After Smith asked for his hand in marriage, Santos wrote on Instagram, “I said yes. You have my heart forever @zekerchief.”
Zeke gushed, “He said yes. I’m the luckiest guy in the world. Thank you to @glaad and @tiffanyandco for making it magical.”
In 2018, Smith confirmed their relationship on social media.
He tweeted, “I guess everybody knows about my hot little 25 year-old boyfriend now. Oh, haaayyy @nicosantos.”
Zeke appeared on “Survivor” in 2016 and 2017.
On 2017, Smith was outed as transgender by contestant Jeff Varner.
At the time, he told People magazine he didn’t want to be “the first transgender ‘Survivor’ contestant.”
He went on to say, “I’m not ashamed of being trans, but I didn’t want that to be my story. I just wanted to go out on an adventure and play a great game. I just wanted to be known for my game.”
