Andy Cohen’s Maury Moment: The First ‘Below Deck’ Baby Deserved Better

'Below Deck' Exclusive Clip: Barbie Pascual Refuses To Change Her Signature Margarita Recipe For Fraser Olender

'below deck' chief stew fraser olender has a "love interest" of his own this season: "i've always been a third wheel", former 'below deck' charter guests hit choppy waters as they are charged with identity theft in prescription drug scheme, alex propson on whether or not casual sex can exist in 'winter house': "it's difficult, but i don't think it's impossible".

The Below Deck franchise has given us a lot of firsts. Across Below Deck , Below Deck Mediterranean , and Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Bravo has aired everything from nudity to near-death experiences to in-depth analysis of maritime law. And now, after a total of 15 seasons have aired, we seem to have the very first Below Deck baby on our hands, a child that deserves a much better welcoming than she has received so far.

During Part 2 of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Reunion, host Andy Cohen questioned stew Dani Soares about the daughter she welcomed in May and if the father is deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux. It was an easy jump to make as we watched the two slink into the guest cabin for a private night of fun throughout this season which has aired for the majority of the spring, just as she revealed the pregnancy. But it was filmed at the end of last summer, so…anyone with basic math skills knew it added up.

And before we heard from Dani or JL, sure, there was the chance that maybe she met a different tall and hunky and more mature man and also had some fun. However, it not only seemed unlikely, it turns out, it never happened. When finally given the floor to talk, Dani said, “Well, let’s put it this way: this baby was made during the season while we had cameras 24/7 with us and I only slept with one guy.” And what has that guy’s reaction been since learning he’s the father? “He hasn’t supported me at all in any way,” Dani revealed. “He thinks it’s not his child and he doesn’t want to have anything to do with it,” she said of JL’s reaction.

She went on to detail how she found out she was pregnant as soon as she got back to Australia after the charter season in Croatia and that initially JL was “Obviously a bit shocked and everything but he seemed supportive.” But then it changed, and by December of last year he was “not interested anymore.” That became apparent on New Year’s Day when she got a message from him that said, “Don’t go around telling people I’m the dad of this child,” and saying he wanted a DNA test to prove it. Dani agreed as long as he organized and paid for it, which has yet to happen, and said he has asked about the baby two-three times total this year. She went on to say, “She’s gonna be amazing,” about her daughter, and that she would “Do my best every day to give her everything she needs.”

Andy was sure to tell her, “This girl is going to come into a world where she is very loved and you’re gonna be an incredible mom.” Dani’s pals also had her back, with Alli Dore saying, “She’s working so hard…she’s been amazing,” and of JL, “It’s incredibly disgusting and frustrating that he won’t even acknowledge the situation. My heart breaks for Dani but she’s so strong and I know she can do this without him and she will be better off.” Gary King was also sure to add that he “does not have a spine,” which, if it weren’t so true, would warrant some kind of joke about his height here, but it’s just too disappointing to even have fun with.

For her part, Dani was also sure to say she wished he was at the reunion so everyone could hear his side, though he later got his own sit-down with Andy. “Five days after the reunion was recorded, Jean-Luc found time in his work schedule to speak with Andy,” the screen read, as it was previously announced he was on coward, sorry, on charter . And let’s not forget, angel on Earth Colin found a way to drive 90 minutes to Wifi, so it feels like JL (also not the most motivated cast member we’ve ever seen on the show) could’ve figured out a way to face his fellow castmates.

“It was really unfortunate, I did want to be there but I had a charter and it was our primary’s daughter’s birthday so basically one of the biggest days of the whole charter that I could not take time off for,” is the excuse he gave. It seemed as though Andy was lobbing a few softball questions to start off the interview, but when asked what lessons he learned, JL replied, “Do not get intimate with any of the crew.” Ok bro, game on! He admitted, “The status of my relationship with Dani is kind of a little uncertain,” and that the two talk “a little bit back and forth but not as much as we probably should.” He added that “there’s some things that are to be questioned,” but that “we’re trying to be adults about this whole entire process and figure it out.”

Except he seems to have way more to figure out than she does. He said after he asked for the paternity test that it “turned into a lot of backlash and her not wanting to hear from me,” yet he thought, due to his lack of experience with women, that it was a “very understandable question to ask in any situation.” To confirm: it is not. He went on to say that he told Dani, “If this is my child, I want to be a part of that child’s life every single day as much as I can for the rest of her life.”

It’s the same sentiment he expressed this past weekend in an Instagram caption , and one that he repeated over and over again during his time with Andy, though that didn’t make it truer. In fact, it often felt as though someone had told him what to say, but he didn’t quite know what it meant, or that he meant it . Saying you want to be involved “100%” is very noble. But he had a relationship with Dani, they cared about each other, and so far, he’s been involved 0%.

In fact, the extent of his involvement is that he claims he will happily pay for the DNA test and that it’s gotten as far as him reaching out to her doctor’s office, even saying he wanted to be present for the birth. But none of those things have materialized, as Lilly was born on May 26th, and as the screen savagely stated, “Jean-Luc and Dani have yet to speak to each other.” Bro. Is the only good thing to come out of this mess going to be this sick burn ? Because, somehow, even his headphones were irritating.

