Rhode Island Newlyweds Set to Compete on The Amazing Race
A pair of newlyweds from Rhode Island, Megan and Matt Turner, are gearing up to hit the screen in the 38th season of “The Amazing Race.” This dynamic duo from Providence is ready to take on the challenges of the CBS competition show, with their debut set for September 25, according to the network.
Matt Turner, a former contestant on “Big Brother,” received an invitation to compete alongside his wife against 12 other “fan-favorite” houseguests from the show. When asked about this exciting opportunity, Matt shared on Instagram, “Genuinely, I feel honored that out of the ‘Big Brother’ players that were asked to go on, I was part of that group. That’s, like, crazy to me.”
The adventurous journey kicks off in Amsterdam as the couples embark on a thrilling escapade around Europe, facing various challenges along the way.
Megan and Matt Turner, hailing from the Ocean State, are 24 and 25 years old, respectively. These lovebirds tied the knot just a few months before teaming up as partners on “The Amazing Race.” While Megan works as a private jet specialist, Matt is a content creator who rose to fame by placing third on Season 24 of “Big Brother.”
In addition to his reality TV success, Matt has been sharing do-it-yourself furniture tutorials on social media, cultivating a loyal following. He recently opened up about his fitness journey, shedding excess weight, running 5Ks, and reclaiming control over his life. Sharing his progress on social media, Matt noted, “Even posting clips at the gym is so unlike me, and I know I still have a long way to go. But for now, it starts with this race.”
