Below Deck Mediterranean‘s Gael Cameron joked about not trusting Nathan Gallagher with her future kids — before the couple got back together and welcomed their son.
During the Monday, December 29, episode of the hit Bravo series, Gael was working with Nathan on deck when he was helping her pack up lines, to which she said, “Carry it like a baby. F***, I would be really worried about you with my babies.”
Below Deck viewers already know that in the months since filming season 10, Gael welcomed a baby with Nathan. They originally met one season prior when their relationship got off to a rocky start as Gael navigated a breakup from an offscreen boyfriend.
Nathan and Gael’s growing connection caused them to nearly hook up off camera before production stopped them.
“[The cameras] weren’t on my mind,” Nathan exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2024. “I was 10 tequilas deep. I didn’t even know what a camera was exactly.”
Nathan added that he had “no game plan” when it came to his attraction to Gael, who was not single at the time. As season 9 came to an end, Nathan and Gael appeared to be going strong.

“With Gael, it just happened insanely fast. We connected and we grew a very, very strong bond. As time went on, we were just going with the flow,” Nathan explained to Us at the time. “I was going with the flow. I didn’t want to put too much pressure on her. I didn’t want to set us up to hook up in certain areas or certain times. It was more of what was happening in the moment.”
Their romance ultimately fizzled out after production wrapped. Gael and Nathan later reconciled — and announced a surprise pregnancy. Their son was born in June, and the couple have stayed together while celebrating the major milestone.
While Nathan and Gael have found love off screen, their brief split was documented on season 10 of Below Deck Med. Their costar Aesha Scott previously defended the timeline for viewers who thought Nathan was cheating on Gael this season.
Hannah Ferrier, Kate Chastain and more Below Deck cast members are tackling parenthood. Alli Dore, for her part, announced her and boyfriend Benny Thompson’s pregnancy in June 2021, writing via Instagram: “So excited for this new adventure with you and our little ocean baby.” The couple’s baby boy arrived two months later, with Dore writing, “We are […]
“He does do a very good job of keeping anything that he’s dealing with internally in his personal life,” she told Us in September. “You can’t really tell until he shares later on. Obviously, they had a rocky start. They had so much healing to do within themselves before they could fully commit to being with someone else. But they did the work. They came together and now they’re in such a good place. It’s really so beautiful seeing them together.”
Joe Bradley, meanwhile, praised Nathan and Gael’s bond.
“At this point in time — like when I just came back [on the show] — Nathan really did have strong feelings toward Gael. I just find it’s a blessing that they rekindled that relationship because it’s pure love what they’ve got,” he shared with Us. “We could only wish as a species to find that level of love. It’s just a blessing and the fact that they’ve got a baby, what a gift. I could not be more happy.”
Below Deck Med airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
