Dani and Jean-Luc got into a steamy romance during Season 2 of the spin-off, and soon after leaving the boat, Dani announced that she was expecting a baby claiming that Jean-Luc was the father.

According to her claim, Jean-Luc was taken aback by the sudden news and refused responsibility for their baby. However, after having private conversations, the two agreed to work together to co-parent their baby. Dani and Jean-Luc are not dating each other anymore.

Wes O’Dell and Gabriela Barraga

Wes O’Dell and Gabriela Barragan met outside the show and started dating in 2022. However, their relationship became hard to maintain because of the nature of their job which forced them to separate.

Gabriela told Showbiz: “But, we love each other, and we know that we’re really good friends. So if it doesn’t continue romantically when I go back to work full time, no one’s feelings are going to be hurt. We’re going to support each other from afar and it’s going to be fine.”

While these Below Deck couples met at sea, there have also been couples that attempted a relationship but never lasted.

Season 11’s Barbie Pascual and Kyle Stillie dated briefly, with Kyle even meeting her mom. However, the two didn’t last due to being “too different.”

And let’s not forget how steamy boatmances can be. On Below Deck’s spin-off, Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9, Gael Cameron flirted with Nathan Gallagher despite her relationship back home.

Have any Below Deck couples gotten married?

So far, no couple from Below Deck have gotten married. However, some of the cast members are married to people outside of the show.

In May 2024, Captain Sandy from Below Deck Med married her partner of six years, Leah Shafer, in an outdoor ceremony on a yacht. The couple first met on Facebook in 2018 and announced their engagement in September 2023.

Sandy announced the marriage on her Instagram, where she wrote: “”On May 11th, 2024 I married the love of my life. I had no idea how amazing marriage could be.

“It feels incredible and I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. I love you, Leah Rae Yawn! Thank you for taking my name! Thank you to our entire family and friends for coming out to show your love and support to our relationship.”

Though Below Deck boatmances can go south, there’s always a chance that it could last. And if the captain of the ship can see past co-workers dating each other, then it might just be worth a try.
