Richard Hatch, the very first winner of the Survivor reality series, and his husband Emiliano Cabral have called it quits after 14 years of marriage.

The reality star says he's devastated, but now is looking for love himself as he moves on with his life.

Hatch declared on Twitter on Wednesday he's ready to meet someone new.  

'I'M LOOKING FOR LOVE! If you think I’m the guy for you or for someone you know, please let me know. I prefer to share the journey in partnership, and sadly, my 14-year marriage has ended. 

'Mr. Right will have to be bright enough to be kind. Thanks for your help in finding him.'

Hatch and Cabral married in 2005 in Nova Scotia, Canada, though TMZ says the couple also had a private ceremony two years prior.

It is Hatch's second marriage, as he was previously married to Joanne Mansell from 1985 to 1995. 

Hatch became the very first winner of the wildly popular and long-running Survivor series in 2000.

It wouldn't be his last time on reality television, as he also appeared on The Apprentice and The Biggest Loser. 

Hatch was sentenced to prison time for failing to pay taxes on his Survivor winnings in 2006.
