Survivor host Jeff Probst is dating one of the contestants from the most recent series, Julie Berry.

Probst and Berry kept in touch by email after filming on the popular reality series had finished, and the relationship developed from there.

"Nobody is more surprised than me that I could find my love affair on a show that I host," Probst told People magazine. "But the truth is when something like this gets dropped in your lap, you don't look at how it's wrapped, you don't look at how it's being delivered. This is my love affair and there's no question in my mind about it."

He added, "The funny thing was there was this perception we were flirting on the show, and that was actually just fun stuff on the show. I didn't really talk to Julie until long after the show was over."
