When the world first met Karamo Brown in the show's 15th season, he became the first out gay black man on reality TV. While he competed in a season of The Challenge afterwards, he spent nearly a decade working as a social worker, putting his degree from Florida A&M University to use. Beginning with Bethenny Frankel's eponymous talk show in 2012, he began serving as a correspondent on several talk shows, including Dr. Drew on Call and Huffpost Live before returning to MTV in 2017 at the host of Are You the One: Second Chances. But everything changed for Karamo in 2018 when he chosen to join the new Fab Five in Netflix's revival of Queer Eye, serving as the resident culture expert. In March 2019, he released a memoir entitled Karamo: My Story of Embracing Purpose, Healing, and Hope, and launched a podcast two months later. In 2007, Karamo learned he was the father of a 10-year-old boy named Jason, whom he received custody of that year, adopting Jason's half-brother Chris in 2010. In May 2018, he became engaged to his partner of eight years, Ian Jordan.
