Sailing ahead! Ciara Duggan is speaking honestly about her split from Below Deck Sailing Yacht costar Paget Berry and revealing what went wrong.

“There were a lot of reasons that it kind of broke down. Being in France, we weren’t quarantining, we weren’t stuck together or anything like that,” Ciara, 23, told Us Weekly exclusively on Wednesday, April 14 about the breakup. “We were there just kind of living life, but you know I was taking temporary jobs and I just kind of realized throughout taking those jobs that I was happier on my own for a lot of reasons.”

Ciara confirmed that she broke up with Paget, in December and that she wasn’t fully invested in the relationship anymore. “I loved him, but I think I was not in love,” she told Us .

The couple confirmed the end of their 9-month-engagement in separate posts earlier this month after fans questioned the status of their relationship.

Ciara first shared the news via Instagram after a comment asking her if she was still together with Paget.

“No,” the reality TV star replied. “Things happen. We’re still on good terms and wish each other nothing but the best.”

Paget followed up with his own confirmation on his social media.

“All good! Loving life at the moment personally and we are still friends,” he wrote in an Instagram comment.

The pair originally started dating in 2016 and then both appeared on the first season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , which premiered in February 2020. Following their time on the show, the couple revealed that they were engaged in July 2020.

Ciara clarified that the split was “bound to not work out” since she was 18 years old when the relationship started. “I never really wanted to get married, if I’m being honest,” she said to Us .

The pair are still on “good terms” and continue to communicate occasionally. “There’s no bad feelings between us and I wish him nothing but the best. I need to move on with my life and I need to do what I need to do for me, and he needs to do the same,” she explained. “We’re still in good terms and we’re still friends. I wish him nothing but the best. I hope he finds someone who’s better suited … Neither of us is malicious, which is what matters. We have too much of a history to just not care about each other.”

Paget and Ciara did not return for season 2 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , which is currently airing on Bravo. During their time on the show, fellow cast member Georgia Grobler revealed her feelings for Paget as the charter season was coming to a close.

Ciara clarified to Us that “there’s nothing bad” between her and Georgia and that “it wasn’t even a surprise” that there was a third party thrown into her relationship during the show.

When asked if cheating played a factor in the split Ciara declined to comment.

While Ciara and Georgia haven’t kept in contact, the Below Deck alum has received support from other castmembers since the split. “ Jess [More] was the first person I told and confided in [about the breakup] so she’s been really supportive. I mean, Jess is amazing anyways. She’s been my no. 1, my best friend throughout this whole thing,” Ciara shared about her newfound friendship with Jessica, who appeared on the fifth season of Below Deck Mediterranean .

Ciara revealed that Captain Glenn was another cast member that was there for her, saying, “I contacted Glenn pretty much as soon as we broke up, and I was like ‘Glenn, I need to talk to you. I need some fatherly advice.’ So we had a long chat about it.”

Captain Glenn weighed in on that bombshell and whether he thought there was a chance Georgia would be invited to Paget and Ciara’s wedding.

“I mean, Ciara stayed friends with Georgia, you know? So, who knows?” he told Us in March. “I was impressed by it because, I mean, I think she was really big about the whole thing.”

The captain said that he was proud of how Ciara handled the situation at the time.

“I mean, a little flirtation is OK, but maybe if you push it to the edge, then people, even though they pretend they’re not feeling it, I think maybe they’re a little upset,” he said to Us . “But, you know, that’s Paget. Paget should be more responsible than Georgia. But then Georgia as a friend shouldn’t push the edge.”

Are Ciara and Paget From Below Deck Sailing Yacht Still Together?

A spin-off of the original show ‘ Below Deck ,’ Bravo’s ‘ Below Deck Sailing Yacht ‘ is a reality TV show that gives us a glimpse into the lives of the crew members aboard a luxurious sailing yacht during charter seasons as they sail through different parts around the world. What makes the series even more gripping is that it details the interpersonal relationships of the crew members as they deal with some difficult challenges during their journey.

