The contestants on Destination X live in close quarters as they travel through Europe on a bus, and romance is bound to brew. Shayne Cureton and Ally Bross had noticeable chemistry early on in the game, and by episode 3, a full-fledged showmance had begun. Now, fans are wondering if the pair is together after filming the NBC reality competition.
Who Is Shayne Cureton on ‘Destination X’?
Shayne is a “model with a playful and flirty side” from Indianapolis, Indiana, according to his NBC bio. “Growing up, Shayne moved around a lot and learned early on the importance of charisma to make friends wherever he goes,” the bio continued.
Shayne’s career has taken him around the globe, including Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Sweden, Hong Kong and Australia, and he “prides himself on his worldly knowledge and geographical expertise.” Plus, he knew his charm would make the “social elements” of the game “easy.”
“A lover of travel, people and experiences, Shayne is ready to embark on the Destination X bus and find his next adventure and potentially even a love interest,” the bio concluded.
Who Is Ally Bross on ‘Destination X’?
Ally is an Orlando, Florida, native who earned degrees in political science and religion. However, she now works full-time as a travel influencer based in Austin, Texas. She visited 32 countries across all seven continents in one year, which has made her confident in her “ability to recognize cultural landmarks and geographical clues,” according to her NBC bio.

“Ally has a strong knowledge of pop culture and world history, and is also an avid gamer, chess player and strategic thinker. As a hopeless romantic, she not only hopes to win the grand prize, but also to win the heart of a fellow traveler along the way,” the bio concluded.
Shayne Cureton and Ally Bross Start a Romance on ‘Destination X’
In episode 2, Ally described the Destination X bus as “a massive, 24/7 sleepover” and said she was “really starting to like everyone” — especially Shayne.
“I flirt with Shayne all the time, and I think he’s gorgeous,” she said.
At the start of episode 3, which was aptly titled, “Catching Feelings Changes Everything,” Ally and Shayne were seen holding hands as they lounged in their bunk beds. The two later started making out.
In a confessional, Shayne said that he was single and hoping to find someone.
“I’m out of that player phase of my life. I’m ready to settle down,” he added.
Meanwhile, Ally admitted, “I am a romantic, and I’m flirty, and I’m gonna want to cuddle. If I meet a guy I really like, I’m gonna be like, ‘Yeah, so, I actually did get the clue, do you wanna know what it is?’”
The rest of the players noticed the romance brewing between Ally and Shayne, with a few mimicking their intertwining fingers. Biggy Bailey expressed frustration at Shayne finding love on the bus.
“I haven’t always been the best with women. I can’t close,” he said. “Shayne’s wrapped up with Ally like a pair of daggum headphones.”
Later, when Ally and Shayne were cuddling in the common area, Tai Lowry said, “They’ve been in each other’s face, like, the whole time. It’s getting on my nerves.”
