Just in time to ring in 2024!
Survivor winner Parvati Shallow has come out as queer in an Instagram post shared on Saturday, Dec. 30. The reality TV legend shared pictures of herself kissing comedian Mae Martin, thus hard-launching their relationship to the public.
Shallow wrote in the caption:
“We’re here. We’re queer. Happy new year.”
Besides winning Survivor Micronesia – Fans vs. Favorites, Shallow also competed on Survivor: Cook Islands, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Survivor: Cagayan, and Survivor: Winners at War. She is currently set to star in the second season of The Traitors on Peacock.
Writer, actor, and comedian Martin is best known for the Netflix series Feel Good, for which they won a BAFTA in 2021. Martin is currently one of the cohosts of the Handsome podcast alongside Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster.
It seems like Martin already had their eyes set on Shallow for some time. As pointed out by @kellixboyle, Martin shared an X post (formerly tweet) in May 2020 referencing the Survivor legend:
“I love Parvati and Boston Rob from Survivor so much that I just cried about it, but nobody in England knows what I’m talking about.”
