Boston Rob and Amber Mariano are still going strong after all these years. The beloved Survivor couple made a rare public appearance together at the 2025 Kentucky Derby.

The Marianos famously met and fell in love while competing on Survivor: All Stars in 2004. Boston Rob and Amber recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in April, and they opened up about their private romance.

“We have four daughters, and they make us so happy, and we stick together as a family,” Amber told Access. “We do everything together, and we just always have so much fun, so I really think that’s just what solidified us. Twenty years has flown by. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years. We’ve had so much fun, made so many great memories, and we’re looking forward to more.”

Boston Rob added, “Every day is fun. That’s how our relationship started. We kind of started on a place, on an island, where everything was hard, so after that everything was better and easier, and it has been ever since.”

The couple got married in 2005 and have since welcomed four daughters: Lucia, Carina, Isabetta, and Adelina. When asked about following her husband’s lead and possibly joining the cast of The Traitors, Amber said she wouldn’t immediately turn it down, but she enjoys “staying home with my girls and being that solid person for them.”

She gushed that “Rob does so well with all the shows that I trust him to go out and always do a great job.”

Now that they have some downtime, the couple checked off one of their bucket list to-dos: the Kentucky Derby. “She’s been asking to come for a long time, and we just celebrated our 20th anniversary, so we’re making it happen,” Boston Rob revealed.

Amber noted that she grew up watching the Kentucky Derby with her dad, so getting to see it all go down in person was a dream come true.
