Rob Rausch, the winner of The Traitors season 4, followed through on his reunion promise by purchasing a Birkin bag for fellow finalist Maura Higgins. The shopping spree happened in New York City, where he was spotted with comedian Jake Shane. Maura has said the luxury handbag makes up for his on-show betrayal.
Oh, the drama never ends with these reality TV stars! Rob Rausch, the 27-year-old victor of The Traitors season 4, is proving he's not all traitor and no follow-through. After betraying Maura Higgins in the finale—where she trusted him as a Faithful until he revealed his true colors and snagged the prize money—he vowed during the reunion special to buy her a Birkin bag with his winnings. And honey, he delivered! 🔥
Photos from Wednesday, March 4, 2026, in New York City show Rob stepping out of Hermès after the purchase, arm-in-arm (well, shopping buddy style) with Therapuss podcast host and comedian Jake Shane. But wait, there's more tea: Maura spilled to The Hollywood Reporter that Lisa Rinna pulled some strings to make it happen. 'Lisa Rinna is helping him because obviously you can’t just walk in and buy a Birkin. But Lisa, the queen she is, she’s got contacts,' she said in an interview published that same day.
Maura couldn't be more thrilled about the consolation prize. 'I want my handbag and then he’s fully forgiven. I’m happy. He’s happy. He won the prize money. I won best dressed and a free Birkin Handbag. That’s a win. For me, that’s better than winning the show. I’m deadly serious when I say that,' she told THR. Talk about a win-win in the world of luxury and loyalty tests! As Traitors fans know, these two made it to the final two, with Maura's trust in Rob leading to that epic twist. Now, with the bag secured, is their post-show friendship locked in, or just another plot twist waiting to happen? 👀
