Jeff Probst, who has been the host of Survivor since the 2000 premiere, is the oldest of three brothers. News broke in May 2026 that Jeff's younger brother, Scott Probst, died. "Some sad news, our brother Scott is no longer with us," their brother Brent Probst wrote via Instagram at the time. "He was a great brother, son and friend. I will miss him so much ❤️ I'm so sad he is gone." Jeff is also a husband to wife Lisa Ann Russell, whom he wed in 2011. The pair share two children from her previous marriage.
