Personal Life
From 1996 to 2001, Probst was married to the first of his two wives, psychotherapist Shelley Wright. In 2005, he began dating former Survivor contestant Julie Berry, but in a March 2008 interview, he announced they had split up. Probst married his second wife, Lisa Ann Russell (the ex-wife of actor Mark-Paul Gosselaar), on December 5, 2011.
In 1999, Probst was ordained as a minister by the Universal Life Church by filling out a membership card received in a cereal box. He remarried his parents for their 35th wedding anniversary. He also officiated at the marriage of Jenna Fischer, star of The Office.
Probst keeps the snuffer that he uses to snuff the torches when a contestant is voted out of the game as a souvenir after every season of Survivor.
Jeff Probst is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu school of Culinary Arts of North America.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
