Rob Rausch from Love Island USA and Nessa Barrett might be dating!

In a classic Love Island USA to clout chaser pipeline, Rob Rausch has been spotted with Nessa Barrett, despite claiming he’s “not ready” for a relationship anytime soon. Fans are divided about whether the two might genuinely be dating or whether it’s all about Rob trying to chase clout and Nessa wanting to promote her upcoming album release.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted that the pair both started following each other on Instagram shortly after Rob Rausch left the Love Island USA villa, and he was pictured with Nessa Barrett in a car shortly afterwards.

But it seems the two might just be hanging out as friends after he admitted he wasn’t sure he was ready for a new relationship while on the Call Her Daddy podcast. During the episode, he confessed: “I think, right now, at this point in time, I’m pretty emotionally drained. I don’t know if I’m ready for anything like that.”

Whilst host Alex Cooper asked whether he’d ever get back together with Leah, he revealed: “I think after everything, I think we will be amazing friends, and I think I’d rather just focus on that for now.” Nessa Barrett was previously linked to TikTok star Jaden Hossler but the two broke up after releasing a song together. She also spoke about the split on the Call Her Daddy podcast, reflecting: “It wasn’t anything sneaky. I felt like I just let my heart take control and it was not the best timing. But I don’t regret anything.”

But it seems not everyone likes the idea that the two might be dating, and some fans think he’s only hanging out with her for the “clout.” Fans took to Reddit to discuss the pair. One fan wrote: “It def seems like Rob wants that TikTok clout. I don’t think he cares about reality TV and I won’t be surprised if we don’t see him on another show. I think he wants to be in with that crowd.”

Another added: This man actually loves fame and attention despite what he claims. If he knew Leah had become this popular and famous during the show, he would never choose Andrea lol.” Looks like we’ll have to wait and see whether anything becomes of the pair.
