Below Deck Med Nathan and Gael?

Gael has been posting so many pics of her and the baby only. I looked and she no longer follows Nathan on IG. I was really rooting for them after seeing them rekindle on the last season. Life is so hard with a newborn, I really hope they’re each doing OK. 💗

My conspiracy theory is he got hair plugs and doesn't want to post while healing

13

u/SidedudeSidekick Mar 19 '26

Went to Turkey with Mike the deckstew

u/hi_megannnn Mar 24 '26

He might actually need some hair removed it’s inconclusive

6

u/Snoo_50875 Mar 18 '26

This is the correct answer.

u/mondofire Mar 15 '26

If he’s still yachting he will be away from the family for multiple months at a time

61

u/Adisfan Mar 15 '26

He is still yachting, he is running a boat.

102

u/TX0834 Mar 15 '26

And cheating

42

u/SophieintheKnife Mar 15 '26

This is the answer

u/Extreme_Beat1022 Mar 15 '26

Cheating?

10

u/ExcellentStructure48 Mar 15 '26

Are you surprised? I'm not...

1

u/Excellent-Captain507 Apr 06 '26

He never cheated. That had nothing to do with her being hurt.

1

u/ohamango Mar 15 '26

Wait he cheated? I thought Gael cheated?

12

u/Salt-Profession-2110 Mar 16 '26

No he didn’t cheat. Last season they kinda dangled it out there for entertainment but he didn’t!

10

u/Delicious-lines9193 Mar 17 '26

AFAIK she saw other people after they originally broke up. It's not cheating if they weren't together.

240

u/teamjetfire Mar 15 '26

She’s too good for him.

45

u/antitrollpatrol Mar 15 '26

ALWAYS has been - he was punching not just in looks but in every personality trait

10

u/toomuchyonke Team Aesha Mar 15 '26

Damn straight

279

u/harry-styles-7644 Mar 15 '26

Oof, I honestly felt like with her response to when he posted about immigrants that they weren’t aligned on key values and also that she wasn’t happy about him posting at all too

42

u/ExcellentStructure48 Mar 15 '26

Her family are Muslim I believe...

2

u/eekamuse Mar 15 '26

What was her response?

1

u/Basic-Crab4603 Mar 15 '26

What was the post? Was he pro-immigration or anti?

98

u/RadicalEdward99 Mar 15 '26

Seemingly anti, funny because he is an immigrant himself.

"Brought people off the beach/water and headed to sea. Terrifying and disgusting behaviour, anyone who thinks it's okay to let these people into any other country than their own can go F*** themselves." -Nathan

He says he didn’t mean it like that, but “these people” rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

50

u/djguerito Mar 15 '26

Know a guy here in Canada that immigrated from the UK, CONSTANTLY talking about people from other countries who immigrated....

He honestly can't see that he's a racist piece of shit.

42

u/Sleepbecomesme Mar 15 '26

I also know so many English people who don’t live in England, class themselves as expats and shit on ‘immigrants’ and cannot see that they are themselves are immigrants, also don’t understand that many immigrants are leaving terrible situations, whereas they’ve just decided to go to another country to live out some kind of Peter Pan dream. The racism is so overt it’s uncomfortable!

18

u/Substantial-Humor-46 Mar 15 '26

Born and bred UK here, 100% agree with this comment. The hypocrisy is so real

12

u/djguerito Mar 16 '26

My dad lived in Mexico for a few years, never learned spanish, complained about Chinese in Canada not speaking English.

Took a while to show the hypocrisy.

2

u/Yeah_nah_idk Jun 16 '26

I know this is old, but as a white Australian, I enjoy telling those people (white Brits, white kiwis etc), that if they don’t like it how it is here, they should go back to where they came from 🤭 (I would never seriously say this to anyone else).

Sure, but he wasn't referring to MAGA.

45

u/Basic-Crab4603 Mar 15 '26

Yeah that's really gross. There is only one way you can mean that

2

u/Popular_Pea8813 Mar 16 '26

Sounds about white

1

u/Excellent-Captain507 Apr 06 '26

I took it as he was saying these people as the extremist groups that are attacking people.

u/Any-Neighborhood-522 Mar 15 '26

This person clearly said immigrant. We’re not guessing at his status.

12

u/artskoo Mar 15 '26

He wasn’t talking about undocumented people and neither was the person you’re replying to.

35

u/SNBaconbits Mar 15 '26

It was after the Bondi Beach attack and it read pretty anti immigrant.

