Aesha Scott has worked with many, many yachties over the course of her career. However, one particular crew member on Below Deck Mediterranean consistently stands out in Aesha’s eyes. According to Aesha, this star is “truly someone to admire.”

Aesha Scott has a lot of love for Below Deck Mediterranean’s Captain Sandy Yawn

Aesha now has some time to reflect on her Bravo tenure. And in doing so, she noted that Captain Sandy Yawn was her ideal “dream team” member.

On Instagram, Aesha posted a compilation of reels and images featuring Captain Sandy. She then honored their longstanding working relationship, writing, “From day one, when I came back to her as [her] Chief Stew, she never once questioned my management of the interior. I wasn’t perfect. I had a lot of growing still to do as a Chief Stew, but she gave me the space and the support to grow into that role, always with an open door if I ever wanted advice or a friend.”

Now, their Captain and Chief Stew relationship “has become a beautiful friendship which I treasure so much,” Aesha stressed. “What you don’t see on TV, because episodes are short and our work days are long, are the little moments I sometimes get between tasks, where the guests might be taking forever to wake up, or I have two minutes to spare between vacuuming rooms, and every single time, I choose to quickly run up to the bridge to hang [out] with Sandy.” And during these abbreviated hang sessions, they’d “laugh and talk and share things about our lives,” Aesha revealed.

Not only is Captain Sandy “wise,” but she’s also a “hilarious goofball. And I think we all know what a badass she is behind the controls!!!” She ended her post with a nod of thanks to Captain Sandy’s leadership.

Congratulations are in order for Malia White! The former Below Deck Mediterranean star just made a subtle announcement on Instagram that she and her partner are expecting their first baby. How sweet!?

Malia White of Below Deck Med fame is pregnant

Taking to Instagram on February 1 to share a few holiday and end-of-year photos, Malia from Below Deck Med (which just wrapped Season 10) revealed that she’s pregnant.

“Finally posting Sweden & a few end of 2025 bits,” she wrote in the caption of the carousel. It included photos of her and her partner, as well as holiday snaps and photos with friends.

Subtly included in the carousel was Malia’s pregnancy reveal. In slide three, Malia cradles a baby pump and poses in front of a neon sign, which says: “She is future you.”

The post quickly racked up thousands of likes, along with congratulatory comments from friends and fans. “Omg subtle pregnancy announcement, LOVE,” commented one person. “Oh my gosh, I had no clue!! Congratulations!!” someone else said.

Malia’s partner isn’t tagged in the photo, but Bravo TV reported last year that her boyfriend’s name is Robert. That report followed months of Instagram hard launches. She first posted a photo of Robert while they holidayed in Antigua in April 2024. Malia has continued to post photos of herself and Robert, including one post captioned: “I’d be his plus one any day!”

Malia first appeared on Below Deck Med as a deckhand in Season 2 in 2017. She returned as the bosun for a very dramatic Season 5 in 2020 and then again for Season 6 in 2021, but didn’t come back for a fourth season. Instead, Malia took a job as a chief officer on another vessel. According to her Instagram, she’s still working as a chief officer, alongside work as a charter and sales broker.

BravoCon Gold Stage: Below Deck Down Under

Tonight, Below Deck Down Under Season 4 premieres. And when it does, several familiar faces will be at the helm. This season, Captain Jason Chambers clearly scored a major win with the casting department. But even though he’s getting the cream of this franchise’s crop, problems will still arise onboard.

This season, Captain Jason’s right-hand lady is none other than Daisy Kelliher, who jumped ship from Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Since the fate of BDSY remains unknown, this opportunity is a great one for Daisy. That is, as long as her interior team can also rise to the occasion.

Meanwhile, João Franco is walking onboard as the exterior department head. Now, João has appeared on Below Deck Mediterranean and BDDU. And thankfully, he and Daisy seemingly get along this season, based on everything we’ve read so far.

Finally, in the galley, Ben Robsinson is making his way out of retirement. Ben hasn’t worked on a yacht in years. But this season, Captain Jason needed a last-minute replacement, and luckily for him, Ben just so happened to be free.

