But long before cameras starting rolling, the pair was strengthening their bond in private. 

"Recently we celebrated one whole year together and I couldn't be more blessed to have this amazing human in my life 24/7," Amber wrote on Instagram in September. "I literally fell in love with someone that I had no intentions of falling for and it's honestly the most beautiful kind of love. No forcing chemistry, just pure, raw connection that is created on its own."

Amber first competed on MTV's The Challenge: Double Agents season in 2020 when she won $900,000. She also appeared on season 16 of Big Brother in 2014 before being evicted on day 42.
