Katurah Topps and Sabiyah Broderick: What We Know
The season 45 castmates never shared a tribe; their friendship became a relationship well after filming ended.
What happened between Katurah Topps and Sabiyah Broderick?
Dating since January 20, 2025. They were castmates on Survivor 45 but never shared a tribe, and they became close during a cast trip after filming.
Katurah Topps and Sabiyah Broderick both competed on Survivor 45, but their relationship did not begin in Fiji. They started on different tribes, Sabiyah left on Day 7, and Katurah moved to Lulu the next day, so they never played on the same tribe. In a direct Out interview, they said they became close during a post-filming Cape Cod cast trip and talked every day as friends. That friendship began shifting toward romance around August 2024. Sabiyah asked Katurah to be her girlfriend on January 20, 2025, and they publicly announced the relationship together on June 22. E!’s February 2026 Survivor status gallery still presented them as a current couple. The evidence supports dating and still-together while clearly distinguishing this post-show relationship from an on-island showmance.