Clearly, with three returning department heads, consider fans ready for BDDU Season 4. But what have these OGs teased about this all-star season?

Daisy Kelliher says Chef Ben Robinson “challenged” her on Below Deck Down Under Season 4

As seen in the trailer, Daisy and Ben have never worked together before. And after this season, they may never work together again. Unless, that is, you take Ben’s words over Daisy’s.

To explain, when asked at BravoCon how Season 4 went, Daisy made sure to note that Ben “challenged [her] in every way possible.” However, “at first, he was great. But then I learned he couldn’t tell time, so that was a big problem when it came to dinner service,” she explained. At her side, Ben rolled his eyes in good humor, and then he challenged Daisy’s stance.

“I’m English. Different timezone,” Ben quipped. Daisy laughed, but then she further explained that their relationship this season was “interesting.” Because in addition to his failed “timekeeping,” Ben also behaves “like a guest” this season, Daisy revealed, noting her shock that Ben wasn’t wearing one of their guests’ robes while sitting on this panel.

So, what rubbed Ben the wrong way about Daisy? “Nothing really, to be honest,” Ben answered. “Actually, I thought we had a great relationship. I’m completely blindsided.”

But the way João, Daisy, and even Ben immediately started laughing teases otherwise. Whatever happens here, at least they can all laugh about it now. However, the verdict is still out on Alesia Harris’s take. As of now, her statements about BDDU Season 4 are limited.

Daisy and João Franco have a strong connection

On this same BravoCon panel, the moderator noted that Daisy seemed to share a strong bond with João, at least according to the trailer. When pressed about whether it was “love or lust at first sight” with João, Daisy stammered. After admitting that her “adrenaline [was] going so fast,” Daisy finally acknowledged that their bond was more of “a slow build.”

“I’m a slow builder, so I don’t wanna give too many spoilers away,” Daisy continued. “But João and I had a great relationship, we’re friends,” she stressed. Yet, when saying the word “friends,” Daisy did so flirtatiously, making João laugh on their shared stage. Apart from his laughter, João didn’t add anything extra to Daisy’s statement, but we do know that, whatever happens, João is already back with his ex, whose name is not Daisy.

Regardless, after their cameras went down, Daisy appeared on Watch What Happens Live. While here, she reiterated that she and João “worked well as a team.” And, as far as João goes, last October, he teased, “THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE CRAZY RIDE!!”

He was speaking about their crossover episodes with the cast of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. And as João further stressed, “Can’t wait until you all see our side of these episodes.” Fans won’t have to wait very long for this, as these hot messes are the very first charter guests of Season 4.

Captain Jason Chambers promises “dynamics” shifting in the BDDU crew

Between the hot and cold pairings of his department heads, Captain Jason might experience a turbulent season. Or not. Captains never really see the drama until each season airs. Even still, he admits that he’s lucky to have such capable yachties on board.

As Captain Jason explained to TV Insider, this season, Daisy thankfully “blew it right out of the park. Her process, of wanting to perform at her best, is all we can ask for, and she did. First and foremost, she wants to do her job very well. That’s all you can ask from the cruise.”

Regarding Ben and João, these yachties also gained Captain Jason’s trust. But the crew dynamics as a whole will either sink or swim this season, he admits.

“I think the crew dynamic that goes on, I can only imagine what happened off the boat because I hadn’t seen it myself. What I see we put together and what we came out with, I had to understand what was happening. I’m [mostly] worried about what is happening at work, but you could see the dynamics shift so many times with the crew. But at the end of the day, in front of the house, we were spot on with the charter guests,” Captain Jason detailed.

He continued, “You’re going to see João’s character come out, Daisy’s, and all the crew that participated. All of them have a great story to tell. I think we got there in the end.”

Sandy Yawn

Captain Sandy Yawn is spilling some Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 tea. During this season, three different couples (of sorts) emerged. So, when Captain Sandy appeared on Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen wondered which of these three pairings she’d label as the cutest. Here’s her response.

