Parvati Shallow opens up about her relationship with Mae Martin and finding her own path.
Survivor winner and queer TV favorite Parvati Shallow recently shared an update about her relationship with comedian Mae Martin. Speaking to People, Shallow described their romance as an “in flux situation,” sparking curiosity among fans of the couple.
Shallow, who began dating Martin in early 2023, came out as queer in December of the same year. On New Year’s Eve, Martin celebrated their love by sharing a sweet photo strip of the pair kissing with the caption: “Parv’s here, she’s queer, Happy New Year.”
A Power Couple on Pause?
The couple quickly became a queer power duo, with fans cheering on their relationship. However, Shallow revealed she’s been reflecting on her life and what she truly wants.
“I’ve been through trying to fit myself into the structures of society and the definitions of dating and the definitions of relationships, and I’m like, do I want to do that? Or do I want to just take a big ball of clay and make it into what I want?”
The Deal or No Deal Island star added, “I’m traveling so much and having these really fun, amazing adventures, so I’m in this place of asking myself, what do I really want?”
A New Chapter for Both
Shallow was previously married to fellow Survivor alum John Fincher, with whom she shares a daughter. Reflecting on her journey, she described her relationship with Martin as unlike anything she’s experienced before.
“Getting divorced was challenging,” she said. “Meeting Mae was such a different experience, and it’s made me rethink everything I thought I knew about relationships.”
Mae Martin’s Next Move
Despite speculation about their status, Martin denied breakup rumors last summer, insisting the pair was “happier than ever.” In the meantime, the Feel Good star is branching out into a new creative venture.
Martin recently announced their debut music album, I’m A TV, set to drop later this year. Known for their sharp Netflix comedy specials and hit TV show, Martin’s leap into the music industry marks an exciting new chapter.
Whether Shallow and Martin remain a couple or forge separate paths, their journeys continue to inspire and captivate fans.
