Nickson and Graf will begin the race Oct. 1 in New York. The couple said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that their involvement with the show has been a whirlwind experience.

"I got a phone call on my drive home from casting asking if I wanted to do AR with Cody and I said absolutely," Jessica recalled. "He responded with, 'Great! I'll have someone at your house in an hour to pick up your passport. You leave in 14 days.' I was floored."

"This is something Cody is going to shine in. So this time around, he's the boss," she added, referencing their many disagreements on Big Brother. "But he shouldn't get used to it."

Nickson and Graf met and fell in love on Big Brother 19, which came to a close on CBS last week. Graf confirmed news of their new venture in an Instagram post Wednesday, saying she's "beyond grateful" for the opportunity.
