Back in 2005, Uchenna Agu and Joyce Robinson were named the winners of Season 7 of The Amazing Race. They returned to the show for Season 11, the first All-Stars season, in 2007 and finished in fifth.

During both of their appearances on The Amazing Race, Uchenna and Joyce were going through rough patches in their marriage. They were both dealing with financial hardships after the companies they each worked for went bankrupt, and they were also dealing with infertility struggles.

Now, Uchenna and Joyce will reflect on their time competing on the show in a new CBS special, The Amazing Race: 25 Years Around the World, airing ahead of the Season 39 premiere. But where does their relationship stand today? Scroll down for more.

Why did Uchenna Agu and Joyce Robinson split?

“I think by the time we went on the Race, we couldn’t decide if we were going to stay together or not. But when we were on the Race, it was really strange how amazingly perfect we worked together,” Joyce admitted. “We respected each other, and we didn’t blame each other for the choices that were made.”

However, when they got home, they “returned to [their] normal habits and creature comforts,” she added, which eventually led to the demise of the marriage.

Do Uchenna Agu and Joyce Robinson have kids?

No, Uchenna and Joyce never had children. After winning the Race, the former couple made it clear that they were going to use their winnings to fund another round of in vitro fertilization, despite two past failed attempts.

When they returned for Season 11, they shared that their latest IVF journey was also unsuccessful. Although Uchenna and Joyce also considered adoption, they never had any children together before their split.
