below deck sailing yacht season 1 adam and jenna

What happened to Adam and Jenna Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

It’s been over a year since Below Deck Sailing Yacht introduced chef Adam Glick and chief stew Jenna MacGillivray.

Well, Adam was a familiar face because of his two-time stint on Below Deck Mediterranean. One season involved a love triangle with Malia White and Wes Walton.

Sparks immediately flew between Jenna and Adam. Despite his best effort to not get involved in a boatmance, the two gave in to their feelings.

Their relationship was a pivotal plotline, especially the impact it had on the interior crew.

Madison Stalker often complained she and Georgia Grobler did all the work, while Jenna washed a glass or two in the galley to flirt with Adam. Viewers didn’t disagree either and often criticized Jenna’s worth ethic on social media.

What happened to Adam and Jenna after Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1?

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1 ended with Adam and Jenna walking off into the sunset together, embarking on van life. The romance only lasted a few months, though.

When the Parsifal III crew got together virtually to dish Season 1 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Jenna and Adam had split. Adam admitted the process of being in a relationship on the Bravo show was challenging for them.

Host Andy Cohen asked if they might rekindle their romance now that the show was done airing. Adam pretty much told Andy that wasn’t anybody’s business.

They did not get back together. Jenna has revealed they have a lot of history, but it’s very complicated. As of last fall, Jenna was dating someone new . However, she has chosen to keep her personal life private.

Why did neither Jenna or Adam return for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2?

When the Season 2 cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht was revealed, the only returning crew member was Captain Glenn Shephard. It wasn’t a huge surprise neither Adam nor Jenna came back, but it did get fans asking why they didn’t return.

Adam made it clear during the Season 1 reunion show that he was done with reality television, or at least the Below Deck franchise. The chef does have a web-series cooking show called, Stoked.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht producer Jill Goslicky shed light on how crew members were asked to return to the yachting show. Jill called out Jenna’s romance with Adam as one reason the chief stew didn’t shine on the show and wasn’t asked back.

Jenna shut down the producer’s accusations in an Instagram Live. The chief stew defended her work ethic.

Like so many Below Deck couples before them, Adam and Jenna from Below Deck Sailing Yacht are not together. They don’t even talk.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Why Below Deck Sailing Yacht Didn’t Bring Jenna MacGillivray Back After Season 1

The first season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht had Bravo fans hook, line and sinker. It took the original premise of Below Deck and intensified it into a more confining space. Oddly enough, though, none of the crew (save the captain) returned for the highly anticipated Season 2, which premiered on March 1. Fans were left wondering, why was chief stewardess Jenna MacGillivray not brought back?

Ahead of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 premiere, Captain Glenn Shepherd and executive producer Jill Goslicky revealed in an AMA on Reddit why Jenna MacGillivray did not come back. What it, essentially, boils down to is exactly what MacGillivray was accused of not having last season: professionalism . Goslicky said,

The short is answer - we absolutely wanted Jenna to have the staying power of Kate and Hannah. In our dream scenario, every cast member we bring on board is such a hit they carry on for seasons and seasons. I also genuinely loved working with Jenna - she gets a lot of flack on social media, but she truly was great to work with. I think if I’m being truly honest… Jenna got swept up in a boatmance… and I think in that way, she didn’t allow herself to shine and show how amazing she truly is.

The relationship between chief stew Jenna MacGillivray and chef Adam Glick on Below Deck Sailing Yacht was the key drama of the season. They would often make out in front of the crew and talk smack in private about them. Though it was often a little over the top, and not to mention nauseating, it made for great reality television as they isolated themselves from the group.

Captain Glenn Shephard reflected,

I think the situation with Adam [Glick] - they would have been better postponing getting involved until the season was done. If I can see everything happening between Adam and Jenna in real time, I would probably tell them to tone it down and focus more on work than their personal lives.

The assertion that Jenna MacGillivray’s boatmance is the reason why she didn't return for Season 2 sounds more like MacGillivray's own reason. Fans were critical of her emotional entanglements while working, but they no doubt have always loved a stone-cold chief stew with an attitude. Hannah Ferrier and Kate Chastain set this precedent on Below Deck .

Jill Goslicky said that when the Below Deck producers and Bravo discuss bringing back previous crew members, the main question is: “Do they have compelling reasons for their story to continue on in the show?” Jenna MacGillivray has the most compelling reason out of the whole first season crew to come back on the show. At the reunion show of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , fans awkwardly learned that the two lovebirds were no longer together.

A similar occurrence happened on Below Deck: Mediterranean . Stewardess Aesha Scott got hot and heavy with Jack Stirrup on Season 4, only for fans to find out about a brutal breakup that involved cheating with an ex-girlfriend. But she had the last laugh when she came back for Season 5! Then again, Scott maintained a hero's role throughout her season, not MacGillivray's villain one.

Here’s What the Cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Is Currently Up to Now

Are Jenna and Adam still together?

After the massive success of Below Deck and its spinoff Below Deck Med , Bravo decided to test the waters on a new iteration of its hit series earlier this year. That's where Below Deck: Sailing Yacht came in, taking place on a luxury sailing boat, the Parsifal III, adrift in the Ionian Sea.

