Leroy Retired From ‘The Challenge’ While Kam Has Said She’s Open to Compete on the Show Again in the Future
The couple, who met on “The Challenge” in early 2018, has been going strong since “War of the Worlds 2” and celebrated their two-year anniversary in August 2021. In late 2020, they revealed that they’d moved to Houston together and signed a lease on a place.
They both appeared on “Double Agents,” where Leroy announced that he would be retiring from the show after 12 seasons. “These past years were filled with so many ups & down while filming,” he wrote after the last episode aired. “With memories I’ll never take for granted. It’s been beyond a blessing to travel across the world… Thank you so much @MTV for the opportunity, now I shall take this opportunity and run with it and start the next chapter of my life.”
Shortly afterward, he opened his own barbershop in Houston. Many fans have since asked Kam if she would return to the show without Leroy, especially since she didn’t appear on this season, “Spies, Lies and Allies.” In a recent Instagram Q&A, she told a fan, “People always think cause [Leroy] retired so did I. Lol I be like, ‘Who said dat?’ … I just want my business @kamkollection to be at a certain place where I have a team that can run it before I take on anything else.”
