Rausch celebrated by buying an Hermès Birkin bag for his Traitors co-star Maura Higgins with help from Lisa Rinna – but he’s off the market

The fourth season of hit reality TV show The Traitors has ended, with Rob Rausch crowned as the winner. The 27-year-old snake wrangler earned heartthrob status on the show – but revealed at the reunion that he’s taken. This was shocking to many, including host Andy Cohen, especially considering Rausch’s chemistry with his Traitors co-star Maura Higgins, for whom he bought an Hermès Birkin bag after the show, reports JustJared.
The Dancing on Ice alum revealed Rausch had promised to gift her the handbag, and he followed through with a little help from Lisa Rinna. The Love Island USA star even admitted to flirting with Higgins. However, his heart actually belongs to a mystery woman whom he has reportedly been dating since December 2025, per People.
