Dario Medrano

Dario Medrano is an investment broker who enjoys a second career as a reality television star. He first came to the public’s attention as a contestant on the second season of MTV’s Are You the One? in 2014. Having found his “perfect match” in fellow contestant Ashley Hall, he went on to appear in no fewer than four seasons of another MTV reality series, The Challenge. He competed in Battle of the Bloodlines, Rivals III, Invasion of the Champions, and XXX: Dirty 30. His time on the show led to articles proclaiming him as one of the greatest “Challengers” the series has ever seen, proving his worth against some of its toughest contestants.

Medrano was born in Salem, Massachusetts, in September 1992. He was just 21 years old when got his first taste of reality television fame on Are You the One?, a reality show where contestants have ten episodes to try and work out which other contestant they’ve secretly been paired with as the perfect love match. Medrano and Ashley Hall from Texas worked out that they were the perfect match, but nothing came of the pairing after the show had finished.

Before long, however, Medrano was back on the screen in The Challenge, becoming one of its more seasoned veterans, surviving feuds, having love affairs, and knocking favourite contenders out. Today, he is based in Las Vegas where he works as a broker and owner of Home Field Lending. With an Instagram following of over 100,000, he is also something of an influencer.