Every season, viewers tune in to this show to see how crazy the guests are, how beautiful the landscapes are, and mostly, who hooks up on the boat. And almost every season, multiple crew members come through for us. However, there has never been a Below Deck baby before, and beautiful Lilly seems to be the first. We’ve always known that what happens on (or below) deck never stays on deck, but this drama has really jumped. Despite JL’s mom being messy online, Dani’s fellow crew members have truly had her back and rallied around her in comment sections as well as privately showing their support.

And for her part, Dani has been a class act. She didn’t post a photo of her pregnant belly until April when it became too hard to hide it, and has vowed to not “throw dirt” on JL’s name to the child. She’s remained admirably optimistic and strong publicly and seemed fully ready to embrace motherhood, despite not deserving to face it in this way.

But Lilly could’ve had a better celebration. A Below Deck Baby special on Bravo (or hell, even on Peacock), like a baby shower we would actually want to see! The crew members would show up with smiles and nautical-themed presents and Daisy could get wine-drunk again — it would’ve been awesome! This baby should be celebrated Andy-style, not Maury-style. It’s a wonderful, beautiful, special occasion. She’s being born to a loving mom who has a fantastic group of coworkers-turned-pals and now an international audience of people that also wish the best for her. I hope she never has to sit through that reunion or hear its pathetic excuses, and simply know that as far as her mom is concerned, she will always be the primary.

Pregnant Below Deck Sailing Yacht Star Dani Soares Reveals the Sex of Her Baby

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

It's a girl!

On Wednesday, May 12, Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Dani Soares took to Instagram to reveal the sex of her first child. And, from her gush-worthy post online, it's clear that the Bravo personality is so excited to become the mom to a daughter.

"I've always been a girlie girl, even when I used to spend hours everyday playing RPG," she wrote on the social media site. "When I found out I was pregnant, all I really wanted was a healthy baby and didn't really care about anything else. But now, I'm looking forward to having my little girl and developing that mother and daughter relationship."

Unsurprisingly, members of the Below Deck family took to the comments to congratulate Dani on her pregnancy update. Izzy Wouters , who was the season eight lead deckhand on Below Deck , responded, "The luckiest little girl to have you as mama." Chef Rachel Hargrove also complimented the mom-to-be, writing, "Looking good mama."

Craziest Guests on Below Deck

Earlier this month, Dani's chief stewardess Daisy Kelliher exclusively told E! News that she was "very happy" for the stewardess. "I wish her all the love and support and, as soon as Australia opens, I plan to go over there and visit," she said. "I haven't spoken to her too much about it. She's very busy with studying and working and her pregnancy…So, I definitely don't want to overwhelm Dani at all."

As E! News readers well know, on Sunday, April 25, Dani surprised fans by announcing she was pregnant with her first child . In a post shared with her Instagram followers, the Below Deck Sailing Yacht star gave a close-up look at her baby bump. Alongside the selfie, the yachtie wrote at the time, "It's just you and I little baby."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Dani Soares & Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux Air Out Their Baby Drama

During part two of the below deck sailing yacht reunion, dani soares and jean-luc cerza-lanaux discussed their baby drama, including the status of a paternity test..

Below Deck baby drama.

During part two of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season two reunion, which aired tonight, June 22 on Bravo, Dani Soares and Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux gave an update on their relationship status and discussed the unconfirmed paternity of the stewardess' daughter Lilly .

As E! News readers well know, Dani surprised Below Deck fans when she announced in April that she was going to be a mom. Before long, fans began wondering if her former co-star was the father.

And, as Dani shared in the new episode, she's pretty confident that the season two deckhand, often called JL, is the father of her daughter, telling reunion host Andy Cohen , "Well, let's put it this way, this baby was made during the season while we had cameras 24/7 with us and I only slept with one guy, so…"

As she continued, Dani claimed that her ex hasn't supported her throughout the pregnancy. "He thinks it's not his child," she added. "And he doesn't want to have anything to do with it."

Per the Bravo personality, she learned she was pregnant upon returning to Australia after filming. "I told him, and he was obviously a bit shocked and everything, but he seemed supportive," she noted. "He told me he would support me, whatever I decided to do. So, he was supportive in the beginning, and then it just changed. Like, around December things just changed, and he was just not interested anymore."

Apparently, on New Year's, Dani received a text that allegedly read: "Don't go around telling people I'm the dad of this child. And I want a DNA test." According to Dani, she agreed to the DNA test as long as Jean-Luc organized and paid for it.

"He hasn't done anything," she revealed. "I asked him again. But, since January, he's asked about the baby like, twice or three times."

To make matters worse, after a "horrible comment" allegedly made by Jean-Luc's mom, Dani now has "zero interest" in the family being "involved in [her] child's life."

However, in his own interview with Andy, Jean-Luc hit back that, if he is the father, he has every intention to be involved in Lilly's life. "The fact that people are telling me that I want nothing to do with this child, it's really tearing me up," he snapped. "All my friends and all my family know the type of person that I am and know that I want everything to do with that child…If it is mine."