The show has provided fans with ample drama over the years, from budding romantic relationships to some unexpected guests. One of the popular couples that made a mark on the reality show was Ciara Duggan and Paget Berry when they appeared together in the inaugural season. Thus, fans have been wondering how the pair is doing at the moment. If you are one such fan, let’s see what the two are up to these days!

Ciara and Paget’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht Journey

Ciara Duggan spent most of her childhood and adolescent days in her family’s sailing catamaran, which got her interested in yachting for a living. Having met Paget Barry while he worked on her family’s boat, she gained quite a lot of insight into the world of yachting from him. Much like Ciara, Paget – who was born and raised in England – was interested in sailing from his early teen years. Ciara and Paget began dating nearly four years before they appeared on ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ season 1 in 2020.

Although both, Ciara and Paget, had several years of experience in the yachting industry, it was their first time working together in the same department. Right off the bat, Paget had trouble figuring out how to act as Ciara’s boss and boyfriend at the same time, which made him question their four-year-long relationship. As the season passed, Paget got closer to another crew member named Georgia and even got caught in a compromising position with her by Ciara. Naturally, this raised some tensions between the couple.

Despite facing so many ups and downs during the course of the season, Ciara remained optimistic as she was excited about her career and future with Paget. After the inaugural season of the reality show was done airing, Paget proposed to Ciara, and the couple got engaged in July 2020 while they were in Italy. They shared the news on social media while several cast members expressed their excitement in the comment section. However, since late 2020, fans have noticed that Ciara and Paget have not been featuring on each other’s social media posts. This has got all of us questioning if the couple has called it quits?

Are Ciara and Paget Still Together?

Unfortunately, Ciara Duggan and Paget Berry decided to go their separate ways after several months of engagement. In April 2021, Ciara confirmed the break-up on social media in the comment section of one of her posts when a fan asked if she was still engaged to Paget. Later that month, in an interview with Us Weekly , she revealed that they called it quits in December 2020 because she was not as invested in the relationship anymore.

Ciara explained, “We were there just kind of living life, but you know I was taking temporary jobs and I just kind of realized throughout taking those jobs that I was happier on my own for a lot of reasons.” However, she added that there were no bad feelings between them as she and Paget ended things on good terms. Apparently, they even continued to interact occasionally.

Presently, Paget Berry is in a happy relationship with his new girlfriend, Johana Mills. A video he posted in November 2021 hints that they may have started dating sometime then. Johana is a regular presence on his social media, and the new couple looks very much in love. On the other hand, Ciara appears to have found the love of her life — her dog, Yuki. She introduced Yuki to her fans in April 2022 and hasn’t stopped posting about him ever since then. Apart from that, it seems that she has a lot more time to focus on her career and herself. Thus, even though Paget Barry and Ciara Duggan are no longer a couple, they seem to be quite content with their respective lives.

Are Paget and Ciara still together? The couple from Below Deck Sailing Yacht

The couple had been together for several years before appearing on Below Deck

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

Season one of Below Deck Sailing Yacht has landed on Netflix and fans want to know if Paget and Ciara are still together, nearly four years after the show was filmed.

Fans of the reality TV series are used to seeing the Below Deck cast fall for each other while working in close quarters. But unlike many of the romances that blossom while on board and fizzle out pretty soon after, Paget and Ciara had been together for several years before they appeared on Below Deck Sailing Yacht . However, working as exterior crew together for the first time seemed to take its toll on their relationship, and they were often filmed bickering while at work.

Three years after the season first aired, it's now landed on Netflix. And much like the streaming service's viewers want to know the fate of other reality TV romances - from which Love Island couples are still together to are Raven and SK still together from Love Is Blind - now the same is being asked of Below Deck . Here, we reveal if Paget and Ciara are still together and where they are now...

Are Paget and Ciara still together?

Paget and Ciara are no longer together. In March 2021, Ciara revealed the news on her Instagram story, after replying to a curious follower who asked whether she was still with Paget. She said: "No. Things happen. We’re still on good terms and wish each other nothing but the best."

