‘Survivor’: Is Jonathan Young In a Relationship? What We Know
There are just nine players left in the game on Season 50 of Survivor, and one of those is Season 42 alum, Jonathan Young. In the four years since he last played, Jonathan has worked on the strategic part of his Survivor game and has no votes against him at tribal council so far.
During his last Survivor appearance, Jonathan made it all the way to the final four and was sent home after losing the fire-making challenge to eventual runner-up Mike Turner.
While his fate in Season 50 remains to be seen, Swooon is doing a deep dive into his life outside of the game. Is Jonathan in a relationship? Scroll down for everything we know.
Does Jonathan Young have a girlfriend?
No, Jonathan does not appear to have a girlfriend. While he has not confirmed his relationship status, there is no evidence of a significant other on his social media, and he has not publicly spoken about having a girlfriend.
What was Jonathan Young accused of on Survivor 42?
During Season 42, Jonathan was accused of not treating women well on the show. The accusations came from winner Maryanne Oketch, as well as Lindsay Dolashewich, who finished in fifth place.
“To put it in a quick sentence, Jonathan’s a misogynist. Or at least it felt that way on the island,” Lindsay told Entertainment Weekly after she was voted out. “I’m not someone who’s going to be talked to that way in real life. In real life, I would never have accepted being spoken to that way for myself or anybody else that I would’ve seen that happen [to], but it’s a social game so you really can’t say that. In my mind, that was very infuriating internally for me.”
Lindsay and Jonathan were actually close at the beginning of the game, but she said she began to see his “true colors” around Day 5.
“At that point, I started noticing [things], but I was thinking, “Oh, maybe he is under fed. Maybe it’s just because I’m a very outspoken person. He’s very alpha. Maybe it’s because I’m kind of alpha too,'” Lindsay recalled. “And then as time went on, I started being able to gather like, “OK, this is a trend that I notice.” So no, that was under my skin for a while.”
