    The Amazing Race has matched competitors of every type on a race around the world since its debut in 2001.

    Most of the couples that have appeared in The Amazing Race have remained in lifetime relationships after their world tour, while some couples have separated after the cameras were turned off.

    Over the years, the spectators have become curious about how many of those relationships endured the physical, mental, and emotional weight of the race, and what the contestants are doing now.