Jean-Luc defended that he still didn't know for sure whether Lilly, who was not born yet at the time of taping, was his child. On the status of the paternity test, Jean-Luc relayed, "There was talk of a DNA test, and I still want to do it…We've gone as far as me trying to reach out to her doctor's office."

Later on, Jean-Luc claimed he wanted to be present at the birth, noting, "The fact of me knowing that this could possibly be my child and not being there for the birth is f--king killing me."

After watching his co-stars' feelings on the drama, Jean-Luc asked them to not "judge a book by its cover." He went on to confess that he even considered moving to Australia. "I've thought about every possible avenue, every f--king avenue, and I just haven't come up with one yet," he said. "To Dani, what we had on the show, for me, was real. I don't care what anybody says, even now that we're going through what we're going through."

Jean-Luc went on to call their relationship a "genuine" one and offered up an apology. "The fact that we are at where we are now, I'm really sorry," he remarked. "I would assume to say that most of it is my fault. Maybe, because I'm the boy that you think that I am."

Before concluding, he declared that he wanted to be there for Dani and wanted to co-parent Lilly, if she is his daughter.

"She is here. She is perfect. And we trying to figure this thing out," the Bravo star, 33, wrote on social media alongside a sweet snap that showed her holding her baby girl's hand.

"We both healthy and happy. Thank you for all the support," she continued, adding, "Will post more once mummy had some rest 😂."

Many of the reality star's Below Deck pals were quick to congratulate the new mom on her bundle of joy. "Can't wait to meet her! So proud of you," said Izzy Wouters, while Ciara Layne Duggan added, "Congratulations darling!!! ❤️"

"Super mum!!!! 😍😍😍," added Soares' costar Alli Dore.

"It's just you and I little baby," she captioned the photo .

In another candid social post , Soares shared her pregnancy journey wasn't how she "dreamed" or "planned" it would be.

"From the moment I knew you were here, I've been making sure I'm doing everything I can to help you grow healthy inside of me and to make sure you'll have what you need when you out," Soares wrote. "This is not how I dreamed, not how I planned, but you not unwanted."

"Bringing a life to this world is a blessing and you are here to show me I have a reason to keep going and a purpose in this life," she added. "You already so loved."

As Soares revealed the sex of her first baby earlier this month, she shared how much she's looking forward to " developing that mother and daughter relationship ."

"I've always been a girlie girl, even when I used to spend hours everyday playing RPG. When infound [sic] out I was pregnant, all I really wanted was a healthy baby and didn't really care about anything else," Soares wrote on social media.

On this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Soares, the 2nd stewardess on the Parsifal III, made headlines for her "boatmance" with deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux, 24, which has recently played out on the show.

"I'm happy to be out with my crew, but I'd rather be hanging out with Dani alone," Lanaux said in a recent episode. "I haven't had a serious relationship really ever, but you can definitely tell that there's something there, the sparkle in her eye or the smile on me from ear to ear."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Screen Rant

Below deck: alli dore announces pregnancy ahead of season 2 reunion.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Alli Dore has announced she is pregnant and expecting her first child ahead of the season 2 reunion special.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Alli Dore has announced she is pregnant with her first child. The announcement comes just ahead of the season 2 reunion special. It feels like there must have been something in the water, as multiple stars are expecting. 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's reunion aired on Monday , and boy was there a lot of tea to spill. Dore already teased fans that there would be an immense amount of drama. Bravo fans are looking forward to hearing how the love triangle went down. Dore joined the brand new season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht as the third stew. She stole a few hearts, including Gary King’s, as he slept his way around the boat. This led to a very awkward love triangle. But all crew members should be well aware the boatmances never work out, and the love bubble always pops.

The talk of the town had been about Dani Soare’s baby daddy , but on Monday, Dore revealed via Instagram that she not only had a new man in her life but that they were expecting a little bundle of joy. The expectant mother wrote, “ So excited for this new adventure with you and our little ocean baby @bennithompson xx”

Bravo fans and former crew members flocked to the comment section to send their good wishes. Soares, who just gave birth, recently wrote, YAAAYYY CONGRATULATIONS Lilly can't wait to meet her new friend ... You 2 are gonna be amazing parents cause you are 2 amazing humans. While chief stew, Daisy Kelliher wrote that she was a very sexy mama. Fans took a bit of a different approach as they realized the reality star probably wouldn’t be back for season 3 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . 

Everyone seemed over the moon for Dore as they expressed how wonderful she would be as a mother. Bravo viewers watched Dore obliterate King and Sydney Zaruba during the reunion as she explained her side of their love connection. But it looks like all worked out well in the end since Dore found her prince charming and will have a little family of her own very soon. Maybe Dore and Soares will even have play dates since they live on the same continent.

All aboard!

“Below Deck Sailing Yacht” star Alli Dore is expecting her first child with boyfriend Benny Thompson.

“So excited for this new adventure with you and our little ocean baby @bennithompson xx,” the pregnant reality star captioned a collection of baby bump photos Monday, while he wrote on Instagram , “So proud of you, you’re going to be the most amazing mumma.”

