Hazen Audel has become a familiar presence to viewers who follow survival television—his work on shows like Primal Survivor has taken him across challenging landscapes, from African safari country to the winding waters of the Mekong, and his on-screen confidence and charm are part of what draws an audience.
Behind that seasoned-explorer image lies a personal life that has prompted questions. In an interview he referenced a past breakup, a remark that left some fans wondering about his romantic history.
More recently, Hazen shared photos featuring a woman, which fueled renewed speculation about his current relationship status. Here we look at what’s publicly known about his love life and the mystery surrounding who he might be seeing now.
A Past Relationship That Lasted Six Years
Hazen’s romantic life has seen highs and lows. In a 2014 interview he discussed a former partnership, a relationship that spanned six years, though he kept his ex-partner’s identity private. He recalled, “I’ve been giving this love stuff a pretty good shot—my last relationship lasted for six years.” He went on to say,
And I loved being crazy in love. The problem was, it was crazy – it had an uncanny resemblance to Fatal Attraction! I barely came out of that alive and I was lucky my cat didn’t get boiled! At least I know where never to venture again.
Even after that turbulent breakup, Hazen hasn’t let it stop him from continuing his search for love.
Open to Settling Down If He Meets the Right Woman
The 52-year-old TV personality says he hasn’t closed the door on settling down. He admits that while he rarely criticizes someone’s cooking, a partner who can cook is a big attraction for him — though he’s clear that culinary talent alone wouldn’t be a deal-breaker.
As the star of Primal Survivor, he looks for someone who’s happy sleeping in a tent and eager to explore far-flung places. He’s even confessed to using an unusual first-date litmus test: seeing if a potential partner will climb a tree with him.
Despite that quirky requirement, he stresses that the best dates are driven by genuine chemistry. He also mentions a soft spot for British women, with a particular admiration for those from the West Country.
Hazen is passionate about adventure and filming, and his work has taken him to locations such as the Solomon Islands and Costa Rica, where he serves as a biologist. While he loves travelling, he hopes to find someone to share those journeys with and ultimately to return home to.
Who Is the Enigmatic Woman Featured on His Instagram?
Hazen’s Instagram frequently includes a woman whose identity hasn’t been revealed publicly. In a number of photos she’s shown with her back to the camera, which adds to the mystique. Notably, a post from June 13, 2022 shows her standing between two dogs, paired with the caption, “People always call me a dreamer. Well, lucky to be living the dream.” That image, in particular, intensified speculation among followers.
Many commenters have guessed she might be Hazen’s wife or girlfriend, but he has not confirmed any of those guesses. Although he does offer occasional glimpses into his family life, he deliberately keeps information about his partner out of the spotlight.
Given the intensity of his past relationships and the qualities he has said he looks for in a partner, fans wonder whether this unnamed woman fits that description and shares his adventurous outlook. For now, Hazen continues to keep this part of his life private.
