Meet 'Amazing Race' Winners Kim and Penn Holderness, Oldest Champs in Show's History

The couple had to keep their win a secret from their two children, who only found out at a special viewing party of the finale.

YouTube stars Kim and Penn Holderness are the newest winners of “The Amazing Race.” 

The season was like no other, because of a 19-month gap in production due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kim and Penn are in their mid-forties, making them the oldest couple to ever win the show’s competition. 

“It came down to my wife being an anally retentive, over-preparing, Type A personality,” Penn said.

Inside Edition viewers might recognize Kim from her time as a reporter on the show. 

“Being a reporter prepared me well, because I just took notes everywhere we went, and I was just very observant of everything we saw,” Kim said.

The couple had to keep their win a secret from their two children, who only found out at a special viewing party of the finale.

“I don’t think you expect a 15-year-old to be giddy and excited about her parents, and there was something really special about that,” Penn said.
