‘The Amazing Race' season 38 cast is full of ‘Big Brother' alums — including two sets of exes
'The Amazing Race' season 38 cast list looks more like an all-stars season of 'Big Brother.'
That's right, all 13 duos competing on season 38 contain at least one 'Big Brother' alum. There are even two sets of exes: season 24's Taylor Hale and Joseph Abdin and season 26's Tucker Des Lauriers and Rubina Bernabe.
Although Taylor and Joseph had a budding showmance on 'Big Brother 24,' it wasn't until the season ended that they actually started dating. The pair called it quits in 2023, but they have remained friends. Taylor will be competing on 'The Amazing Race' with new boyfriend and 'Big Brother 23' alum Kyland Young, while Joseph is teamed up with his brother, Adam Abdin.
Tucker and Rubina's breakup is more fresh. After being nearly inseparable on 'Big Brother 26,' the duo continued dating in the real world. They announced their split in May, with Rubina sharing via her Instagram broadcast channel that she felt 'grateful' for the time they spent together.
Rubina is competing on 'The Amazing Race' with her sister, Kristine Bernabe, while Tucker is teamed up with his brother, Eric Des Lauriers.
