NEW YORK (AP) — “Survivor” host Jeff Probst can’t stop gushing about “Vanuatu” contestant Julie Berry.

“I finally met someone who could teach me about love,” Probst says of Berry in the Oct. 17 issue of People magazine.

Berry, one of 18 contestants on CBS’ “Survivor: Vanuatu — Islands of Fire,” was among the five still in the running before she was voted off by her rivals. The winner of the ninth edition of the reality show was revealed in December 2004.

The couple didn’t start dating until after the show was over, Probst has said. His five-year marriage to Shelley Wright ended in divorce in 2001.
