Learn English – Word for the person who has a favorite

single-word-requests

I am wondering if there is a word for a person who has a certain favorite. Consider the following example:

A person, Jack, has two favorite fruits: apples and oranges. Another person, Jill, also has two favorites: bananas and apples.

Now there are two persons with the apple in their list of favorite fruits. Said another way, the apple has two “favoritees”. Is this a good word for this relation, or is there a better one?

Thanks in advance!
