Steward Kyle Viljoen from Season 8 of Below Deck Med just gave a very unexpected update on his personal life.

While he might be going through a tough season in the Mediterranean, Kyle Viljoen’s dating life has become a success over the past few years.

Back in November 2022, the reality TV star announced that he was engaged to his fiance Dr. Zachary Riley, only a few months after he went IG public with their relationship.

Ever since their engagement, his fanbase has been wondering when Kyle was going to update them on the process of their marriage. Luckily, the crew member just filled them in by giving them some big news.

Did Below Deck Med’s Kyle Viljoen get married?

On January 13, Kyle took to Instagram to share a photo of himself and his now-husband Zachary at the New York City Hall, showing off their new wedding rings.

“4.6.23. Yes, you saw that right. Almost a year of marriage before we spilled the beans,” he wrote in the caption.

The post instantly drew in tons of supportive fans sending their well wishes to the happily married couple in the comments section, including some fellow Bravolebrities.

Med alum Katie Flood wrote, “Congratulations you guys.”

Kory Keefer from Summer House also chimed in and wrote, “Sooo we still throwing a bachelor party or what.”

Kyle did reveal in the post that he and his husband are planning to have a more formal ceremony in the future, so there’s a chance that it could be televised or feature some of his Med co-stars in the bridal party. Maybe he would even consider timing it to be around his boss Captain Sandy Yawn’s upcoming wedding with her fiance Leah Shafer. Only time will tell.
