As the episodes continued, Rob had a wandering eye and went on to connect with other women – including bombshell Andrea – who was quickly eliminated.
Due to this, Rob and Leah called off their relationship and by the end, they remained friends.
However, many fans were dying to see the two make amends and get back together despite Leah moving on with another man, Miguel Harichi.
‘SHE’S AN AMAZING PERSON’
During the interview, Alex asked, “The entire world wanted you guys to end up together.
“Would you ever try to make it work in the real world?”
The TikTok star tried to let the world down easy, “I think after everything, I think we will be amazing friends, and I think I’d rather just focus on that for now.
“Love being around her. She’s an amazing person. So f***ing funny. I am laughing the whole time I’m with her usually.
“But I also think Miguel is a really great guy. I love Miguel.
“I think that we’re great friends and that’s a great spot to be [in] and I’m happy with it.
I’m content in that I would be content being friends with her,” he concluded.
I think that we’re great friends and that’s a great spot to be [in] and I’m happy with it.

Just days before Rob’s interview went live, Miguel talked about his future with Leah.
“Leah is an incredible woman. [We] get along in a way that I wasn’t expecting to ever get along with anybody in the villa,” he revealed to Us Weekly.
“We have such similarities, our banter is the same. She understands my goofy side. She understands me for who I am. She took me away [with] how incredible of a person she is.”
He went on to discuss that he wants to move forward with Leah and see where their relationship takes them.
“She’s definitely someone that I’ll hold dear for, I think, the rest of my life,” he said.
Leah and Miguel made it to the end of the show but didn’t win.
Serena Page and Kordell Beckham won the huge $100,000 prize.