Captain Sandy reacted to WWHL polls about Below Deck Med

Following this week’s final episode of Season 10, Captain Sandy headed to NYC, where she next appeared on WWHL. While here, Andy played a little game called “Work! The! Polls!” with our resident Below Deck Med boss lady. Up first, Andy wondered whose side the audience landed on, meaning Victoria San Juan’s or those other two characters. As all but 1% of fans responded via this first poll, Captain Sandy and Andy alike both “felt bad” and sided with V this season.

So, V won this poll. Sorry, Joe Bradley and Kizzi Kitchener. But as Captain Sandy stressed, “After everything [V] went through,” she definitely deserved better this season.

Up next, Andy asked, “Do you think Nathan [Gallagher] is a changed man?” As viewers saw, Nathan grew annoyed with Joe’s unchanging “f*ckman” attributes this season. So, Captain Sandy sided with Nathan here, noting, “Changed.” The polls further agreed with her response.

But does Captain Sandy think that Max Salvador and Cathy Skinner “will stay together” now that their charter season has ended? “No,” Captain Sandy answered. The polls once again agreed with Captain Sandy here. But so did her next words, which noted that Max and Cathy had indeed parted ways.

But “out of all the boatmances” this season, which one snagged the cutest couple title, Andy finally asked. By a landslide, Captain Sandy and the fans voted for Nathan and Gael Cameron. As Andy and Captain Sandy agreed, the final moments of this season were “so cute,” since they featured Kayden, the precious newborn son of Nathan and Gael.

At the tail end of Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10, Kizzi Kitchener had an epiphany. And now, she’s engaged to Tom Whiteley, the same man she ended things with during filming. So, now that Kizzi is taken by a man other than Joe Bradley, are she and Joe at least still cordial? Likewise, where does Kizzi currently stand with Victoria SanJuan?

This season, Kizzi was on a quest to kiss as many yachties as she could. Joe was, for a time, at the top of her list. However, Joe had already promised V a post-filming trip to meet his mum. But promises be damned, Joe owed V nothing, and so on.

So, Joe and Kizzi gave in to their urges with a kiss or two, which pretty much shattered Kizzi and V’s friendship, and also, whatever was happening between V and Joe. Was it all worth it? Nope. Well, maybe for Kizzi, because now she knows what she wants, or so we hope.

Either way, here’s what’s happened in Kizzi’s life and relationships, both during and after filming on Below Deck Med Season 10.

Kizzi made a shocking realization on the Below Deck Med Season 10 finale

In Episode 1, Kizzi lightly flirted with several men on her cast. As she explained, she loves “playing with” boys. Proving her point, she next texted three red hearts to someone named Tommy, her “gentleman at home.” Once the men on her cast learned about Tom, however, they mostly backed away.

Kizzi hated that, though. So, in Episode 6, she called Tom, admitting, “I just wanna kiss someone.” Naturally, Tom grew upset, arguing, “That is such a mad message to receive.” By the end of their call, they had broken up, and Kizzi was crying, saying, “I f*cking hate boys.”

Once she and Tom were no more, Kizzi quipped, “The drama starts now.” She next joked about starting a “kissing BINGO card” to track how many different yachties she could kiss during Season 10. But, sure enough, one by one, Kizzi did exactly what she set out to do. By the finale episode, she had kissed EVERYONE on her cast, minus Josh Bingham.

But after her final kiss with Joe, Kizzi realized that she was “actually in love” with her ex-boyfriend, Tom. But at least, as she expressed, she could now return home to him without feeling any lingering “what if” thoughts.

Kizzi and her ex Tom are now engaged post-filming

Once Kizzi left the yacht, she headed home to her rugby-playing ex, Tom. Now, we don’t know how their initial chats went. However, we do know that things ultimately landed in Kizzi’s favor, because last November, Kizzi posted a sweet collage with Tom. And within her posted collection, we learned about their recent engagement.

The pair had been enjoying a romantic vacation in Paris, complete with white wine and macarons. Then, one day, as seen in Kizzi’s featured image, they took a side quest to a Parisian photo booth. And when they sat cuddled together in this booth, Tom pulled out something else for Kizzi to enjoy: an engagement ring. Beaming, Kizzi accepted his ask.