Despite their many ups and downs during the charter season, Ciara and Paget remained together after the first season of  BDSY ended. The pair even announced the exciting news that they were engaged after more than four years of dating, so for some it's a shock that they have gone their separate ways.

Why did Paget and Ciara break up?

Ciara told US Weekly in April 2021 that one of the reasons she and Paget broke up was because she was happier on her own.

Describing the period of time after Below Deck Sailing Yacht - when the pair had moved to France - Ciara said: "There were a lot of reasons that it kind of broke down. Being in France, we weren’t quarantining, we weren’t stuck together or anything like that. We were there just kind of living life, but you know I was taking temporary jobs and I just kind of realized throughout taking those jobs that I was happier on my own for a lot of reasons."

However, she added the pair were on good terms, saying, "There’s no bad feelings between us and I wish him nothing but the best."

Meanwhile, Paget echoed this sentiment during an Instagram live with the season 2 stews in May the same year - adding that he and Ciara were still in contact.

Where are Ciara and Paget now?

Both Ciara and Paget are in new relationships, and Paget is engaged. The first mate shared on Instagram in August 2022 that he had proposed to his girlfriend Johana Mills, with a sweet video montage.

He wrote in the caption: " I am so proud of you and all that you are achieving and I am super stoked to be your Fiancé and future husband🤵🏼👰🏽‍♀️ Never change ❤️".

It appears the pair have been together since at least November 2021, which was when Paget posted a video of their trip to Costa Rica , which showed them kissing on a beach.

Meanwhile, Ciara posted a snap with her boyfriend on Valentine's Day this year, captioned "Happy Valentines Day mi amor!!! Beyond grateful to have you in my life ❤️❤️❤️".

Ciara is also the proud owner of a dog named Yuki and frequently shares photos and videos of the pup both on her own Instagram and a separate account dedicated to Yuki .

Below Deck: 10 Bosuns Who Will Never Return To The Franchise (Is My Opinion The Same As Yours?)

• Some former Bosuns like Chandler Brooks and Conrad Empson faced challenges and won't return to the franchise.
• Bosun Ruan Irving got fired for forging documents, ensuring he will never return to Below Deck.
• Luke Jones was fired from Below Deck Down Under for assault and will never return.

Below Deck has featured dozens of Bosuns since 2013, including a few who will never return to the series . The franchise relies on capable crew members who can handle the responsibilities of a luxury yacht. However, some roles are often more important than others. One of the most important parts of Below Deck is the Chief Stew . These crew members are often responsible for handling the team of junior Stews and making every guest feel comfortable. Their duties are to ensure the charter guests get everything they ask for.

Over the last 11 years, only a few Chief Stews have stood out the most. That includes Kate Chastain, who debuted on Below Deck season 2 and continued to be part of the series until season 7. Bosuns are also incredibly valuable to any super yacht. However, some of the iconic Below Deck Bosuns may never return to the franchise again.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Aleks taldykin, below deck season 1.

Aleks Taldykin, who served as a Bosun in Below Deck season 1 , was a great crew member. Unfortunately, he never returned to the show for several reasons. One of the main reasons behind his departure was his seniority. He was more of a Captain , and it wouldn’t have made sense for him to serve as a Bosun again.

Chandler Brooks

Below deck season 6.

Chandler Brooks was on Below Deck season 6 , where he worked with Captain Lee Rosbach and handled the deckhand team that included Ross Inia, Ashton Pienaar, Rhylee Gerber, and Tyler Rowland. Unfortunately, he was terrible at leading either of the Deckhands and couldn’t help the crew. Captain Lee finally had enough of Chandler’s incompetence in episode 9 and fired him. There’s no chance the producers will allow him to be part of Below Deck again. The former Bosun must continue his yachting journey away from the small screen.

Conrad Empson

Below deck med season 3.

