CONFIRMED: ‘Australian Survivor’ Castaways Mark & Sam Are Now Dating IRL

Surprising precisely no one – it turns out Australian Survivor’s Mark and Sam are now a couple irl.

Sam was voted off the island on last night’s ep, and she told The Daily Telegraph’s Confidential that her and Mark have been dating since the series wrapped up.

“There wasn’t a romance on the island, I think that’s really important to say.We were there for the game of Survivor, and that was so important,” she said.

“But I would say now that we have walked away from it, I’ve come away with something better than that prize.

“I think we are just enjoying a life completely removed from Survivor, while having to watch it.”

The pair were labelled the ‘power couple’ by their campmates, and appeared to be close from day one of the reality series.

“We were standing next to each other on the barge, and I remember the first person I spoke to was Sam,” Mark told Confidential.

“When we went to the island, I think we picked up we were cut from a similar cloth, so we became close friends, and were tight the whole time.”

The blossoming romance isn’t the first of its kind. In last year’s Survivor season Lee Carseldine and El Rowland were close from the beginning and after the show officially started dating. From all reports, it would seem the cute couple are still going strong.

Who says you can’t find love, while starving to death on an island…
