Did Caro and Ray break up?

Since the two signed up for Season 33 of The Amazing Race, Caro and Ray have gone their separate ways. Caro announced their breakup via YouTube just a few months after the country went into lockdown. In June 2020, the reality star posted a video that vaguely detailed the circumstances of their split.

“We’re not dating anymore,” she revealed. “It is sad because I do want to clarify that I really tried my hardest in this relationship, and I just don’t want to throw anybody under the bus. I don’t want to make my business be everybody’s business, but I guess I am because this is a YouTube video.”

“I just don’t feel like he was committed to the relationship how I was. And that’s why I decided to break up with him,” she added.

Now two years after first competing on The Amazing Race, Caro and Ray are still on the move. They both frequently document their travels via social media. Ahead of the Season 33 premiere, Ray gave a shoutout to Caro for “being a savage” and “showing the world her competitive side”.

Ray also said that the couple ended on good terms, but there’s no indication that they'll be rekindling their relationship anytime soon. Fans are disappointed that the ex-Love Islanders won’t be finishing the competition together, but they weren’t the only ones who were missing in action during the Jan. 19 episode of The Amazing Race.
