'We're both from Brissie so we try and catch up time to time, she's got little Darcy and I've got my boys,' he said.
He added the pair got on really well while spending weeks together on the deserted Samoan island.
'We went through hell, and got on like a house on fire,' he said.

Army corporal El, 33, and Lee are currently still on-screen in Australian Survivor, competing for the $500,000 prize.
They have been the subject of romance rumours over the past few weeks and last Thursday, Lee spoke to OK! Magazine and tried to fight off rumours they were dating.
He also insinuated the pair left the island at the same time, possibly revealing the ending of the show.
Lee claims he and El spent their first moments as free people off the island together, saying they went to Max Brenner 'before we took showers.'

Contestants who are eliminated after the final 11 do not leave the island immediately, as castaways eliminated early do.
The final group of eliminated contestants are sent to the Jury Villa and tasked with deciding the ultimate winner of the competition.
A spokesperson from Network Ten told Daily Mail Australia that all remaining contestants returned to Australia together 'because they are all members of the jury or in the final'.

Early last month, Woman's Day reported they were 'still seeing each other' now that filming has ended after 'secretly hooking up' off camera.
A source told the publication: 'It's a real-life reality romance.'
The source further described Lee as being 'smitten' with El.

This week on Australian Survivor, the pair's alliance was targeted by Brooke.
She wanted to vote Lee off, but on Monday night he won the immunity idol.
Brooke then wanted El to leave, but Flick, a member of Brooke's alliance, turned on her and delivered the ultimate blindside to Brooke, joining her rivals and voting her off the show.
Brooke was eliminated and said she was 'backstabbed' by best friend Flick.
