Below Deck gave viewers a decade of amazing sea adventures and featured romances every season. But how many couples who dated on the show are still together today?

Besides its fun charters and crew life, Below Deck became famous for its steamy boatmances.

Several crew members on the Below Deck franchise hooked up while working together and some got into serious relationships, however, not many of their pairings worked out off-screen.

Here are all the couples that were formed during the show, and the ones that managed to stay together after leaving the yacht.

Ciara and Paget broke up in March 2021

Paget and Ciara became one of the first couples to make things official. Paget proposed to deckhand Ciara in 2020, bought a house in France, and set out to get married in the following year. However, in 2021 Ciara revealed to US Weekly that they had split. She said, “I loved him, but I think I was not in love.”

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.

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.”