In recent days, Dore called Thompson, a former pal of 12 years, “the love of my life” while talking to fans in an Instagram question-and-answer session ( via Bravo ).

“We’re currently moving into our new house together,” she said last week. “We’re both so excited! He’s got a heart of gold and treats me like a precious jewel[.] I’m really lucky.”

Some of Dore’s co-stars, including Dani Soares — who is a new mom to a baby girl — and chef Natasha De Bourg shared congratulatory messages on their friend’s pregnancy announcement.

“My heart is filled with joy knowing that you deserve nothing but the greatest of love,” De Bourg wrote. “That tiny little bud will have the most amazing mom on the world so full of life and love …”

Clearly excited for future playdates, Soares commented, “YYAAAYYY CONGRATULATIONS…Lilly can’t wait to meet her new friend ❤️❤️❤️ You 2 are gonna be amazing parents cause you are 2 amazing humans ❤️❤️❤️.”

Soares, 33, announced her pregnancy in April and gave birth to her daughter in May. While it is unclear who the little girl’s father is, “Below Deck” star Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux recently addressed speculation that he’s the dad.

“There’s a lot of gossip about my social media silence so I think it’s time to clear the air,” the deckhand wrote via Instagram . “While others are off chasing their 15 minutes of fame, I am working on a yacht in Central America. I am heartbroken to have to hear about the baby’s birth on social media and read headlines, like, ‘Dani Soares Says Her Baby’s Father Doesn’t Want Anything to Do With It.’ All I can say is if it’s mine, I want to be involved 100%.”

He continued, “As someone who grew up with parents who weren’t together, I wouldn’t wish that on any child. Not looking for a pity party. Just want everyone to know how strongly I feel about this, especially the haters who are so sure I am neglecting my responsibility. No one wants to know more than me if this is my baby girl!”

In response to his post, Dore stuck up for her pal and commented, “No one is stopping you from getting a paternity test.”

‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Season 2 Reunion Revelations: Dani’s Pregnancy, Gary’s Love Triangle and More

Just the beginning! The Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast virtually came together to break down everything that happened during the show’s second season — and nothing was off-limits.

During part one of the reunion on Monday, June 21, Glenn Shephard , Colin Macrae , Gary King , Natasha De Bourg , Daisy Kelliher , Dani Soares , Alli Dore and Sydney Zaruba returned to reflect on their highs and lows.

Deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux , who had some big questions to answer about his relationship with Dani since the season wrapped , was noticeably absent. However, host Andy Cohen confirmed that Jean-Luc did a separate interview for the reunion where he addressed the speculation that he’s the father of Dani’s baby .

“If that is my child, I want everything and anything to do with that child’s life,” Jean-Luc said in a preview for part two of the reunion, set to air on June 22.

Prior to the reunion, Jean-Luc took to social media to finally respond to fan’s theories about his relationship with Dani, who welcomed her first child in May.

“There’s a lot of gossip about my social media silence so I think it’s time to clear the air. While others are off chasing their 15 minutes of fame, I am working on a yacht in Central America,” he wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 18. “[I’m] heartbroken to have to hear about the baby’s birth on social media and read headlines, like, ‘Dani Soares Says Her Baby’s Father Doesn’t Want Anything to Do With It.’ All I can say is if it’s mine, I want to be involved 100 [percent].”

Jean-Luc continued: “As someone who grew up with parents who weren’t together, I wouldn’t wish that on any child. Not looking for a pity party. Just want everyone to know how strongly I feel about this, especially the haters who are so sure I am neglecting my responsibility. No one wants to know more than me if this is my baby girl!”

Many members of the Below Deck universe quickly responded to the post and called out Jean-Luc for not doing the right thing, including costar Sydney, who asked, “What is wrong with you?!”

“Don’t play the innocent victim here JL. Man the fuk [sic] up,” Colin added in the comments.

Season 2 chef Natasha added: “I’m sorry JL but sounds like a pity party to me. Why didn’t you reach out 9 months ago ??? No woman deserves to be treated the way you treated Danny [sic]”

While Jean-Luc didn’t appear on part one of the reunion, he was still a large topic of conversation between the crew.

“I think we blame everything on J.L. He’s not here, it makes sense, right? Anything that went wrong this season,” Glenn joked as the rest of the cast members laughed.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 2 Reunion Revelations: Dani's Pregnancy, Gary's Love Triangle and More

Just the beginning! The Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast virtually came together to break down everything that happened during the show's second season — and nothing was off-limits. During part one of the reunion on Monday, June 21, Glenn Shephard , Colin Macrae , Gary King , Natasha De Bourg , Daisy Kelliher , Dani Soares , Alli Dore and Sydney Zaruba returned to reflect on their highs and lows. Deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux , who had some big questions to answer about his relationship with Dani since the season wrapped , was noticeably absent. However, host Andy Cohen confirmed that Jean-Luc did a separate interview for the reunion where he addressed the speculation that he's the father of Dani's baby . "If that is my child, I want everything and anything to do with that child's life," Jean-Luc said in a preview for part two of the reunion, set to air on June 22. Prior to the reunion, Jean-Luc took to social media to finally respond to fan's theories about his relationship with Dani, who welcomed her first child in May.

