In modern life, there are varied paths to relative fame. For Caroline “Caro” Viehweg, it was being a contestant on Love Island USA, the reality television about a group of 20somethings’ attempt to find love. She and 24 other contestants launched the American version of the classically British show in Fiji. Although she did not win the show, Caro has parlayed her time on national television to join an ever-expanding roster of internet-famous personalities.
Viehweg’s Instagram account now has followers in the hundreds of thousands, many of whom would love to learn more about the new star. While there’s no doubt that there’s plenty to learn about her, few of them have made it to the public. But being internet sleuths, we’ve uncovered ten facts you didn’t know about the former Love Island contestant.
1. She has a celebrity crush
While a lot of people have a crush on Caro, she has one of hers too, on none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.” Of course, he’s currently unavailable, but it gives us a clearer picture of the kind of men Viehweg admirers. Tall, well-chiseled intelligent men who would turn heads wherever they go.
2. She’s trilingual
Caro Viehweg speaks three languages. These include Portuguese, German, and English. Being trilingual has also made it easier for her to be a global citizen. She has lived in six different countries, including include United States, Canada, Sweden, South Africa, Germany, and Brazil.
3. Caro studied Fashion Marketing
Before she appeared on Love Island USA, Caro studied Fashion Marketing at John Casablancas Institute in Vancouver, Canada. According to a now-dormant Linkedin page, she joined the school in 2016 and left in 2017, presumably relocating to Los Angeles after. Two years later, she became a Day 1 contestant on one of the most popular reality TV shows on the planet.
4. She insists on some virtuous traits
Caro is the kind of person who values honesty and a great sense of humor in a potential partner. She’s a self-confessed honest, open-minded, loving, fun, and straightforward person, character traits she believes make her a great girlfriend. Is her potential boyfriend expected to be all these? One would hope so, but one thing we know for sure: you must make her laugh.
5. Caroline values authenticity and spirituality
Caro already knows what she wants in a man. Her ideal partner must have a spiritual side and value this aspect of life as she does. He must also be authentic and genuine. She’s not interested in phonies. She seems to have her act together and she won’t settle for anyone who doesn’t share her philosophy.
6. She has a second Instagram account
Most people that pay attention to Viehwag and Love Island know that Caro has an Instagram account. It’s the one with over 603 thousand followers and counting. Admirers troop in daily to like bikini photos and travel vlogs. It’s how they keep up with her journey throughout Europe. But not many know there’s another one.
Her second account is @WomenProsper. It’s a community page where she posts her reflection on life and womanhood. You will find screenshots of her tweets, motivational videos, and musings on whatever book she’s reading. In essence, a digital collection of Caro Viehweg’s philosophy. And many people love what she has to say. The account has over 26 thousand followers.
7. She’s an entrepreneur
One way to leverage a combined online following of 620 thousand users? Become a small business owner. She opened a Shopify store to sell beauty and personal care products, specifically oil for curly hair. The brand, Alchemy Curls, will launch on March 26, 2023.
8. She’s a Vlogger
If you didn’t get enough of her on Love Island USA, you can see more on YouTube. On her channel, CaroViee, she shares lifestyle and fitness videos. But she’s really here to vlog. She talks about her relationship, fitness journey, and offers her opinion on the hot-button relationship topic of the day. And many people love them. Her channel has almost 40 thousand subscribers and 1.6 million views.
9. She was going to appear on The Amazing Race
Caro Viehweg finished third on Love Island USA. People loved her and she came close to winning the $100,000 prize money, something we can’t say for 18 other contestants on the show. Many of those people would have seen her on a reality show again had she not broken up with fellow Islander, Ray Gantt. The duo was one of the teams competing in season 33 of The Amazing Grace. Filming began in 2020, then the pandemic forced a break, and by the time it resumed, they were no longer together.
10. Caro Broke Up Because “Ray wasn’t Committed Enough”
Without the show facilitating their relationship, Caro and Ray’s commitment to each other was put to the test and they failed. According to Caro, Ray is to blame. After exiting Long Island USA, Ray left for the East Coast and she lived in the west. Their island romance turned into a long-distance relationship and Ray wasn’t committed to it. So she called things off.
