Jeremy and Val Collins: Survivor Marriage Timeline

The Massachusetts couple brought an established marriage to Blood vs. Water and have continued building their family and careers.

What happened between Jeremy Collins and Val Collins?

Married; jointly confirmed in March 2024. They married before Survivor and competed as spouses on separate starting tribes in San Juan del Sur.

Jeremy Collins and Val Collins were already married and raising a family when they competed on Survivor: San Juan del Sur in 2014. The Blood vs. Water format placed them on opposite starting tribes, and Val became the season’s second person voted out. Jeremy later won Cambodia and returned for Winners at War, while the couple’s family remained part of his Survivor story. In July 2017, Jeremy and Val welcomed their fourth child, son Lenyx Kai. CBS Boston interviewed them together in March 2024 at a local Survivor watch party, describing the couple as living in Foxborough and noting their public-service careers: Jeremy as a firefighter and Val as a police officer. That recent joint appearance supports married and still-together without requiring an inferred wedding date or unsupported private details.