The Crew's Thoughts on Jean-Luc's Work Ethic

The Below Deck stars didn't hold back when they spoke about the deckhand’s absent approach to his job, with chief stew Daisy referring to Jean-Luc as "absolutely moronic" while explaining why she refused to let Dani take the blame for Jean-Luc not completing his duties during their night shifts.

Colin also opened up about his relationship with Jean-Luc throughout the season, some of which fans didn't get to see. 

"I didn't specifically get on with J.L. from the start, we didn't click. But I felt like he kind of didn't want to take instructions from Gary or myself sometimes," the chief engineer said. "That was just his attitude towards work." 

Captain Glenn, who applauded Sydney for her hard work in comparison, added: "He just didn't get the urgency of what is going on."

Gary's Treatment of the Women

In response to a fan question about him "being a twat to basically all the women on the boat," Gary admitted that he did feel badly about his behavior . Shortly after, all the women except Natasha raised their hand when they were asked if they felt like the bosun didn't always treat them well.

Daisy specifically called out Gary earlier in the reunion episode for the way he spoke about her when she wasn't around. "You clearly also hated me and thought that I was a giant bitch," she revealed.

Gary, for his part, clarified: "I may have said you were acting bitchy, I never said you're a bitch.”

Dani and Her Castmates Address Her Baby's Paternity

After Dani shared that Jean-Luc did not want to be involved in her pregnancy, her costars had plenty to say about the deckhand's reaction.

"She's working so hard. She's doing 12-hour days. She's trying to get herself prepared as best as she can. And it is incredibly disgusting and frustrating that [Jean-Luc] won't even acknowledge the situation," Alli responded. "My heart breaks for Dani but she is so strong. I know that she can do this without him and will be better off."

Meanwhile, Gary claimed that Jean-Luc "does not have a spine."

"For the little respect that I had for him, that's gone out the window," he added.

Gary Had a Girlfriend

Alli dropped the bombshell that Gary had a girlfriend when he joined the boat during part two of the Below Deck reunion.

"We were in a very complicated relationship. I hadn't seen her for eight months prior to me coming on the show. Not seeing someone for eight months and growing apart in those months ... do we put a label on that? No," Gary explained after the big reveal.

For Alli, this was a major reason why she felt like it wasn't fair for Sydney to be so mad about their situation with Gary.  

"I did everything I could to be respectful in a situation but at the end of the day, when you sleep with someone when they are in a relationship, I feel like that voids you being able to treat me the way you treated me," Alli told Sydney.

Another Below Deck Baby

The former stew, who confirmed the news on social media before part one of the reunion aired , revealed that she was expecting a baby.

"Dani and I are pregnant at the same time. It's so cool!" Alli gushed about her exciting news.

Gary admitted that he didn't know his ex was pregnant, but said that he was happy for her.

"She told me when I spoke to her that her boyfriend treats her well and treats her like a princess, and at the end of the day as long as Alli is happy then I am happy," he added.

The Crossing Timeline

After Cohen asked about the crossing, Alli and Gary explained that they were an official couple during that period of time, but that it was never meant to last.

"It was inevitable that she was always leaving to Australia, so I think in the back of our minds we knew that we could never seriously work because of that," Gary clarified. "Regardless of the great chemistry and the ability to make each other laugh endlessly, and also finish each other's sentences."

Jean-Luc is the Father of Dani's Baby

"Let's put it this way. This baby was made during the season while we had cameras 24/7 with us and I only slept with one guy," Dani finally confirmed. "He hasn't supported me at all in any way. He thinks it is not his child and he doesn't want to have anything to do with it."

Dani opened up about the negativity that she saw online from people like Jean-Luc's mother and how she struggled with that.

"Obviously, I say during the whole season that I want to be a mom and have a family, but I wanted a family. That was my plan. That was my vision. I would not choose to move to a new country where I don't know anybody and choose to have a child with a 24-year-old boy that I barely knew," she emotionally revealed. "I did not plan that. I am just going with this now and I am sure my little baby girl is going to be amazing."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 Cast: Where Are They Now?

Here's what happened to Daisy, Colin, Captain Glenn and the rest of the Parsifal crew.

Considering the series filmed in August 2020, viewers are curious about the whereabouts of our Sailing Yacht favorites...and, more importantly, how the cast and crew managed to film for several weeks amid lockdown. As it turns out, the location of this season was chosen intentionally. At that time, Croatia remained one of few countries in the EU to accept American tourists. In a Reddit AMA , a producer for the show also explained that maintaining safety protocols (which likely included regular Covid testing) was key in filming this season.