Conrad Empson appeared on Below Deck Med season 3. He was a great Bosun but created unnecessary drama, especially his relationship issues with Chief Stew Hannah. The whole situation became so bad that he skipped his Prague trip. The former Bosun will now never return to the show because he decided to leave the yachting industry for good. He also found a new partner and launched a new business.

Kelley Johnson

Below deck seasons 2 & 4.

Kelley Johnson was on Below Deck seasons 2 and 4. He was a good addition to the show and fulfilled his duties by handling his teams well. Unfortunately, Kelley will likely never return to Below Deck due to his personal life and new career. According to the latest reports, the former Bosun is now interested in photography and videography . He is also married and has other personal obligations. Besides, Kelley is a Captain and will probably never opt for the role of a Bosun again.

Below Deck: Barbie's Love Triangle (Will She Choose Jared Or Kyle?)

Paget berry, below deck sailing yacht season 1.

Paget Berry has confirmed that he’d never rejoin Below Deck . The Below Deck Sailing Yacht ’s Bosun, or Chief Officer, initially enjoyed being on the show. However, he has since moved on and no longer considers it worthy of his time. A few months ago, a fan asked Paget if he’d ever return to Below Deck again and got a straightforward answer. Paget doesn’t want to be involved in the reality TV aspect of the show.

The former Bosun said, “it’s not my thing anymore,” hinting that the show’s editing has turned him away from Bravo’s yachting-centered series.

Eddie Lucas

Below deck seasons 1-3, 8-9.

Eddie Lucas will likely never return to Below Deck after he called out the network on social media. He was part of numerous Below Deck seasons; however, he didn’t feel like Bravo was paying him enough and complained about it online. Eddie tried to expose the network and act like a solo warrior. He failed to realize that he was simply not above the show. The former Bosun will never return to Below Deck because Bravo will never hire him back.

Raygan Tyler

Below deck med season 7.

Raygan Tyler will never return to the series again because of his terrible run in Below Deck Med season 7. She was part of only five episodes in 2022 before Captain Sandy let him go. Her dismissal was due to her inability to perform her job, almost causing the yacht to sink. Raygan made many mistakes in the first four episodes. However, the final straw happened when she was helping Captain Sandy dock the boat and incorrectly reported three meters when the distance was less than half a meter . Sandy had to immediately let her go.

Ashton Pienaar

Below deck 6-7.

Ashton Pienaar from Below Deck seasons 6 and 7 wasn’t a terrible Bosun, but he was rude and had a problematic attitude towards other women on the yacht. Ashton was accused of being sexist for lashing out at Chief Stew Kate and mistreating Deckhand Rhylee. He lacked the basic decency to treat all crew members with respect. While Ashton gained some sympathy after an onboard accident, no one seems to want him back on Below Deck again.

Below Deck: 8 Charter Guests With The Worst Attitudes

Ruan irving, below deck med season 8.

Ruan Irving will also never return to the Below Deck franchise. However, the reason for his exit is completely different from everyone else's. Unlike most Bosuns on this list, Ruan is the only one Captain Sandy fired for forging documents. The former Bosun had brought fake documents to get himself a role on the show. Regardless of whether he had the skills to do the job, it was still too risky for Captain Sandy to let him stay on board. Therefore, she fired him in episode 1, shortening his Below Deck appearance. Producers will likely never cast Ruan again.

Below Deck Down Under Season 2

When Below Deck Down Under returned in 2023, it stood out for its several firings. One exit was from former Bosun Luke Jones, who crossed the line when he got naked and forced himself into bed with Stew Margot Sisson. Luke’s sexual misconduct was inappropriate and simply unacceptable. Captain Jason Chambers immediately fired him and removed him from the boat. Luke has no chance of returning to the Below Deck franchise again.

Below Deck airs Monday at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.

Below Deck is a popular reality TV franchise that focuses on a group of crew members as they work on luxurious yachts and cater to their client's needs. After the original series proved to be a success, Bravo developed a handful of spinoff shows including Below Deck Selling Yacht, Below Deck Adventure, Below Deck Down Under, and Below Deck Mediterranean.

