While this season of Survivor has been proceeding with many of the twists and turns that we’ve come to expect from the long-running CBS show—hidden immunity idols, blindsides, new advantages—there was a moment in the previews for this week’s episode that surprised even the most hardened of Survivor fans.
When host Jeff Probst announced that it was time for a tribe swap, some castaways were excited, while others were dismayed, as per usual. However, it was Michele Fitzgerald’s exclamation that she was now “stranded on an island with my ex-boyfriend” that really got fans talking.

Who is Michele’s ex-boyfriend on Survivor?
Some internet sleuths were able to figure out that Michele’s ex-boyfriend is Wendell Holland, winner of Survivor: Ghost Island. Michele won Kaoh Rong in 2016, and it seems like they started dating sometime after Wendell’s win in 2018.
The couple was pretty low-key, but there are a few photos of them together from shortly after Wendell won Ghost Island.
It’s unclear when they broke up, but it doesn’t seem like they have any bad blood between them. In a pre-season interview, Wendell said that Michele is “a friend of his,” while Michele also told Xfinity that she was friendly with Wendell, among other people:
“I have previous relationships with some people, based on winning at a similar time. Some of the most recent winners have been male. There’s only 14 female winners. The rest have all been male. The past four years, there’s only been me and Sarah as winners. Since then, most of the people I know are guys. I don’t see them here, obviously. But, I have relationships with Wendell, Adam, Nick…I know them all.”