Here's what happened to your favorite crew members from Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2:

Colin Macrae

Colin Macrae might serve as the Chief Engineer aboard the Parsifal III, however, when it comes to the inner workings of his relationship, things aren’t as black and white. Despite gushing over his relationship with Martina Alvarez last summer, Macrae revealed that he and Martina have officially parted ways. “Unfortunately my relationship with Martina came to an end a couple of months ago,” Colin captioned his most recent YouTube video . Although his romance is no more, Colin remains optimistic for what’s to come as he embarks on a “fresh start” in none other than Panama. Colin has also continued his efforts in creating content online documenting his many adventures in Linton Bay, Panama , where he’s resided over the course of the last few months.

Glenn Shephard

Captain Glenn Shephard is back and better than ever! The sailboat captain may only have 2 seasons of Below Deck under his belt, but his 20 years of experience certainly make him a notable addition to the Bravo family. Since his summer in Croatia last year, Gl enn has since moved to Spain , which Shephard has deemed his new “happy place.” While becoming a Bravo-lebrity can go to one’s head, Glenn has remained modest when it comes to his newfound fame. The star now offers Zoom sessions with fans of the show, where he dishes on behind-the-scenes details all while sipping cocktails on the Spanish coast.

First Officer Gary King walked away from his very first season on Below Deck Sailing Yacht feeling nothing but grateful. “Reminiscing about the last 6 weeks that have just flown by. I learned lessons that I’ll carry for life,” Gary wrote on Instagram . While fans have been rooting for him and fellow stewardess, Alli Dore to set sails on a possible romance, it appears as King has been flying solo since the series ended. After traveling about to a number of stunning locations, including Mallorca, Spain, Gary returned home to South Africa just in time for Christmas. The Bravo star has since remained in his home country, occupying himself with a series of visits to the golf range and a new passion for landscape photography and cooking.

Natasha De Bourg

The Michelin-star chef has been tuning in this season from her home in the Bahamas, and, well, she hasn't taken to it favorably. The star has posted a series of pics on her Instagram detailing her frustrations with herself on the show, claiming that she is “human and humans are imperfect.” Luckily for Natasha, her friendship with both Dani and Alli has blossomed immensely since wrapping up, and the two have been a huge support for Natasha as she cruises through these waves of criticism.

Daisy Kelliher

Being the Chief Stewardess on any yacht is no easy feat, and Daisy Kelliher is certainly feeling the burn. Following her time at sea in Croatia, Daisy, unfortunately, broke her wrist and found herself back home with mom and dad in Ireland . During lockdown, Daisy accepted a job in Antigua two months later, however, due to the current situation, her efforts at finding adventure fell flat. “I had completely lost myself,” Daisy captioned her photo on Instagram , revealing she began pushing friends away and entered a dark space. Luckily for the Below Deck star, she feels like herself again and is set to start a new job. During a live chat, Daisy revealed to co-star, Sydney Zaruba that she is most likely headed back to Europe, although she’s left much of what she’ll be doing a mystery.

Dani Soares

Dani Soares soared to being a fan favorite this current season and we don’t see that changing anytime soon. Soares, who reigns all the way from Brazil, has gone on to make quite a name for herself since her summer in Croatia. The star currently resides in Sydney, Australia where she is expecting her very first child. Dani revealed the news on social media back in April, however, both her due date and daddy status remain unknown. Although fans have inquired who the father is, Soares made it clear that it isn’t “anybody’s business.” As she embarks on her journey towards motherhood, Dani is currently working as a beauty therapist in the land down under all while taking in her recent rise to fame.

Alli Dore is the third stewardess to join the hit Bravo series, and boy are we glad she did. After wrapping up her summer in Croatia, Alli returned home to Australia, where she was born and raised. Her love for boating didn’t stop when the summer did, as she went on to spend her time in the Whitsundays Islands. As for Alli’s personal life, the star made an appearance on the Unpopular podcast where she revealed that she is pansexual. [I am] “attracted to people’s aura,” she revealed. Alli has gone on to start her very own IGTV series called Pita Party , which she stars in alongside Sailing Yacht co-stars, Daisy and Dani.

Sydney Zaruba

Sydney Zaruba found herself in quite the love triangle last summer in Croatia, but today, she is all about keeping her inner circle small. Sydney, who was born and raised in Florida, moved on over to the stunning island of Mallorca, Spain where she currently works on a 42-meter sailing yacht! This is nothing new for Sydney; considering her experience on Below Deck and, of course, her long history of sailing with her family. In addition to being at sea, Sydney decided to become a travel agent with Explorateur Travel. While the cast of Sailing Yacht has gone their separate ways since the summer ended, Sydney still managed to bump into none other than Captain Glenn on the streets of Palma.

Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux

Jean-Luc may be the youngest Below Deck crew member but he certainly makes up for it in height? Following his summer working on the Parsifal III, Jean-Luc traveled to Mallorca, Spain, an idea many of his co-stars had as well. Shortly after, the 25-year-old made his way on over to Costa Rica , which he’s called home for the last several months. Despite the remarkable views, Jean-Luc is entering some rocky waters as a plethora of rumors have surfaced questioning his role in Dani Soares’ pregnancy. Not only have fans been flooding his social media with questions concerning whether he’s the father or not, but fellow charter guest, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow also went on to add fuel to the fire. In an Instagram video posted back in April, Barrie claimed that Jean-Luc “was too busy getting the other one [Dani] pregnant … He’s gonna be a daddy,” he said. While Dani laughed off the comment, Jean-Luc has yet to address the rumors.