‘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.

“I feel like Kerry this season, as opposed to 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.”

"Yeah, isn’t that great?" Captain Glenn said of the couple's engagement during an exclusive interview with Bravo Insider . "I hope they send me an invite to the wedding. I’d love to go."

The news of Paget and Ciara's engagement didn't come as a surprise to Captain Glenn, who worked with the couple even before last season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . "I could see that coming for sure," he said. "They’re a great couple."

In fact, Paget and Ciara have become more like friends than just work colleagues for Captain Glenn. "I’m really close with them. We’ve worked together for quite a long time, and we hang out, we go snowboarding together and play golf together and all kinds of stuff like that. So we go carting and all of that kind of stuff, we do," Captain Glenn shared. "So they’re not just work mates; they’re friends."

So, who better to officiate Paget and Ciara's wedding than the Below Deck Sailing Yacht captain himself? He did very nearly marry a couple in Season 1, after all. "Great idea," Captain Glenn said with a laugh in response to that suggestion. "I’ll put it to them and see what they say."

As for what the couple has been up to lately, Captain Glenn said, "Ciara comes back-and-forth sometimes to help us out [on  Parsifal III  outside of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht  charter season]. I haven’t seen Paget for a while. I think he was studying, doing courses or something like that. But I talk to those guys regularly."

Paget and Ciara aren't the only crew members from Season 1 with whom Captain Glenn still keeps in touch. 

"I kind of chat with everybody here and there. But I’m especially close to, Byron [Hissey] is like one of my best buddies. He’s in the Caribbean right now, but him and I hang out quite a bit. Like, we spend Christmas together and stuff like that with his family," Captain Glenn said. "And then the rest, I kind of chit chat with them online a little bit here and there. I don’t think I’ve spoken to Parker [McCown] for a while. Or Adam [Glick] for a while. But I kind of talk with Jenna [MacGillivray] and, I was chatting with Madison [Stalker] recently. So yeah, I keep in touch with them. I mean, once you work on board a boat with people, it becomes kind of like an extended family."

When it comes to the other Below Deck franchises, Captain Glenn said that he especially enjoyed watching Season 5 of Below Deck Mediterranean , which took place in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, where he is currently based working aboard  Parsifal III . He has also chatted with longtime Below Deck chief stew Kate Chastain , who memorably once boarded  Parsifal III as a guest (clip below).

Captain Glenn said that he also "occasionally" talks to his Below Deck and Below Deck Med counterparts, Captain Lee Rosbach and Captain Sandy Yawn , respectively.

"I reached out to both of them before I did the first season just to kind of get an idea of what to expect and stuff like that. Sandy and I, we’ve chatted a few times and we did like a live Instagram thing together where people could type in questions and stuff like that. I haven’t spoken with Captain Lee for a while, but I need to reach out," Captain Glenn shared. "I think with COVID, I haven’t been able to travel. We’ve been restricted, so I’ve been mostly in Spain and Croatia [where Below Deck Sailing Yacht  Season 2 was filmed] . So I haven’t been able to go to the States or anything like that."

"Once travel restrictions have been lifted, then I plan to go to the States," Captain Glenn continued. "And I’d like to meet up with them in person."

Now that is a meeting we'd love to be a fly on the wall for!

​​below deck sailing yacht: paget berry announces engagement to johana.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht alum Paget Berry shares exciting new with fans. He is newly engaged to Johana, whom he met while working in Rhode Island.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 1 First Officer Paget Berry recently announced his engagement to Johana Mills. During his first and only season on Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Paget worked alongside his then-girlfriend, Ciara Duggan, on the deck of Parsifal III . Working and living together proved to be challenging for the couple at times. Ciara often thought Paget was bossy and didn’t like when he barked orders at her. Paget felt Ciara took advantage of their relationship and openly defied his requests.

