The Truth About Matt Wright From Naked And Afraid XL

May 2024 · 2 minute read

In addition to being a survivalist and supreme hunter, Matt Wright is also married to Brooke Benham and they appeared on Naked and Afraid Season 10 together, proving that the couple that hunts and gathers together, stays together. He told People of their time on the show, "Each day would pass and I'd get no news — and I knew that was a good thing. I knew she was killing it out there." They made history as one of the first married couples to appear on the show together. And he made history again in 2018 when he became the first Naked and Afraid: XL contestant to go on a solo hunting mission and kill a wild boar for the whole gang, via Westword.

Not all of his time on the show has been pleasant, though. Per the same outlet Matt caught a flesh eating bug back when he was on the Naked and Afraid spinoff, Naked and Afraid: XL, back in 2017 and had to be rushed to the hospital. He said of the experience, "The feeling of losing my stronghold on the jungle and having to leave all of my survivalists, it was just the worst feeling I could have imagined, besides the fact that I thought I might lose my foot, leg or life. If I were to have broken my leg, I would have stayed and dealt with it when I got home."

Hopefully Matt will fare a little better during his next go around on the show.