Daisy Kelliher dishes Below Deck Sailing Yacht success, reveals if she still stalks to Gary King after scandal

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Daisy Kelliher has dished about her success on the hit show ahead of Season 5.

Daisy has appeared on three seasons of Below Deck Sailing Yacht and helped turn the show around after a lackluster first season.

Despite a serious rift in the dream team trio of Colin, Daisy, and Gary following Season 4, fans still can’t get enough of them.

Ahead of her fourth stint on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Daisy has opened up about life following her success and how she ended up on the show.

Daisy lost her job during the COVID-19 pandemic and at the urging of friends, she applied to be on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Speaking with The Irish Independent, Daisy admitted that a couple of weeks after applying, she was filming Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 in Croatia.

Daisy Kelliher dishes Below Deck Sailing Yacht success

Although it may seem like Daisy’s life has changed drastically since she became a staple on the sailing franchise, she insists that’s not the case.

“My life hasn’t changed dramatically, but there have been small, subtle changes – it’s been fun,” she expressed to the outlet.

As Monsters and Critics previously reported, one big change for Daisy is her new friendship with Hollywood A-list star Christina Applegate.

Daisy also looked back on her life since her Below Deck Sailing Yacht debut, admitting she didn’t think she would get the gig, but is beyond happy she did.

“The last three years have been kind of a whirlwind, I really can’t complain. I’m getting to do all my yachting work and slowly getting to do other things as well,” Daisy stated.

With her fourth season hitting Bravo airwaves this year, one can’t help but wonder how much longer Daisy will still be on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

“I’m just being a ‘yes person’ at the moment. The last few years have changed very quickly, so my attitude right now is just saying yes and seeing where things take me,” Daisy spilled. “I’ve done everything from podcasts to the show, to still doing both, so every day is very different. I don’t know what the future holds right now.”

Along with opening up about her success on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Daisy also shared if she still speaks to Gary following sexual misconduct allegations against him.

Daisy Kelliher reveals if she still talks to Gary King

Last summer, Gary was accused of sexual misconduct by a production team member. However, even before that, Daisy and Gary were at odds over things that went down during Season 4, especially her hooking up with Colin.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans have wondered where Daisy and Gary stand today following the scandal and their fallout. After all, Gary was removed from BravoCon after the allegations against him came to light, so no resolution to his and Daisy’s friendship was revealed there.

During an Instagram Stories Q&A session, Daisy asked who she talks to from the show. Dani Soares and Gary were two names Daisy brought up immediately.

Although she did mention she keeps in touch with others like Alli Dore, Daisy also declared that they all simply live different lives. Daisy confirmed that no other cast members from Below Deck Sailing Yacht live in London, where she resides.

Daisy frequently hangs with Below Deck stars Fraser Olender and Hayley De Sola Pinto. She also spends time with Below Deck Med alum Courtney Veale since they live in London.

The wait to see Daisy Kelliher back on Below Deck Sailing Yacht won’t be much longer. Captain Glenn hinted at when the Parsifal III crew will be back, and you can read what he had to say here.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is currently on hiatus on Bravo. Seasons 1-4 are streaming on Peacock.

Below Deck Season 11 Episode 7: Release Date & Preview

T he eleventh season of “Below Deck,” which explores the day-to-day activities of the crew members who reside and work on these lavish mega yachts, is scheduled to debut in February.

Captain Lee Rosbach departed the program after ten seasons. The boat is now under the direction of Captain Kerry Titheradge, who fans may remember from “Below Deck Adventure.”

This season, the crew of the luxurious yacht M/Y St. David is working on the Caribbean island nation of Grenada. The Bravo reality series, which debuted in 2013, gave rise to other spinoffs, including “Below Deck Mediterranean,” “Below Deck Sailing Yacht,” and “Below Deck Adventure.”

The seventh episode of “Below Deck” of Season 11 is called “Cat’s Out of the Bag.” The forthcoming episode will center on Cat’s stay on the yacht, examining whether or not she will be able to make friends with the crew or whether she will still struggle to fit in.

In addition, fans are curious to find out if Xandi Olivier will develop a love relationship with any of the cast members—especially after she divulged information regarding her previous marriage in the most recent episode. It remains to be seen if anyone on the yacht will be interested in this information.

A new main charter guest is also introduced in Episode 7, which heightens the suspense and excitement surrounding the events that are taking place.

Episode 6 of ‘Below Deck’ Season 11 features a confrontation between Jared and Kyle. Captain Kerry Titheradge is made aware of the disagreement and conveys his displeasure with both parties. Captain Titheradge warns Jared and Kyle of the circumstances.

Cat, meanwhile, is still having trouble “finding her place on the yacht.” According to the synopsis, Eileen is the source of stress on the entire yacht, and her night in the hot tub will have long-lasting consequences.

Release Date & Where to Watch

Bravo TV’s official website or app will be the only place to watch Below Deck, season 11 episode 7 on Monday, March 18, 2024, at 9 PM EST.