Paget and Ciara’s relationship was also challenged when stewardess Georgia Grobler started developing feelings for the first officer. Georgia, who was an aspiring singer/songwriter, often shared her music with Paget, who also played the guitar. The two often acted flirtatiously with each other, which Ciara tried to ignore. However, when she saw Paget and Georgia sunning themselves on the beach , she crossly told chief stew Jenna MacGillivray that she didn’t want to be with someone who didn’t want to be with her. Despite his flirtations with Georgia, Paget never crossed the line, and he proposed to Ciara in July 2020. Unfortunately, the two decided to call it quits five months later.

In November 2021, Paget went public with his relationship with Johana by posting a video on Instagram of the pair enjoying their time in Costa Rica. Recently, Paget shared a video collage of him and Johanna, which ended with him proposing to her in a beautiful garden setting. He wrote, “I was very lucky myself to meet a ‘Harbor town girl’ last year who showed me the sights and sounds of Newport when I first arrived on a boat.” Paget shared that their first date was at a Mexican restaurant and that it was “love at first sight” for him. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht alum ended his tribute by saying, “I am so proud of you and all that you are achieving and I am super stoked to be your Fiancé and future husband. Never change.”

After Paget's initial Instagram post with Johana, many Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans were confused as to what happened to his engagement with Ciara. Paget confirmed that the two yachties had broken up the previous December, and while the two weren’t together anymore, they were still on good terms. Ciara had previously shared that when she and Paget were living together in France, she realized she was happier on her own when she was apart from him. She wished him well and hoped that he would eventually find someone better suited for him. Paget echoed Ciara’s sentiments and told fans that they were still friends.

Paget, along with the rest of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 1 crew, was not asked back for the following season. However, he considered it serendipitous that he left the reality world. Paget went on to pursue a career in the yachting industry and is now based in Rhode Island, where he met Johana. Many fans congratulated the former Below Deck Sailing Yacht star and wished him and Johana a long and happy life together.

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 Recap: The Purge

Jared is not unlike a Gremlin. Feed him alcohol after midnight, and you’re in for a very, very bad time. He continues to berate Kyle, ostensibly for spilling tobacco on the deck. It’s definitely not because he’s jealous of the time he’s spending with Jared’s possible one true love, Barbie; why would you think that? How dare you? He even manages to wake up the captain, not once but twice ,  which, considering the unforgiving schedules these people keep, is basically an act of violence.

Barbie and Kyle (his job is boat) finally get to watch their movie, snuggled up together in her bunk. “You’re a beautiful girl; love your work,” he tells her when he leaves in the morning, which is all I ever want to hear from anyone in any context. Meanwhile, Ben and Sunny have sex in the shower, or so some moan-y, frankly none-of-my-business audio over a shot of the closed bathroom door wants us to believe.

The next morning, our bosun appears to be even more of a mess than usual. Jared is like Pig-Pen, except instead of dust he’s followed by a constant cloud of frustration and confusion. Captain Kerry, P.I., tries to piece together the events of the previous night through separate conversations with Kyle and Barbie, edited together like a little baby  Rashomon.  Cinéma!

Finally, it’s time for Jared to get acquainted with the consequences of his actions. There is no front on which Jared has not fucked up at work: basic logistics, safety, inappropriate interpersonal conflict. This kind of behavior from someone in a leadership role is unacceptable, Kerry tells him. “Okay,” Jared responds. “Um.” Not that there was anything he could have said to vindicate himself by this point, anyway: He’s fired. I think Kerry, who’s been both patient and abundantly clear about his expectations with Jared, handled this as best he could. To keep Jared on the boat would be a “disservice” to him. Everyone gathers to wish Jared a friendly farewell — Barbie hugs him good-bye and tells him to go meet his daughter.

White smoke emerges from the bridge, in accordance with ancient tradition: A new bosun is chosen. Ben, formerly lead deckhand, has evolved into his final form, and he seems awfully happy about it.

