The beaches of Survivor have set the scene for several reality television showmances over the years. Some of those romances have gone on to become real-life relationships, with the pairs tying the knot and starting families back in the real world.

For other lasting Survivor couples, the relationships began back at home after filming ended (in some cases, several years after). But either way, these duos have made their love work after meeting, thanks to the CBS competition show, which will air its 49th season in the fall.
