Recalling the challenges faced during filming, Rylan, 36, mentioned an incident where he was bitten on the face by a mosquito upon arrival, leading to a swollen cheek resembling a golf ball. The hectic schedule and unfamiliar surroundings added to the chaotic experience, with Rylan describing it as a whirlwind adventure.

Despite the tensions between them, Rylan emphasized that he and Rob are still close friends. They also addressed ongoing rumors about their relationship status, dismissing speculations of engagement and fake wedding photos, with Rylan humorously stating his affection for Rob but ruling out marriage.

In a recent interview, Rylan confirmed being in a new relationship following his split from Dan Neal in 2021.