‘Below Deck’ Sails Into a New Era

With a different captain at the helm and new production elements, the reality show about charter yachts is switching up its style.

By Shivani Gonzalez

Starting a new season of “ Below Deck ” can be similar to returning to summer camp as a kid — you know it’s going to be fun and that you’ll be in the same environment, but some of the people will be different and you’re not quite sure what the vibes will be.

This time around, in particular, feels that way because for the first time in the show’s 11-season run, Captain Lee Rosbach is no longer at the helm. It’s a pivotal moment for a franchise that has become one of the most popular entities in the sprawling universe of reality TV since premiering on Bravo in 2013 . The show’s appeal was built on endless romances between various crew members (“boatmances,” as they came to be known), horrible charter guests and some sort of passive-aggressive fight about how many shackles of the anchor chain should be in the water. And there was always Rosbach presiding over the drama as he trudged around the boat, reeling off one liners like “I’m madder than a pissed-on chicken” and “we screwed the pooch so many times we should have a litter of puppies running around.”

At the center of the show now is Kerry Titheradge (the stern yet goofy captain of “Below Deck Adventure” fame), who is managing the Motor Yacht Saint David with the cheeky chief stew Fraser Olender by his side.

With that change in captain, the energy on the boat — both onscreen and off — is different, according to Olender.

“Lee has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him,” Olender said in an interview. “With Kerry, he taught me a lot and sort of forced to me confront issues directly with my team, work them out, as opposed to making executive decisions too soon.”

This shift in management style changes the central conflict — whereas the drama once focused on the captain swiftly kicking out any unpleasant crew member (as we might have seen with Rosbach), the drama now focuses on the whole crew trying to get along (since Titheradge gives people those second chances).

Additionally, Olender noted that the captain’s relationship with the crew can also affect the drama on board.

“Captains absolutely do get involved, whether they know it or not,” Olender said, adding that for the crew, everything is about “trying to impress your captain.”

This phenomenon plays out early in the new season when the lead deckhand, Ben Willoughby, called out a fellow crew member over the radios about not wearing a life vest — something he easily could have done in private. The drama that followed became an interpersonal conflict between the two of them, both with the ultimate goal of impressing Titheradge. (Of course, the two deckhands had kissed on the previous crew night out, which is more in line with the “Below Deck” drama viewers are used to.)

For “Below Deck” showrunners, the changeovers in the cast allowed them to rethink what the show would look like.

From the season premiere, it was immediately apparent that Rosbach’s absence wasn’t the only change this season: The filming is sleeker, the daily, multicourse meals prepared by the chef are given their own glamour shots and the cameras sometimes cut to the perspectives of yachties running around on deck and through the galley.

“Our showrunner, Lauren Simms, is an avid consumer of all different kinds of media,” Noah Samton, a senior vice president of unscripted current production for NBCUniversal, said in an interview. “She pitches us different ideas on how to stylistically evoke different feelings and change the mood a little bit of ‘Below Deck’ without removing what really works.”

Moving through the rest of the season, and potentially through seasons to come, Olender is aiming to bring a cutthroat management style while also bringing affection for his stews, all with his signature British humor.

On Bravo’s side, there are changes in the works for the other “Below Deck” spinoffs — including “Sailing Yacht,” “Mediterranean” and “Down Under” — which collectively, have 26 seasons. Specifically, Samton said that “Down Under” is currently filming and that even though fans should be ready to see new things, the show will stay true to its original concept.

“These are real yachties doing a real job so you have to stay within those confines because the audience isn’t going to want anything that is too produced or fake,” Samton said. “So we have to find ways to reinvent while staying true to the original concept of the show.”

And as Olender said: “I’m sure that every year if I were to work with this franchise again, that I’ll be thrown a collection of total chaotic and disastrous stews — that’s what makes it watchable.”

An earlier version of this article misquoted Fraser Olender, the chief stew of “Below Deck.” He said, “I also feel like Kerry this season. ... Lee has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him,” not “I feel like Kerry this season, as opposed to Lee, has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him.”

What's more, Daisy has also formed an unlikely friendship over the past few months with actress Christina Applegate, who became a big fan of the Below Deck   franchise. 

"She’s a huge Bravo fan, and she reached out to me via Instagram, and was massively supportive," Daisy shared in an interview with the  Daily Mail on February 19. She said, 'Hey Daisy,' and we FaceTime and stuff. She's just so nice."

The chief stew also noted she hoped to "meet up" with Christina some day. Daisy didn't post any photos from her L.A. trip with Christina, but we wonder if they did indeed meet up during Daisy's trip. 

"She's busy with her family and I know she is taking it easy, and keeping all of her energy for her [Multiple Scelorsis], but hopefully we’ll make time," Daisy concluded to the outlet. 

More details from Daisy Kelliher's vacation in Los Angeles 

Earlier in January, we caught up with Daisy when she visited out west. For the occasion, took to her Instagram Stories to share a view of herself taking in the beautiful sunset by the beach.

In addition to her sunset pic, Daisy also shared a snap of herself soaking up the sun on the gorgeous California beach.
