Hunky Survivor contestant Mark Wales originally wanted to be on The Bachelor Australia but as fate would have it, the girl of his dreams showed up when he least expected it.
Yep, it’s offish, the former special ops commander is dating his fellow survivor tribe-mate Sam Gash. Aww!
“It’s been nice to get to know each other outside the game. We are now in a relationship,” they revealed in a joint statement.
Mark and Sam have been getting cosy on the island.
In fact, it all began when the two were both paired in tribe Asaga and they hit it off right away.
“We had a great connection on the island and got along really well, it was such a unique experience,” they said.
“We formed a strong alliance in the game, which was obviously seen as a threat to others.”
Of course, it didn’t take long before things got steamy between the pair. In fact, the couple have been caught canoodling and spooning each other for, ahem, warmth.
So, what’s Mark looking for in a girl?
“I’m always attracted to people who make the most out of life and are ambitious,” he confessed.

Well, that certainly sounds like endurance athlete Sam to us!
In fact, Sam, 32, took a break from studying law and decided to take on one of the toughest endurance races ever, the 4 Deserts Grand Slam.
The race consists of four ultra-marathons across Chile, China, Sahara and Antarctica.
You go, girl!
What’s more, she was the first woman and youngest person ever to complete the race!
Fingers crossed their love survives.
