Caro Viehweg and Ray Gantt, who competed on The Amazing Race season 33, have sparked curiosity about their current relationship status. The couple, who met and fell in love on Love Island USA, decided to put their relationship to the test on the popular reality TV show. Despite not participating in the upcoming season 36 of The Amazing Race, fans are eager to know if Caro and Ray are still together after nearly four years since their first competition.
Prior to their stint on The Amazing Race, Caro and Ray had already experienced reality TV fame on Love Island season 1 in the summer of 2019. Caro initially entered the villa on Day 1 and went through two partners before Ray joined on Day 15. The pair quickly became a beloved duo on the show but ultimately finished in third place, losing to Elizabeth Weber and Zac Mirabelli. Following the show's conclusion, Ray and Caro maintained their relationship despite the challenges of a long-distance romance - with him on the East Coast and her in Los Angeles.