“With love, from Paris,” Kizzi penned in her caption. And then she headed over to TikTok, where she flashed her left ring finger, showcasing her new diamond engagement ring. “Here’s a plot twist!!!!!” she wrote.

The next day, Kizzi posted an explainer on her since-expired Instagram Stories, which The Daily Dish thankfully captured. As she detailed, “Literally straight after the season I went to see [Tom, and] we spoke about everrryyyyything. 1 year later & we’re engaged.”

Where does Kizzi stand with Joe Bradley and Victoria SanJuan today?

During the crew’s last night out on Below Deck Med, Joe desperately wanted to hook up with Kizzi. But after their final kiss, Kizzi saw the light and went to bed, leaving Joe to sort out his horniness on his own. The next morning, as the crew said their goodbyes, Joe, V, and Kizzi all walked (separately) off the yacht, forever putting an end to this messy Season 10 love triangle.

So, where do these three characters stand today? Well, let’s start with V. I actually spoke with V last December, and I asked her this very question. Regarding Joe, she answered, “I would say that Joe and I are cordial, but I definitely don’t trust that man at all.

As for her relationship with Kizzi, V admitted that Kizzi is “one of those people that I won’t ever trust again.” However, unlike Joe, Kizzi is “watching the episodes,” and then apologizing, V revealed, shockingly adding, “She’s actually the person I talk to the most. I’m really excited for her. I wish her and Tom the best.”

So, what about Kizzi and Joe? Well, as Joe recently shared with The Daily Dish, he and Kizzi still chat here and there. As he explained, “We’re still in contact. We sometimes message each other and laugh about the hate comments we get. People are very passionate!”

All’s well that ends well horribly on Below Deck Med.

Tonight, we say goodbye to the yachties of Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10. But within this cast, we spotted four crew members who truly understood their assignments.

For some, Season 10 was a period of growth, which they accepted head-on. For others, it meant broken friendships and new challenges, which they didn’t always master. And, for one of these yachties, Season 10 marked one final chance to let her hair down, which she definitely did by kissing as many frogs as possible. But, all things considered, Fans truly enjoyed everyone on this cast.

Even those who made viewers cringe this season, they all still managed to work hard amidst their messiness. And thanks to their collective efforts, Season 10 was a solid step in the right direction for this franchise.

In recent years, toxic narratives consumed Below Deck Med. Love triangles, warring cast members, and lazy, combative crew members alike overshadowed the original point of this franchise. But thankfully, Season 10 marked a turnaround for this series.

Within Season 10, the storylines were plentiful and inspiring, with a touch of messiness, unlike prior seasons, which, again, mostly focused on the latter. For this, we can easily thank four of these yachties, who consistently showed up and showed out, doing their best to make Season 10 shine.

Aesha Scott

Aesha Scott is a gem of a human. Further helping her case, for the first time in a long time, Aesha started and ended this season with a capable team. We can finally thank the casting department for this win, which Aesha also celebrated during the first couple of episodes.

But it wasn’t just Lady Luck that brought out the best in Aesha. Instead, it was simply Aesha being herself, per usual. For example, when Kizzi Kitchener made waves for flirting with everyone, Aesha consistently encouraged her to think things through. While Kizzi didn’t take her advice, Aesha continued to call her out in a firm, albeit loving manner throughout this season.

Likewise, when her other girls faced life-changing narratives, Aesha was always nearby, offering words of life and even a tender ceremony for one of their late exes during Episode 14. So, for her abilities to lead without showing favoritism, alongside her massive Kiwi heart, Aesha was one of the top yachties in Season 10.

Victoria SanJuan

Victoria SanJuan, best known as V, started Season 10 in the interior department. However, as she explained, she preferred working on deck. But after losing her boyfriend to a drowning accident, V felt safer, both emotionally and physically, working indoors. Regardless, after a handful of charters came and went, everything quickly changed for V.

Unlike Aesha, Nathan Gallagher received the short end of the stick with his initial deck team. So, a double-firing went down, which created two openings on his crew. After careful consideration, V rose to this occasion, pushing past her traumas to fill one of these voids. And from Episode 5 on, V did nothing but grow and learn on deck, making her one of Nathan’s most valuable crew members this season.

