The Survivor Contestant That Jeff Probst Once Dated
In the summer of 2004, rumors started about sparks flying between Jeff Probst and a castaway while filming Season 9 of the phenomenally successful series, "Survivor: Vanuatu." Rumors of a relationship heated up after fans spotted the contestant, Julie Berry, wearing a homemade heart tattoo with "Jeff" written around it, as reported by People. Probst and Berry started dating in August 2004, the same year the ninth season aired. Probst called fans' perception of flirting between the two on TV throughout the season "funny."
Their 19-year age difference didn't stop the two from getting together, although the "Survivor" host claimed to People that he didn't reach out to his castaway love interest until after filming wrapped when he emailed her just to say "hi." In December 2004, amid much speculation, Probst and Berry confirmed their relationship in front of a live studio audience on the "Vanuatu" reunion episode. The two dated for four years and appeared on numerous red carpet premieres together, often expressing their affection for one another by kissing in photos. However, their "good love affair" didn't end on the best of terms.
