Who is Louise Rodrigues? 'The Amazing Race' host Phil Keoghan's wife is a producer
‘The Amazing Race’ is finally back for another season and fans are beyond excited to see one of their favorite reality TV show back on screen. In 2020, the makers decided to cancel the show due to a massive surge in Covid-19 across the globe. However, the show is set to premiere Season 33 in January 2022 and it’s going to be an enthralling ride once again.
The show will be featuring 11 teams of two in a race around the world for a US$1 million grand prize. The teams literally travel around the world and perform tasks to win the show. Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs, while the first team to arrive at the end of the final leg wins the grand prize. The series is being hosted by Phil Keoghan since the first season and he has been an integral part of the show as he is not just the host, he is also one of the producers on the show.

Despite being a famous name in the entertainment world, not a lot is known about his personal life, especially about his wife. So, let’s dig a little deeper and get to know more about Phil’s significant other.
Who is Louise Rodrigues?
Rodrigues and Keoghan met each other in New Zealand while they were both working on a show called ‘That’s Fairly Interesting’. The show couldn’t be successful and got canceled, but their relationship remained intact. They tied the knot after being in a relationship for a few years. In a 2002 interview, Keoghan revealed that he has been married to Rodrigues for nearly ten years, suggesting that they exchanged their vows in 1993. It means they have now been married for more than 25 years now.
Rodrigues was born in Australia and spent most of her childhood there. However, there is a dearth of information about her personal life because she doesn’t like to share much on the internet. But one thing we know about her is that she has produced some of the finest TV shows and has also worked with her husband on several projects.
One of the TV shows Rodrigues and Keoghan produced was titled ‘No Opportunity Wasted’ and debuted on the Discovery Channel in 2004. Keoghan was also the host of the reality TV series while Rodrigues served as an executive producer. Apart from that, Rodrigues has worked as a producer on several shows such as ‘The Making of a Child Star’, ‘Phil Rides Across America’, ‘Aerial New Zealand’, and ‘Flying High with Phil Keoghan’.
They also created a show called ‘Tough as Nails’ together and used their social media. Unfortunately, they don’t work together on ‘The Amazing Race’. Rodrigues and Keoghan also partnered on BUCKiT, a podcast that debuted in 2018. In this podcast, Rodrigues used to interview people who are living their life to the fullest by achieving what they wanted to.
Rodrigues has been a pillar of strength for Keoghan in his life and has always helped him whenever he needed it. The couple lives with their daughter in Los Angeles, California, while also owning homes in Westport and Matarangi, New Zealand.
Season 33 of ‘The Amazing Race’ will be premiering exclusively on CBS on Wednesday, January 5, 2022, at 8 pm EST.