V clocked Nathan’s initial urges to yell at his team. However, V seemed to understand his frustrations, so she never spoke back or treated Nathan poorly. Instead, she kept her head down, gaining new skills with each passing episode, even when things grew tense with Joe Bradley. For her work ethic and grit, V was a solid Season 10 yachtie.

Cathy Skinner

V’s new gig on deck left an opening in the interior, which Cathy Skinner expertly slid into. Equal parts “Mary Poppins” and Aubrey Plaza, this stew made waves in all the right ways, from the jump.

Cathy is “absolutely stunning,” said Joe. Max Salvador agreed. Max ended up winning Cathy’s heart in Season 10, and their care for each other was sweet. But when not cuddling Max in one of their bunks, or dodging chicken nuggets on deck, Cathy was working her arse off in the interior, never settling for anything less than perfection in her position.

Even when Cathy learned that her stepfather had died, she cried and rested, then, she exited her cabin, fully dressed and ready to return to her job. Many people couldn’t move like this, which is beyond understandable. But Cathy is a different breed. Cathy won fans over greatly in Season 10.

Josh Bingham

Josh Bingham also worked extremely hard this season. But when this chef wasn’t fretting over plated versus family-styled dinner services, he was making viewers laugh. I mean, what’s a guy to do when everyone’s hooking up, but no one is smart enough to go for him? Well, Josh chose to smile in real time, but in his confessionals, this man grabbed his guitar and knocked out several original bangers, narrating the various absurdities he encountered.

Likewise, Josh befriended everyone on this cast. He had beef with no one, minus one stressful moment in the galley with Cathy. Additionally, his guests loved everything he prepared, minus the New Yorkers during his final charter. As seen in Episode 17, these guests wanted what they wanted, even if their desires were out of season.

Regardless, Josh still managed to provide his final guests with everything they asked for, because, as seen in Season 10, he is just that great of a chef.

And now, the main question is, did Bravo also adore any of these yachties, at least enough to bring them back for Season 11? Only time will tell.

Victoria SanJuan has watched all of her scenes on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10. So now, she wants to make one thing very “clear” about her former pairing with Joe Bradley. R-E-S-P-E-C-T is all that V ever wanted, and she isn’t here for any other type of tale.

Victoria “V” SanJuan opens up about her Below Deck Mediterranean boatmance

When Joe joined filming following a double firing on the deck team, his eyes immediately settled on V. Oh, and also, Kizzi Kitchener. However, Kizzi already had a man at home. So, Joe veered more towards V.

Shortly into their boatmance, Joe promised V his undivided heart. He also asked her to join him after filming to meet his mum. These types of statements are indicative of a solid, committed relationship, or so V (and most of the fans) thought. But then, Kizzi ended things with her man, promptly short-circuiting Joe’s brain.

So, when V briefly left filming to physically and mentally rest at a nearby hotel, Joe and Kizzi crept into a corner without cameras and made out. Once V rejoined the yacht, she learned of their antics and ended things with Joe. In response, Joe insisted that he had done nothing wrong. Instead, V was taking things too far, since they were not even officially dating.

So, in a new interview with The Daily Dish, V is now fact-checking her former fling’s reactions. As she stressed, “I want to make it clear that not once did I ask for a serious relationship. This is because my healing journey was always my priority. At the end of the day, I think always having respect for people is crucial and speaks volumes [about] one’s maturity and character.”

Does V wish that she had handled anything differently? Yes, she noted, stating that she wished she had been “more assertive when it came to confronting people on their lack of respect for me.”

Season 10 marked Nathan Gallagher’s first run as a bosun on Below Deck Mediterranean. As viewers saw, Nathan encountered a rather steep learning curve once onboard. But thankfully, by the end of this season, he had finally settled into his new position. Regardless, imagine our shock when the network wrapped filming in a way they’ve never done before. As seen in the tail end of Episode 18, Nathan is returning for Season 11.

