After his big win, fans did a deep-dive into Rob‘s background, discovering members of his family on social media.

Among the Rausch’s dug up by pseudo sleuths online was Rob’s father, Robert Rausch Sr.

He is a luxury designer and photographer who has won awards for his work.

Robert has worked with well-known brands like Anthropologie and Hilton.

In addition to being well-accomplished, fans noted that Rob’s father is also extremely handsome.

Well-known TikToker @Bran_flakeszz posted a video featuring several photos of Robert.

He placed text over the photos read: “Why aren’t we talking about Rob Rauch’s DAD(DY)?”

The influencer dubbed Rob’s father a “silver king,” rather than simply a silver fox – a term of endearment for a handsome grey-haired man.

“Maura could do the funniest thing right now,” joked one commenter.

Another fan wrote: “BUT WHY AREN’T WE. WHY ISN’T THE WHOLE FAMILY BEING TALKED ABOUT. HELLO HIS BROTHER. HELLO HIS SISTER.”

“Oh we’ve been talking about him since love island,” a second supporter posted.

A third wondered: “Is he married?”

“STOP,” joked a fourth commenter.

Someone else wrote: “I blame you for the rabbit hole I just went down.”

Stepping away

After winning on Traitors and winning over the hearts of Americans on Love Island, Rob is reportedly planning to step away from the reality TV spotlight.

The snake wrangler confessed to Interview that fame is “not great” for his mental health.

He has been adamant that in the longterm, he plans to step away from the limelight.

“To be honest, this is not great for my mental health in any way, shape or form,” he said.

“I haven’t been to the gym. I haven’t been in a routine. And that’s not a life I really want. I don’t know if TV is good for me.

“But then another part of me is like, ‘Rob, just stick it out. Do this for five years then you can settle down.’ But it’s like, when does that end?”

He also opened up about his love of farm life, revealing that growing up with his grandpa on a farm in Alabama was formative for him.

Love life

While it’s unclear if Rob’s father is on the market, he certainly is not.

After winning The Traitors, Rob revealed that he is taken.

Earlier this week, he soft-launched his girlfriend, giving a little more insight into their relationship.

He posted a photo of his girlfriend on Instagram, showing the brunette beauty enjoying a day at the museum.

She posed with her back to the camera, looking over the railing at exhibits below.

Rob didn’t include a caption or tag his girlfriend in the snap.

While he’s been open about his relationship status, Rob has been careful to keep his girlfriend’s identity under wraps.
