Savannah Louie is quickly becoming one of the standout players on Survivor Season 49. She started the game strong, landing on one of the most successful tribes early on. When the tribes swapped, she managed to stay in the majority alliance, setting herself up well for the merge.
Since then, Savannah has shown that she’s not just a social player but also a tough competitor in challenges. Still, things have started to get tricky as some of her original allies have begun to turn on each other. How she handles the next few votes will decide if she can keep her power or if the game shifts against her.
Outside of Survivor, Savannah has a steady relationship with her boyfriend, Brandon Stiles. Fans are curious to know more about him and their story together, and there’s definitely growing interest in the couple as Savannah’s fame continues to rise.
When did Savannah Louie and her boyfriend start dating?
Savannah Louie and Brandon Stiles began dating in May 2024, and their relationship seems to be going strong. When they celebrated their one-year anniversary, Brandon shared a heartfelt post dedicated to her.
He wrote that a year earlier, he’d gone on a first date with “a stunning, whip-smart, witty, and fiery woman” who lights up every room she walks into. He said he hadn’t known then that he was sitting across from someone who would come to feel like home. Brandon’s message mentioned the adventures they’ve shared, from long trips to cosy coffee mornings, and ended with a playful nod to their first date, “Thanks for going to a second location with me that night, lol. Love you, babe. Happy one year.”
Professionally, Brandon works as a senior software engineer at Talkiatry, a company that provides online psychiatric care. He played a key role in launching the company’s patient portal and joined the team in January 2025.
Before that, he worked as a software engineer at FloQast for a year and spent over three years at Greenlight between 2020 and 2024. According to his LinkedIn profile, Brandon studied at the University of Georgia, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication and Rhetoric in 2011.
Where does Savannah Louie’s boyfriend live?
Brandon lives in Atlanta, Georgia. It’s not clear exactly how he and Savannah met, but since she moved to Atlanta in 2021 to work as a reporter for Atlanta News First, it’s likely that their paths crossed somewhere in the city.
Fans can keep watching Savannah’s journey unfold on Survivor Season 49, airing Wednesdays at 8/7c on CBS.