Nathan realized during filming how much he missed Gael Cameron, his Season 9 crush. So, when the stars aligned to bring Gael back into his life during Season 10, Nathan did everything he could to win her over. Luckily for him, his efforts paid off. So, after Nathan said his goodbyes to the cast and crew of Below Deck Med Season 10, he and Gael rode off into the sunset as one, until, that is, a screen appeared, letting us all know they were now a family of three.

To explain, after the final yachtie strolled down the pier, leaving Season 10 in their rearview mirrors, the screen turned black. Then, lettering appeared, announcing, “11 MONTHS LATER.” In the next scene, the words “1 day before new charter season” loomed. And then we saw Nathan, brushing his teeth at home.

Then here comes Gael, entering the room holding Kayden, their newborn son. And then, a van arrives to take Nathan back to his home away from home, Captain Sandy Yawn’s yacht. Finally, fully leaning all the way into this tease, the words “TO BE CONTINUED NEXT SEASON” filled the screen, letting us all know that Nathan is soon returning for Below Deck Med Season 11.

As for Gael, she’s staying back with Kayden, at least for now. After all, anything can happen during filming, as Season 10 proved.

Below Deck Mediterranean is streaming on Peacock.

Below Deck Mediterranean - Season 10

Welcome back, Below Deck Mediterranean fans! Last week, the weather kept the final charter guests at the dock. Meanwhile, Joe and Max kept Nathan on his toes. But as the crew prepares to say their goodbyes, all bets are off, bringing this season to a rather messy conclusion. Here’s what happened on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 Episode 18, “Baby Steps.”

What happened in Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 Episode 18?

Season 10 is coming to an explosive end, thanks to two crew members who want what they want, all others be damned. But thankfully, another returning, well-known face brings a pleasant surprise to this mix. Wildly, this yachtie’s presence also reveals a spoiler for Season 11.

First, readers, I’m sorry. Second, “Kizzi’s f*cking naughty, mate. I want to smell her vagina,” Joe admits. “For f*cks’ sake,” Nathan thankfully quips.

Nathan asks Joe to “chill out,” which confuses Joe. Nathan used to act like him. But as Nathan explains, he is ready for “a new chapter.”

Kizzi and Joe feel differently. She sends Joe an image of her busted toe, which Joe wants to “kiss.” He’ll soon get his chance, because Kizzi’s returning to the yacht. However, she can’t put any pressure on her foot.

As for Max, his “enemy, Nathan,” ruined his shot at the lead deckhand position. So, giving his “best” remains hard. Speaking of hard, Joe’s in the tender, heading to the shore to pick up Kizzi. Likewise, Nathan is in his bunk texting Gael Cameron, while emotionally daydreaming about marrying his Season 9 crush.

Outside, Kizzi jumps back on board from the tender, landing on Joe. V sees. “I might lose it eventually,” V admits.

The guests want a very late dinner. Josh hates this. “But these guests have been a tough one,” so Josh is ready to go all out, complete with dry ice.

On another apologetic note, the camera pans to Joe, joking about eating mayonnaise out of Kizzi’s bum. Emotionless, V moves herself away from their conversation.

The guests sit for dinner. Josh has provisioned everything they wanted. “Yeah, b*tch,” Aesha applauds.

Joe carries Kizzi to her bunk, making V realize that he has fully moved on from their brief romance. V walks out onto the nautibouy and lies down, crying. Nathan lies with her, growing angrier by the second at Joe.

Later, in their cabin, Nathan asks Joe to stop being “a f*cking knob.” Joe looks at Nathan for several beats before responding, “Oh my god, the f*cking big man’s talking.” He is talking, Nathan agrees, and he wants Joe to stop flirting with Kizzi. If not, Nathan is fully prepared to “smack the sh*t out of” Joe.

“Oh, really?” Joe asks. Annoyed, Nathan answers, “Do you wanna go right now?” Joe eases up. But as Nathan warns, he had better not mess up again.

Leah Yawn comes aboard

In the morning, V hugs Kizzi. She also accidentally (maybe) steps on Kizzi’s bad foot. “Whoops,” V laughs.

The deck team prepares for their final docking. Once again, Max ignores Nathan’s advice. They briefly argue.

