NESSA Barrett’s fans have issued a warning after the singer was spotted with Love Island USA contestant Rob Rausch.
American singer-songwriter Nessa, 21, and snake wrangler Rob, 25, were photographed driving around Los Angeles in a convertible on July 23, just days after the Love Island USA finale was aired.
Eagle-eyed Instagram users also pointed out that Rob and Nessa are following each other, sparking speculation that they’re dating.
“Am i a freak for noticing that he followed her and suspected something was gonna go on,” a fan comment read.
As the image of Rob and Nessa began circulating online, fans expressed their concern for the “Counting Crimes” singer and urged her to “run as fast as you can.”
“NESSA RUN! RUN GIRL! RUN!” one TikTok user wrote.
Another comment read, “No I need to grab onto her shoulders and look into her eyes [crying emoji].”
“Nessa you wanna burn baby?” a third person commented.
Others speculated that the duo are working together, suggesting Rob might appear in the music video for Nessa’s new single Passenger Princess that releases on Friday.
One person wrote, “It’s clearly for a music video she will drop a song in like 1 day [crying emoji] and it’s ‘passengers princess’ like it makes sense.”
“I’m pretty sure it’s for Nessa‘s new song passenger princess I think they’re probably shooting a music video or something,” another comment read.
Reacting to the picture of Rob and Nessa, some people highlighted the Love Island star’s recent comments about not being ready for a new relationship during a recent episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast.
While reflecting on being a part of season six’s messiest love triangle, Rob told host Alex Cooper, “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.”
Love Island fans thought Rob would go the distance with fellow contestant Leah Kateb, after the duo coupled up during the first episode of season six.
Their budding relationship hit a speed bump when bombshell Andrea Carmona managed to steal Rob away from Leah, leaving her single and heartbroken.
In a new podcast appearance, Lead admitted she was “mortified” by some of the comments Rob made about their connection, including that he “felt no sexual chemistry” with her.
Rob has denied saying that.
Who is Love Island USA’s Rob Rausch?
Rob Rausch turned heads as a Casa Amor bombshell during season five, before returning to the Love Island villa for another shot at love.
- He was born in Florence, Alabama, where he continues to reside.
- Rob works as a snake wrangler, finding and relocating reptiles so they have a better chance of survival.
- Rob, who was raised on a farm with his three siblings, has always been passionate about wildlife.
- Appearing on Love Island USA season six, Rob quickly formed a connection with Leah Kateb, before bombshell Andrea Carmona stole him away.
- The 25-year-old didn’t find a lasting connection on the show and is currently single.
“Every bad thing I ever thought about myself literally just swarming in my head,” Leah told Alex on the most recent episode of Call Her Daddy.
“I’ve never felt that embarrassed in my life. I felt so unwanted, so gross.
“Literally every bad thing I’ve thought about myself was confirmed in that moment,” she admitted.
Leah brought her Love Island connection with Miguel Harichi into the outside world, after they finished the show as first runners-up.
Miguel gave fans an update about their relationship in an interview with Rolling Stone, explaining, “This is a one day at a time type thing. I definitely feel us getting closer.”
Despite initially coupling up with Leah, Rob’s head was turned by Andrea after she entered the Love Island villa.
The Alabama native recoupled with Andrea, before she was dumped six days later in a shock elimination.
Nessa was previously in a relationship with TikTok star Jaden Hossler, with the former couple moving in together in January 2022.
Shortly after, they issued a joint statement announcing their decision break up “to take time to focus on our own careers & mental heath.”
