Ish Soto was a producer on "Siesta Key" during the first season, while Madisson Hausburg is a main cast member. Hausburg opened up to her co-star on the Season 3 premiere that the two were officially dating. By the end of the season, Hausburg and Soto were engaged.
Like any relationship, the two have shared their ups and downs, one of the biggest being critical reactions to their difference in age. (As of this writing, Madisson is 27 while Ish is 46). Talking to Us Weekly about the negative chatter, Madisson said, "My relationship has been really hard just because so many people have their opinions about it. I understand that. I get that, but it's really, really tough to put something you love and you care about out there just for everyone else to tear it down."
Yet, despite critics, Hausburg moved from Siesta Key to Los Angeles to be with Ish in 2020, when they became engaged. Madisson relived their engagement during the "Siesta Key" reunion, explaining to her co-stars that after buying their first home together, she went to take a selfie, and Ish was on his knee behind her proposing. "I have never felt as safe and as loved as I do when I'm with Ish," Madisson told People. She continued, "He reminds me every single day how special I am and he makes me want to be the best possible version of myself."