The guests depart, leaving the crew a rather meh-like tip of $16,000. In total, however, these yachties have earned $219,000. As individuals, these stars are all walking away $19,900 richer, Captain Sandy notes.

But then, Captain Sandy flips a switch. Normally, she joins her crew for their final dinner. But tonight, her wife, Leah Yawn, is in town. So, she’s “having dinner with” Leah instead.

Max and Cathy cuddle. They have moved on from their chicken nugget squabble. And now, Max is ready “to see where we’re sailing.”

So is Kizzi, but with Joe. There’s a lot of “tension” there, she tells Cathy. Also, Kizzi broke up with her boyfriend during filming for a reason. So now, she is eager to kiss this man.

Likewise, Nathan also feels eager. But it’s because Gael is joining the crew for dinner later that night.

But first, Leah’s here! She and Captain Sandy embrace, and then they head inside to find Aesha. After, they head off on their much-needed date night.

The yachties depart for their final night out. At dinner, Nathan and Gael grow close. Joe clocks this. He invites Nathan to join him after filming, but Nathan says no, because he wants to hang out with Gael instead.

Joe moves on to Kizzi, who jokes about touching “each other on the genitals.” V sighs. But on a positive note, Max and Cathy decide to explore a relationship outside of filming. Additionally, Max and Nathan finally make peace.

In their van, Joe and Kizzi finally give in to their desires and start making out. Cathy joins in, kissing Kizzi. But, wildly, once onboard, Kizzi leaves Joe to struggle through his horniness alone. After kissing everyone, sans Josh, Kizzi has just realized that she actually loves Tom, her ex.

In the morning, Cathy and Max leave together, as do Gael and Nathan, who decided to take “baby steps” back into their relationship. Before V leaves, however, she stands her ground with Joe. He doesn’t “care” though. As he explains, he is not a “f*ck boy,” he’s “a f*ck man.”

Then, the screen turns black. Lettering appears, announcing, “11 MONTHS LATER.” We next read “1 day before new charter season,” as the screen reveals Nathan, brushing his teeth.

Finally, we see Gael entering the room with Kayden, their newborn son. As a van arrives to take Nathan back to filming, the words “TO BE CONTINUED NEXT SEASON” fill the screen.

Below Deck Mediterranean is streaming on Peacock.

Dare we say that Joe Bradley may be projecting? As if the Below Deck Mediterranean star should share his opinions about fidelity. Or lack thereof. The deck hand alluded to a potential situation during a conversation with Nathan Gallagher about his love, Gael Cameron.

Gael made an quick appearance on Season 10. She filled in for deck hand Victoria SanJuan. And as a bonus, got to spend time with her then on-again off-again partner Nathan. For whatever reason, Joe started questioning Gael’s integrity when she decided to go surfing with some male friends.

Joe Bradley spoke of former Below Deck Med co-star Gael Cameron potentially being “unfaithful”

“She asked me, ‘Would it be an issue?’ And I said, ‘No,’” Nathan told Joe during Episode 17 of Below Deck Mediterranean.

“If she can’t behave, know what I mean? This could be a little test,” he said. When Nathan replied, “It’s not a test,” Joe doubled-down. He added, “If she’s unfaithful, mate, well then.”

“I’m not worried about cheating. We’re not even together,” Nathan said in a confessional interview. “I just want to get Gael back on this yacht, because I need to know where the hell we stand.”

“I think I’ve grown this season as a person. Having Gael around, like in my life—even just a little bit—I’m wanting to be a better version of myself,” Nathan explained. “I hope Joe, for the sake of our friendship, doesn’t keep making these dumb*ss decisions, because I don’t want to be associated with that. The man needs to wise up and grow up.”

The bosun continued, “I’ve grown since last season. I can see the distance it’s created, to see him do the same sh*t time and time again. Shows me that he has no consideration for anyone apart from himself. I just—it might be time to move on from that kind of friendship.”

Nathan’s comments speak to his maturity. It’s good to know that he and Gael gave love another shot. They welcomed son Kayden Cameron Gallather in June 2025.

Catch Below Deck Mediterranean Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
