Overview

• Topps and Broderick shared a carousel of photos and videos on Instagram to confirm their relationship and identify as Survivor’s first Black queer woman couple.
• They never interacted during the 2023 Fiji season, starting on separate tribes and first meeting in person on a post-filming cast trip to Cape Cod.
• Their friendship deepened last August, leading to Broderick asking Topps to be her girlfriend on January 20, 2025.
• In the game, Broderick was the second person voted out on Day 7, while Topps reached the final four and served as the last jury member after a fire-making challenge defeat.
• Fellow alums like Austin Li Coon and Eliza Orlins flooded the announcement with congratulations, underscoring Survivor’s growing diversity and LGBTQ+ visibility.