From a spontaneous proposal failing spectacularly to a joke about being breastfed as an adult, Sailing Yacht was as much a dramatic success as the other franchises. It also left fans wondering about what's happening to the crew since the show wrapped. Did chief stew Jenna and chef Adam stay together? What's going on with Georgia's music? And most important—is Captain Glenn really as cool as we think he is?

Here's what the cast of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht is up to now:

Jenna MacGillivray

When the Canadian stepped onto the Parsifal III, fans got exactly what they hoped for in a chief stew—a no-nonsense leader who also had a romantic spot in her heart for the chef in the galley. Though her relationship with Adam Glick proved to be tumultuous, the two dated for some time after the season wrapped, even taking some time to road-trip together.

These days, Jenna is enjoying some time off from yachting, but given her recent IG pics, she's excited to come back to another charter season.

Madison Stalker

Wherever Madison went, drama always seemed to follow the second stew during season one of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht . In between epic meltdowns (including a major one between her and Jenna over her lack of enthusiasm for her job), she left the boat a better person and leaving fans ready to see more from their new favorite cast member.

Judging by her Instagram account, she's taken a break from yachting (perhaps until next season of the show).

Georgia Grobler

As good of a third stew Georgia was on deck, fans were more invested in her budding music career and growing feelings for a very taken Paget. She proved she was great at her job and could make a career out of yachting.

While it's unclear whether she stayed in the yachting industry post- Sailing Yacht , Georgia's working on music, premiering new music videos on IGTV during the quarantine.

Below Deck Med fans were so excited when Adam joined the crew as the chef for Sailing Yacht . While he abided by the preference sheets this time around, he also began a rocky romance with chief stew Jenna, making most of the crew members wonder if he was there for his job or the girl.

Since the show wrapped, Adam's busy onshore, cooking, and traveling with his adorable puppy. Oh, and Adam has a web series, Stoked , where he travels across the country to meet with local chefs and learn about their regions... all while over a campfire.

Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan

If there was any couple to root for from the entire Below Deck franchise, it's Paget and Ciara. The duo made a great team on deck, and mostly kept their relationship to a minimum on cameras—a first for Bravo! As they were the most familiar with the Parsifal III, the couple was the most reliable, and fans loved seeing their relationship continue blossoming post-filming.

These days, the couple has a lot to be excited about—they're now engaged. While they're soaking up their romantic bliss, they're also still working in yachting, although it's sadly on separate boats.

Byron Hissey

As the chief engineer of Parsifal III, Byron was clearly there to just do his job. But, given how he was the only cast member to have a wife and child back home, he also became the dad of the group, taking care of the other crew members.

Since filming wrapped, it looks like Byron is back on a boat doing exactly what he does best—fixing and making sure the engines run smoothly.

Parker McCown

Relatively new to the yachting industry, fans are more likely to remember the deckhand for his enraged rant about being breastfed by his mother. While he didn't necessarily have all the skills to make it as a deckhand, he definitely had a soft spot for his ex-girlfriend Kaiti, whom he eventually left Parsifal III to go back to at home.

It looks like the decision to leave the show worked out for Parker, as he's now engaged to Kaiti and writing some tunes while onshore.

Chris Miller

As Parker's replacement for the latter half of the season, Chris proved a great deckhand and an asset to the team, all while battling an injury.

These days, Chris seems to be taking some time off from yachting to travel across Europe.

Captain Glenn Sheppard

Captain Glenn was tough, fair, and not afraid to have a good time, which both crew and guests very much appreciated.

Thankfully, his reality TV experience hasn't turned him off yachting forever. Glenn is still the captain for Parsifal III and traveling through the Mediterranean.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Jenna Reveals Where She Stands with Adam Following the Reunion

These off-camera moments will have you looking at Jenna MacGillivray and Adam Glick's relationship in a whole new way.

It was clear how much Jenna MacGillivray and Adam Glick cared about each other this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . However, the couple wasn't always feeling the love from their fellow Parsifal III crew members, whether it was Madison Stalker expressing her disapproval of Jenna and Adam's PDA in the communal crew quarters or Captain Glenn Shephard confronting the chief stew about her interactions with the chef.

How to Watch

Watch Below Deck Sailing Yacht on Bravo on Monday, October 7 at 9/8c and next day on  Peacock . Catch up on the Bravo app . 

However, Jenna is standing by her actions with Adam this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . "There's definitely a misconception about how often we were engaged in PDA when other people were around that just people weren't around for it, and it wasn't excessive by any means," she explained in our new video series, The Final Word , which you can view, above. "I would go in in the morning and give him a kiss, and no one was there. Or I'd be doing whatever in the galley or the crew mess, he'd come over and give me a hug. Like I said on the reunion, that was when I was finished with my shift. Some people have a problem with that, I get it, but I'm also not working."

Jenna added, "The second I felt happy and excited to find somebody that I really connected with, every force was coming at us to try and tear that down, and that was heartbreaking for me."

