Nicole Tutewohl and Karl Collins met at the gym
For a lot of people, their relationships start from the places they spend a lot of time. This theory also applies to Nicole Tutewohl and Karl Collins, for them, it was at the gym. Nicole is a fitness enthusiast and because of this, she spends a lot of time in the gym. On the other hand, Collins is equally interested in bodybuilding and fitness. As fate would have it, both of them used to go to the same gym in Minnesota and that was how they met.
There was an instant attraction between them when they first met but Nicole had a boyfriend and nothing could come out of their meeting. This was the situation until a year later when they met again and this time, Nicole was single. Having experienced an attraction for each other in the past, they were interested in what it would feel like for them to date, thus, they decided to get into a relationship.
Are they still together?
By 2019, Nicole Tutewohl and Karl Collins had been dating for more than two years and were already living together. Karl brought up the idea of them joining the show that year, which Nicole was skeptical about, but she decided to go on the show after Karl was able to convince her. Apparently, she wasn’t sure their relationship would be able to withstand the pressure that might emanate from the show.
The goal of Temptation Island is to test the boundaries of people in relationships and see if the love they have for their partners is one that can stand their attraction to other people. Before Nicole Tutewohl and Karl Collins joined the show, she was worried that the show would tackle the problems in their relationship and that they were not strong enough to fight it off. She was right.
Subsequently, their relationship ended even before they left Temptation Island. But what could have caused this rift between the couple in such a brief period of time?
A lack of trust was one of their problems
Before Nicole Tutewohl and Karl Collins became part of the fourth season of Temptation Island, Nicole had her reservations about their relationship, she was very much aware of the strain that comes with participating in such a show but Collins had no such fears.
When they got on the Island, the couple tried to the best of their ability to keep their relationship intact. Particularly, Nicole, who was of the opinion that Karl was the love of her life, spending time with Tyler – one of the other contestants revealed that she was ready to be loved in a way that differed from what Karl was offering her. It also did not help that before they got on the show, they had stopped caring for each other deeply and were only performing the motions of people in a relationship.
The final blow that sent their relationship to the rocks was when Nicole asked Tyler to come to her bed. In retaliation, Karl had sex with Britney – another single contestant on the show. This compounded the trust issues they had in their relationship, leading to an ultimate end of their love story, at least for a while.
