‘Special Forces’ Veteran Rudy Reyes’ Romance History

Rudy Reyes is well-known, in part thanks to his work on the reality TV competition, “Special Forces,” and the TV series, “Generation Kill.” Ahead of the “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” premiere on Thursday, September 25 at 9 p.m. ET on Fox, the spotlight is on him once again. But aside from being a special forces veteran, Reyes also has an interesting romance history, which recently made headlines. 


Rudy Reyes Dating History

Reyes has two children, a son, Dylan, and a daughter, Bella, from previous relationships, Page Six reports. His most well-known romance was with firearms instructor Jade Struck, and the pair got engaged in 2020. In an Instagram post on February 11, 2024, he celebrated Struck’s birthday and gave a glimpse into their relationship. 

“Love of My Life Happy Birthday @jadestruck “I searched the Whole Wide World I searched the Whole Wide World I searched the Whole Wide World Just ta Find U,” he wrote in the caption.

The couple has since broken up. Why and when it happened is not clear, but their split appears to have happened around February 2025. “We are not together anymore sadly, but I take every opportunity for growth and improvement,” Reyes wrote on Instagram in response to a fan in February, The Sun reports. The message has since been deleted. The publication also reports that at the time, they no longer followed each other on Instagram. 


Did Rudy Reyes Date Denise Richards?

There is some speculation surrounding Reyes’ relationship with “Real Housewives” star Denise Richards, whom he met on “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” Season 3. This is because her ex-husband, Aaron Phypers, claimed he found evidence that Richards had a months-long affair with Reyes. 

“She begged me not to leave, saying it was nothing and that she only loved me,” Phypers said in a statement, Page Six reports. “Then, she denied it all … Despite her promise to stop, more lies and shocking evidence emerged.”


Rudy Reyes Is Single

Reyes’ current relationship status is unclear, as are the reasons for his breakup with Struck. In an Instagram post, he made on February 24, he mentioned he was “single.” 

“#leanonme … I may be single but I am not alone,” the caption reads. “I have the most wonderful and loyal loved ones and every day I am grateful. Take a Bow all of U True Believers, Warrior Veterans, Family and Human Beings that Make My Heart Sparkle and Shine.”
