Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo’s Relationship Timeline: From ‘Big Brother’ to ‘Amazing Race’
Jul 19, 2025
Reality stars Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo go way, way back.
The duo, who recently opened up about their life together in Michigan with their son Arrow, kicked off their romance back in 2018, when the pair met as cast members on the 18th season of Big Brother. The couple didn’t actually begin a relationship at the time, but rekindled their friendship at the premiere of Big Brother season 19.
Since then, it’s been smooth sailing for the now family of three. Nicole and Victor have been through a lot — including a slew of reality shows — together, and the highs and lows of life both on- and off-camera has only made their bond stronger.
From Big Brother to Amazing Race, here’s a look at the relationship between Franzel and Arroyo.
September 2017
Nicole and Victor met when they each first appeared on the 18th season of Big Brother, even though they didn’t begin their relationship until after filming had wrapped.
“Everything came together for the premiere of Big Brother 19, where we were in New York and we just clicked,” Arroyo told ET in September 2017. “From then on, it was, I guess it was a love story, and now she’s my girlfriend.”
The pair spent a significant part of their early time together long-distance, since Nicole lived in Michigan and Victor lived in New Orleans. Victor also told ET at the time that the couple were taking their time to see how things between them would develop.
