Kristyn Cheyenne Floyd is an American reality television personality and social media influencer. She has gained fame for participating in multiple reality shows, including ‘Are You the One?’ and ‘The Challenge’. A native of California, Floyd grew up in an affluent family. She made her small screen debut in 2015 when she appeared as one of the participants in the season three of MTV’s reality television dating series ‘Are You the One?’ In 2016, she became part of yet another MTV reality show ‘The Challenge’, appearing in the 28th season of the show, called ‘Rivals III’. It was announced in 2018 that Floyd has been chosen to replace series regular Farrah Abraham in ‘Teen Mom OG’. She has a daughter named Ryder with her former ‘The Challenge’ co-star Cory Wharton who has also been cast in the series. Besides having an active reality television career, Floyd is an entrepreneur as well. She owns an online clothing boutique called TheRuu.

Cheyenne Floyd’s career in the world of reality television began in 2015 when she appeared as one of the participants in the third season of the MTV show ‘Are You the One?’ She made appearances in all ten episodes of the show. While she did not eventually win the series, it marked the beginning of her long professional relationship with MTV.

Her next television appearance was on ‘The Challenge’, a long-running MTV reality series that was originally a spin-off of ‘Real World’ and ‘Road Rules’. Over the years, not only the alumni from those two shows but also the ones from other MTV reality shows, including ‘Big Brother’ (US), ‘Ex on the Beach’ (UK and US), ‘Geordie Shore’, and ‘Are You the One?’, have been featured on ‘The Challenge’. Floyd appeared on ‘Rivals III’, the 28th season of ‘The Challenge’, alongside her ‘Are You the One?’ castmate Devin Walker-Molaghan.

In early 2018, Farrah Abraham was dropped from ‘Teen Mom OG’ after her argument with executive producer Morgan J. Freeman was aired as part of the 12 March episode of the seventh season of the show. Subsequently, Floyd and fellow TV personality Bristol Palin were cast as replacements in the second half of the season. Floyd’s selection has garnered massive criticism from the fans of the show as she is neither a teenager nor was one during her pregnancy.

In 2014, Floyd set up her own online clothing boutique, TheRuu. Named after her grandmother Ruby, the shop makes and markets a collection of fitness wear and intimate wear for both men and women.

Floyd is also involved with various charitable initiatives. She is associated with Girls Inc., serving as a mentor for young girls. She also volunteers at Midnight Mission and Los Angeles Mission once a week. Her job at Kids Enjoy Exercise Now (K.E.E.N.) includes working with differently abled children. She has hosted fundraisers, such as can drives, clothes drives, and toy drives. Floyd has visited Nicaragua as part of a charity organization to renovate buildings and teach local children.

Floyd has been steadily documenting her experiences as a young mother in her blog, raisingryderk.

Cheyenne was born on October 19, 1992, in Los Angeles, California to Kyle and Theresa Floyd. She has a sister. Since they were children, they have been encouraged to pursue their dreams by their parents. Floyd loved to write stories when she was a child. By the time she became a teenager, she had developed an interest in photography. The family had the means to travel all over the world, which allowed Floyd the opportunity to practice her favored art form in Hong Kong, Cuba, Mexico, and France.

After graduating from Maranatha High School in Pasadena, California, Floyd enrolled at the Hampton University, from where she received a bachelor’s degree in public relations. She has spoken about her experience at Hampton during her interview to Hampton Script, stating that she had enjoyed her time there and given the chance, would do it all over again.

Floyd and Wharton presumably met during the filming of ‘The Challenge’. They flirted but it did not go anywhere initially. However, they met once more during the reunion and had a brief affair. Floyd was already in a relationship at the time. After she found out that she was pregnant, she did not know who the father of her child was. As a result, DNA tests were conducted and eventually, Wharton announced on Twitter that he is the father of Floyd’s daughter, Ryder, who was born on April 7, 2017. While Floyd and Wharton are not currently in a relationship, they have decided to raise their daughter together. At present, she is dating a man named Zach.

After her birth, Ryder was diagnosed with Very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD), which is a condition where a patient becomes unable to process certain fats. Floyd has stated on her social media profiles that Ryder is kept on a strict diet of 50% breast milk and 50% supplementary formula diet, including, but not limited to, special dietary supplements created for VLCAD patients.
