The second stew on Below Deck Med revealed that she fell head over heels for her boyfriend before realizing he wanted an open relationship. On Season 8 of the Bravo show, Natalya opened up about how distressed she felt over the whole dynamic.

“This open relationship is very new to me,” she said in the sneak peek preview for Season 8, Episode 3. “We haven’t really discussed rules or guidelines.” She went on to say, “I do find other people attractive, and I don’t see myself sleeping with one person for the rest of my life… But it still doesn’t sit right with me, my partner sleeping with someone else.”

According to Natalya, she and her man had been together for four months by the time the show was filmed.

During Season 8 of Below Deck Med, Natalya seemed to have her eye on Luka, aka the latest Bosun. The two openly flirted while going out for drinks to celebrate their first charter.

Whether or not Luka and Natalya’s relationship will develop into something more is still up in the air. Yet based on previews for Season 8, it seems as though Luka will strike up a romance with multiple ladies on the ship.
