The Amazing Race Season 12: Where Are The Contestants Now?

‘The Amazing Race’ is a CBS reality show created by Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster that was first released in 2001. Featuring teams of two, the show has become beloved since its premiere, with each season entertaining the viewers in its own way. Consider the twelfth installment of the series, which aired in 2007 and has eleventh pairs competing against each other.

TK Erwin and Rachel Rosales Are Leading a Quiet Life Now

At the very start, we have Thomas Kyle “TK” Erwin and Rachel Rosales, the then-new couple who won season 12 of the CBS show. While the two do not seem very active on social media, they seem to have had a legal dispute in 2019 over a shared property. From what we can gather, the case in question was about a property that the two owned together, with Rachel wanting to sell the same.

The case was apparently settled outside the court, though all of this seems to indicate that things might have ended well for their relationship. Additionally, Rachel disclosed that she became a mother to a little boy in May 2023 but has kept most details regarding the same private. She is presently affiliated with Cahoots Events as a Co-Founder and is the mind behind Rachel Wilkerson Ceramics.
