How did Michele Fitzgerald and Devin Walker meet?
Michele and Devin first met during Season 37 of The Challenge in 2021. She was a rookie, and he was a veteran, and they played in opposing alliances at first. They got to know each other more when they both returned for Season 38.
Season 39, which Devin was not on, was Michele’s breakout year, and although she was a controversial player that season, she also began making a name for herself in The Challenge world. Before filming Season 40 in 2024, she and Devin went on their first date, and then she went to visit him. They went into filming that season having “feelings for each other,” she revealed on Rob Has a Podcast.
Although they hadn’t defined the relationship at that point, they decided to go for it during filming. Michele told People she was “cautious” about getting into a showmance, but joked, “When you’re stuck in a castle, and there’s a Prince Charming, you just have to.”
When Devin was eliminated from Season 40, he left Michele a note professing his love, and they’ve been together ever since!
Do Michele Fitzgerald and Devin Walker live together?
No, they currently do not live together. Michele resides in Hoboken, New Jersey, while Devin lives in Massachusetts. However, between taking trips together and traveling to visit one another often, they’ve been able to make the long-distance relationship work.