There were other loving moments between the couple that they shared off-camera during the charter season, such as when Adam left a love note wrapped with a piece of sea glass on Jenna's bed that read, "Here's to what feels like a lifetime of combing beaches in search of the perfect piece of sea glass. That's you." 

We Have a Major Update on Adam Glick and Jenna MacGillivray's Relationship

This is a moment that Jenna and Adam both still cherish. "You know, we actually talked about this a couple weeks ago," Jenna recalled in The Final Word . "He was like, 'You know, I really meant it when I did that. I had those passionate feelings.'"

As much as Jenna and Adam were able to sneak in some romance during the hectic charter season, the couple experienced some tense moments as well, sometimes within the same day . Jenna agreed that her relationship with Adam could be hot and cold at times this season. "Those walls that he talked about, that's real," Jenna said. "He'll look for any kind of way to put up another wall so that he can escape intimacy and a natural connection with somebody. That's what I believe, anyway." 

Though it wasn't always clear what the future held for Jenna and Adam during the charter season, the two did spend a lot of time getting to know each other off the boat. Not only did they go on a road trip in Greece after the season ended, but they also drove across the country together, spending time with Adam's family and in Jenna's hometown in Canada before celebrating Christmas, which we learned during the reunion on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen: @ Home on June 1.

Jenna opened up more about what went on during her travels with Adam after the charter season ended, including one particularly "crazy" moment, in The Final Word , which you can check out, above. "We had lots of really peaceful, nice moments, too," she said. "Like, lots of adventures wherever we went."

Adam previously confirmed during his appearance on WWHL: @ Home on May 4 that he and Jenna are no longer together , although they keep in touch. But during that same episode, he also said that they were still trying to figure things out. "This whole situation, this whole show has been particularly difficult for us... for pretty obvious reasons," Adam said of his relationship status with Jenna during the  Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion.

When Andy Cohen asked Adam at the reunion whether he and Jenna would ever get back together someday, the chef replied, "Well, to be 100 percent honest, I don't think that's any of you guys' business."

Jenna is similarly keeping whatever lies ahead for her and Adam a bit more private these days, although it doesn't sound like she's ruling anything out. "We have a lot of history, so I'd always be open to a road trip again. We'll see how it goes. But like he said on the reunion, there's a lot of complicated factors," she shared in The Final Word . "For me, personally, I'm just focused on myself right now and my own happiness, and that's all that matters to me in this current moment."

“Do You Really Need To Do This?” This Claim To Fame Season 3 Contestant’s Famous Dad Was Initially Against The Show

The golden bachelorette: signs "producer plant" mark anderson will turn down the golden bachelor lead (he might not be ready to move on), the golden bachelorette: guy gansert's restraining order explained (did joan miss the red flags).

Adam Glick returned as the chef on  Below Deck: Sailing Yacht  after appearing on  Below Deck Mediterranean  for seasons two and three. During his time on  Sailing Yacht , Adam was determined to focus on his food rather than pursuing another romance on the boat. When he first joined  Below Deck Med , Adam was involved with lead deckhand Malia White , who he met before boarding Sirocco in Croatia. However, the relationship began to crumble after Malia started to develop feelings for her bosun, Wes Walton.

After Malia decided to pick Wes over Adam, the chef started to lose his cool. He began putting ingredients in the guest's food that they didn't want and even physically assaulted Wes during a day off. For season three of  Below Deck Med , Adam returned as the chef and redeemed himself as a cool, laid-back type of guy. However, when he made another return to  Sailing Yacht , Adam reverted to who he was on his first season of  Below Deck Med . While being mean and condescending, Adam also pursued a relationship with chief stewardess Jenna Macgillivray.

After he wrapped season one of  Below Deck:   Sailing Yacht , Adam went on an adventure with Jenna. The couple rented a van and took a journey around Greece together after they departed Parsifal III. After they completed their trip in Greece, they drove across the US together and even met Jenna's parents in Canada and spent time with Adam's family. However, the love affair did not last long, as the couple had gone their separate ways by the time the  Below Deck:   Sailing Yacht  reunion filmed. However, neither of them ruled out the possibility of getting back together in the future.

Besides his personal life, Adam has also been thriving as a chef. He has been traveling around the country, getting inspiration from the world around him for his food. Adam took his infamous van around the country with his dog, Tex, by his side. According to his  website , Adam hosts a cooking show on OutsideTV titled  Stoked , which features athletes and famous outdoorsmen and women. The self-proclaimed Adventure Chef is also working on two new digital series based on " Adventure Cooking ." They are both in production and are scheduled to be released sometime between 2021-2022. You can also own a knife set by Adam under the name Adventure Chef. He partnered with Messermeister and released a six-piece knife kit, which is available on his website.

Since Adam's time on  Below Deck :  Sailing Yacht , he has been focusing on his chef skills more than ever. Food is his passion, and he does not feel creating food for guests on a yacht will drive him to success. Adam no longer wants to be known for his relationships on  Below Deck,  but rather for his skills in the kitchen.
