Taylor Olympios and Shea Foster appeared on Netflix’s new series Surviving Paradise as a couple, but did they make it in the real world? The reality TV series featured twelve cast members competing for $200,000 in a luxurious villa. However, there was a catch: the cast could vote each other in and out of the villa, and contestants had to be in the villa to win. After participating in a survival drop together, Shea and Taylor formed a bond and later a relationship, but was ten days in the wilderness enough foundation for these reality TV stars?
Surviving Paradise certainly wasn’t one of the best reality TV series of 2023. While Netflix has graced viewers with such hit reality TV series as Love Is Blind, Too Hot To Handle, and The Circle, Surviving Paradise wasn’t quite able to have the same effect. The game was contrived and unclear, personalities were lackluster, and the relationships were predictable. Even Shea and Taylor’s relationship seemed pre-planned to involve romance in the otherwise platonic show. However, their chemistry could have led them to a relationship in the real world.
Taylor And Shea Broke Up After Surviving Paradise

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Taylor and Shea broke up after appearing on Surviving Paradise. They left the show on a sour note, with Taylor asserting Shea she would go back to camp, allowing him to stay in the villa. Instead of offering to go in her place, he agreed, which rubbed Taylor the wrong way. However, Shea had sacrificed himself multiple times throughout the game for Taylor, so certain cast members found her complaining irritating.
While neither Taylor nor Shea have confirmed or denied their relationship, the show was filmed in the summer of 2022, and they’ve never been in the same place at the same time. Therefore, it’s likely the pair split after filming Surviving Paradise. Even though Taylor forgave Shea, his treatment of her left a bad taste in her mouth, as he was in the top 4, and she was eliminated because of her sacrifice.
Taylor Is An Influencer After Surviving Paradise
Since appearing on Surviving Paradise, Taylor has become an influencer with over 30,000 followers on the platform. She has appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated and models for a vintage website. The successful model doesn’t seem to be in a relationship but is thriving in her career. Meanwhile, Shea has been running again after a spinal fusion surgery in 2021 and continues his career as a private jet broker.
Taylor and Shea likely aren’t together after Surviving Paradise but are thriving after the show. Shea is a successful entrepreneur who can do more physical activity after recovering from a car accident, and Taylor is a sought-after influencer and model. While their relationship was as lackluster as the show, they’re doing well post-filming.
