‘Survivor’ 2023 Contestants Matt & Frannie Are Now Dating in Real Life!

A showmance brewed this season on Survivor and we’ve just learned that the couple is now dating in real life!

Matt Blankinship and Frannie Marin, who were both on the Soka tribe from the beginning of the season, grew a tight bond while in Fiji and now they’re a real-life couple.

SPOILER ALERT!

Matt was voted out during the latest episode and is now the first member of the jury. During an exit interview, he confirmed his and Frannie’s relationship status.

Head inside to find out what he said…

“We’re still dating. We’re still going strong,” Matt told EW. “Obviously, there is so much chemistry there. We’re two dorky magnets. We couldn’t stay away from each other. And we knew the whole time. I think of myself as a very logical, smart guy. The one thing you come into Survivor and not do is get into a showmance ’cause it’s a terrible strategy, but we literally couldn’t help it. So, yeah, we’re still going strong. We did get Ethiopian food. We’re planning that road trip. We’re making it happen.”

Matt added, “It’s the last thing I expected. You prepare for this game, but you could never prepare for that, right? One of the things I told myself going out there was to just sort of embrace whatever the experience had for me. Go out there with an open mind and just let myself feel the things I was feeling and express them and let myself be whatever, whoever I am in that moment. I think I really did that. For me, that connection is so strong. That relationship with me and Frannie is so beautiful and so pure. It would be a disservice to me and a disservice to her to not allow that to flourish, regardless of game, you know? I’m the real winner of Survivor 44.”

Matt confirmed that Frannie was on the other side of the wall while he gave the interview!
