Andrea Carmona’s Love Island USA Journey and Return to Reality TV
Andrea Carmona, a Miami-based singer, songwriter, and fitness instructor, gained fame as a bombshell on Love Island USA Season 6 in 2024. Despite being voted out by the female islanders after only six episodes—due to a love triangle with Rob Rausch—she made a lasting impression. She later returned for Love Island Games Season 2 in 2025, proving her resilience in the reality TV world.
Early Life and Education
Andrea Paola Carmona was born on 18 August 1999 in Miami, Florida, making her 26 years old as of June 2026. She is of Colombian and Cuban descent and holds American nationality. After high school, she attended Florida International University, earning an Associate of Arts degree in mass communication and media studies in 2022.
Career: From Fitness Instructor to Reality TV Star
Andrea works as a self-employed group fitness instructor at Bodytek Fitness, a role she has held since 2020. She began her career in 2015 at Piola USA restaurant and later worked as a front desk receptionist at Senses Body Waxing Studio (2016–2017) and a sales associate at Body By Loleta (2018–2020). Beyond fitness, she is a singer and songwriter, releasing her first single Irreplaceable in 2021 and Fuel featuring Andy Sikorski. She also shares cover performances of artists like Ariana Grande and The Weeknd on social media. Her online presence has grown significantly, with hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and TikTok, and she has partnered with brands such as Fashion Nova and PrettyLittleThing.
Love Island USA: The Love Triangle and Elimination
Andrea entered the Love Island villa in the second week of season six and quickly formed a connection with Rob Rausch, who was originally coupled with Leah Kateb. As their bond deepened, other islanders questioned her commitment to exploring other options. During a public vote, Andrea and Rob were among the couples at risk of elimination. The boys voted to eliminate Hakeem, but the girls chose Andrea, ending her time on the show. In an interview with Decider, Andrea expressed her shock: “I was blindsided and in shock. My emotions were all over the place. I just felt so cheated. I felt like my time on there was cut so short. The feelings I had for Rob in just a short amount of time made me want to see if it was real.” She added, “I wanted to see bombshells come in and test our connection. I just didn’t see the rejection coming, and I was definitely hurt by the girls. In that moment, I just kept saying: ‘I feel cheated. I feel cheated.’”
Life After Love Island: Relationship with Rob Rausch and DJ ACRAZE
Andrea and Rob are no longer together. After her elimination, Rob rekindled his connection with Leah Kateb. On the Call Her Daddy podcast, Rob stated, “I've been talking to her a little bit, but it's not like – I think, I think once again, it's probably better if we just kind of keep our distance for now. A lot has happened, and she's been posting a lot.” Currently, Andrea is dating Charlie Duncker, known professionally as DJ ACRAZE, a DJ and electronic dance music producer famous for his 2021 hit Do It To It. They went Instagram official in December 2025 but keep their relationship relatively private.
Andrea Carmona’s Future and Career Growth
Despite her short stint on Love Island, Andrea continues to build her career in music, fitness, and social media. She remains a memorable figure from the season, with her storyline creating one of the biggest dramas of the show. Her return in Love Island Games Season 2 further solidified her status as a reality TV personality.
