Ethan Zohn, the winner of the third season of TV’s “Survivor,” was married in a traditional Jewish ceremony on July 16 in North Bennington, Vermont, People magazine reported.

Ethan Zohn and Lisa Heywood

Zohn, 42, who is Jewish, married Lisa Heywood, 47, who converted to Judaism. The couple married under a chuppah, wrapped together in the tallit of Zohn’s late father, Aaron, the magazine reported.

Heywood, of New York City, wore a wedding gown by Israeli designer Inbal Dror, who also designed the gown worn by singer Beyoncé when she presented at the Grammy Awards in February.

Zohn was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2009 but is now cancer-free after receiving a stem-cell transplant from his brother in 2013. He was 14 when his father died of cancer.

While on “Survivor: Africa” in 2001, a fellow contestant called Zohn a “Jewboy.” Zohn said after his victory that the contestant, as well as two others, had never met a Jewish person before.

Zohn used his $1 million winnings from the show to help found Grassroots Soccer, an HIV/AIDS prevention program that connects professional soccer players with youth in Africa.

In 1997, Zohn qualified to play for the men’s U.S. soccer team in the Maccabiah Games. Playing soccer in Israel was a dream come true, Zohn said at the time. — jta
