Are Michele Fitzgerald and Devin Walker still together? A look at 'The Challenge' Season 40 stars' romance
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Since the Season 40 shooting concluded, viewers of 'The Challenge' have noted that Michele Fitzgerald and Devin Walker have been spending a lot of time together. Do they have a relationship?
Devin is seeing Michele. After the couple shared pictures of themselves together at the end of May, she announced their romance on her Instagram Story on June 6, 2024.
A fan commented, "Post you and Devin, we stan," during one of Michele's Q&As. To which she responded, "LOL FINEEEEEEE. To answer ALL of your questions, that’s my boyfriend."
She additionally provided a picture of them sharing a kiss. Following their relationship's public disclosure, the two didn't hesitate to share more stuff on social media about it.
How did 'The Challenge’ stars Devin Walker and Michele Fitzgerald meet?
Michele debuted on 'The Challenge' during Season 37 ('Spies, Lies & Allies') in 2021. She had previously competed on 'Survivor' seasons 32 and 40.
Devin participated that season as well. But at the time, Devin and Michele were at odds, and they even got into a fight when Michele wouldn't play the game the way he wanted her to.
Once again, both reality stars were back for 'Ride or Dies' Season 38, which Devin and his companion Tori Deal won. Nevertheless, there didn't appear to be any sparks between them either.
Devin and Michele didn't start dating until they were filming 'Battle of the Eras', Season 40, in the spring of 2024. Fans will learn more about the beginning of the romance as each season of the show airs starting on August 14, 2024, when it begins.
'The Challenge' star Michele Fitzgerald had multiple showmances over the years
Michele experienced a few previous reality television romances before she fell in love with Devin. In the 2020 season of 'Survivor: Winners at War’, which was recorded this past summer, she disclosed that she had dated Wendell Holland, a prior competitor.
Things were a little awkward when they were stuck together on the program, even if their romance was short-lived. It was made public in the autumn of 2020 that Michele was seeing another 'Survivor' competitor, Dean Kowalski, the 39th-season runner-up.
But before she departed to begin filming 'Spies, Lies & Allies' at the start of 2021, they broke up. Michele appeared in television shows with Callum Izzard ('Battle for a New Champion') and Emanuel Neagu ('Spies, Lies & Allies'), but neither star's career took off when the shows concluded.
After shooting 'Ride or Dies', she was also temporarily connected to Faysal Shafaat, which resulted in her falling out with Amanda Garcia, another one of his flings.
Who did 'The Challenge' star Devin Walker date before meeting Michele Fitzgerald?
The third season of ‘Are You the One?' introduced Devin to viewers in 2015. He made an effort to court Kiki Cooper, a fellow cast member, even though they weren't the right fit.
Rashida Beach was Devin's ideal match, although they never went romantically. Devin dated Shannon Duffy on the third season of 'Ex on the Beach' in 2019.
Once filming was over, they remained together, but eventually, their distance caused them to break up. Devin briefly dated Jessica Brody in 2023. Brody had previously been on 'The Challenge: Australia' and was ousted in the first episode of 'The Challenge' Season 39.
'The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras' premieres Wednesday, August 14, at 8 pm ET/PT on MTV
