmance with Corey Brooks, but they broke up shortly after the season ended. She later met Arroyo at an event and they started dating in June 2017. When they were both returned to the Big Brother house in 2018, he suggested. In 2021, she revealed that they are expecting their first child.

The Big Brother house also served as the hangout for couple from season 12, Rachel Reilly And Brendon Villegaswho got married and now has two children. Jessica Graaf And Cody Nickson met on season 19 of the CBS show and are now married with two children as well.

Big Brother alum Paulie Calafiore also found love in reality TV – years after the show ended. He met Cara Maria Sobello in 2018 on season 32 of The challenge. Though the couple had a rocky relationship at first, they eventually stuck together and now live in Montana.

“Boston Rob” Mariano Met Amber Brick from 2003 Survivor: All-Stars. The duo immediately started dating and got married in 2005. Not only have they participated in multiple other reality shows together, but they are also the proud parents of four children.

Other couples go on to reality TV as a couple — and somehow still make it out. Javen Butler And Shari Ligons joined season 1 of temptation island to take their relationship further and it worked perfectly, ending in an engagement. They also launched a podcast together.