The interior isn’t without its own personnel problems. Cat can’t properly fluff a   pillow; her surfaces are unwiped; her sheets are half-heartedly ironed. She is the Amelia Bedelia of the high seas, without ever producing an all-redeeming lemon meringue pie to save the day. On the one hand, she does a bad job, but on the other, she also does it very slowly.

A friend of Cat’s calls her, crying and freaking out, and Cat takes the phone into the bathroom to continue the conversation privately. She doesn’t share anything about the situation, but it’s obvious that this has significantly worsened her already tenuous emotional state. Miscellaneous family revelations: Barbie’s mom is a sex therapist whose job sounds like it involves more sex dolls than I necessarily would have expected. Fraser’s sister is currently flashing her “huge knockers” at Mardi Gras, as is her right. Fraser sweetly sings Anthony’s praises in French to his mother on a video call.

To Captain Kerry’s credit, he’s pitching in to help bridge the gaps while they’re understaffed, busting his ass carrying chairs around like a man of the people when their new charter begins. Loading up their provisions takes even longer than usual — Ben points out that, as always, there are so, so many eggs. Why  are  there so many eggs? Is  Below   Deck  a convenient international waters cover for a money-laundering scheme or illegal chicken-breeding operation?

Primary guest Lesley is beautiful, make no mistake, but I would be failing you if I did not mention her hairstyle: sunburned fourth grader on a Caribbean vacation braids at the temples with a Drybar Southern Comfort-style blowout taking up the rear. (Business in the back, party on the sides?) A mortgage professional, she is so enthusiastic about what a great time it is to buy a house  right   now  that I am prepared for her to start staring into the camera to pitch us viewers directly.

Ben’s reign is off to a good start. Even though the exterior is down a member, undocking   somehow manages to go much more smoothly in Jared’s absence. Sunny, who has apparently already dated a boss of hers in the past, is just happy she gets to drive the tender around. Kyle blows up an inflatable that sounds like a screaming fart. The guests ride Jet Skis while, back on board, Cat drops various things onto the floor.

For their first dinner, the guests request surf and turf — no French food, please. (“Oh. Okay,” Anthony says.) Barbie obliges their request for a Mardi Gras theme by climbing onto the table to scatter some masks, beads, and a few meekly flashing lights around. She hates it. The guests, however, love it. (So far, the worst thing about them might be that some of them call Fraser “Fletcher” or, possibly annoying him even more, “Frazier,” with an extra vowel sound jammed in there.)

The next morning, Cat fully loses her composure when Xandi (gently) confronts her about misplacing the cleaning caddy and failing to answer her radio. “I’m fucking done, dude,” she tearfully tells Barbie, otherwise occupied with eating an apple. “I’m over this shit.” Does she want to talk about it? No? Well, okay. Barbie resumes snacking.   Cat flees to her cabin. She sobs behind the closed door of her bathroom for the third time in this episode of a liminal place of secrets and intense emotion. I repeat: Cinéma!

Fraser comes to see her and suggests it’s time to put her mental health first. Weeping in his arms, she agrees. And so her tenure on the St. David ends not with a bang but a (literal) whimper. In many ways I am very sympathetic, as someone whose own brain occasionally requires me to disconnect and reconnect the battery a few times until the mysterious Check Engine light switches off. I’m also glad, for all our sakes, that she decided to leave. She cries in her post-mortem confessional. She cries as she steps off the boat. She cries as she boards the water taxi. Sometimes, on a clear night, they say you can still hear her sniffles carried on the ocean breeze.

Oh, Cat, we hardly knew ye. I wish you well and I hope you’re doing better. “That’s the way it goes,” says Ben in what passes for a professional eulogy. “That’s yachting, mate.” Forget it, Jake. It’s  Below Deck .

Hopefully the staffing service is running a BOGO special this week. With two crew members gone, the St. David is operating on double hard mode. But at least for now, the guests are happy, mainlining approximately three dozen eggs each —  plus  they got to witness and gossip extensively about a crew member mysteriously departing the vessel, which would be the highlight of my vacation.