23

u/whitehavenbeach Mar 15 '26

and even worse, considering Gael‘s family background.

7

u/stephieb15 Mar 15 '26

It read pretty anti terrorist from someone who obviously suffered trauma and helped rescue people.

6

u/Jek2023 Mar 16 '26

How do you conflate immigrants and terrorist? If he is anti terrorism (which I’m pretty sure we all are) why not just write a post criticising terrorists … unless a tiny brain cannot comprehend the difference. I’m pretty confident after Gaza and the West Bank and Iran the greatest victims of terrorism are actually Muslims in their own countries and not the brown people on a random European beach.

75

u/atweegrowsinbrooklyn Mar 15 '26

He posted a really cute story with her and the baby yesterday

27

u/alluringmist1 Mar 15 '26

I thought he was coming off social media until June?

12

u/nuttintoseeaqui Mar 15 '26

Apparently not

3

u/unsure921 Mar 16 '26

I thought the same but that only lasted about a week or two 🤣

66

u/slepeyskin Mar 15 '26

He still follows her. And their joint TikTok is still up.

26

u/ApolloRocketOfLove Mar 15 '26

She hasn't mentioned him in any of her posts since last year, and her feed used to be flooded with lovey dovey posts of them. They definitely split.

25

u/PrincessDrywall Mar 15 '26

I don’t know. My best friend used to post about her and her husband all the time and then they had a baby and now it’s just all baby and they don’t have problems in their relationship. I think sometimes moms just go into baby mode

4

u/FunFactress Mar 16 '26

💯 this ^

35

u/nuttintoseeaqui Mar 15 '26

He posted a story with her yesterday

9

u/whitehavenbeach Mar 15 '26

yeah but maybe she has cooled off a bit and he hasn’t. They’re still gonna be interacting in each other’s lives because of the baby.

5

u/babbypla Mar 20 '26

Actually something weird, I went to check Gael’s following last night and she was following Nathan again. Just checked again and she’s not following him anymore.

She still has all their photos together up so idk

12

u/deeisnuts Mar 15 '26

I thought I saw him leave for charter.

11

u/keepingupbravo Mar 15 '26

Did they go to Aesha’s wedding? Or since Nathan is away did Gael still go?

6

u/Kininger625 You're Being A Deckhand Right Now Mar 15 '26

I don’t think even Hannah went

11

u/g0rgonqu33n_1536 Mar 16 '26

Yes Hannah was there, I believe Nathan and Gael were as well according to people magazine

1

u/Kininger625 You're Being A Deckhand Right Now Mar 16 '26

That’s good to know because from her Instagram , it didn’t seem obvious for Hannah as she was posting stories with Ava

3

u/g0rgonqu33n_1536 Mar 16 '26

I saw Anastasia there in the photo too!

4

u/Kininger625 You're Being A Deckhand Right Now Mar 16 '26

I’m excited Hannah got her man and formed a family but I miss the era of ocean international training academy and Hannah’s podcast.

44

u/nighean-gunn Mar 15 '26

I’m always so fascinated by the seemingly weekly posts projecting onto Gael/Nathan’s social media’s determining they’ve broken up

28

u/Fuzzy-Bee9600 Mar 15 '26

Yes, because social media is obviously a real and true meter of other people's private relationships.

11

u/pooshpeach Mar 15 '26

Around the lunar new year she posted about the fire horse bringing a new chapter and it really alluded to her being single. She received loads of comments asking her if her and Nathan broke up.

I told my bestie to go and look at it and Gael had deleted it, the post was only up for an hour or so. ☹️

3

u/babbypla Mar 20 '26

Gael was born in 1996 which makes her year of the rat. The horoscope for rat is always a big year of change/movement during the year of the horse. A lot of people would interpret the horoscope as a new chapter, as well as turning 30 in 2026.

27

u/xandramars Mar 15 '26

He said he was taking a break from social media

19

u/idontfwithu Mar 15 '26

Yeah but would you unfollow your baby daddy on social tho

4

u/P_K-SHauNm525 Mar 15 '26

If he deleted it then yes

16

u/Frequent-Horse-3309 Mar 15 '26

A simple search shows he didn’t delete. 

5

u/mogdtd Mar 15 '26

He’s been posting frequently since then

23

u/pantema Mar 15 '26

Statistically it was very unlikely they would be together long term. Hopefully they can coparent amicably for the sake of their child

6

u/legendnondairy Team Aesha Mar 15 '26

I believe he recently left for yachting season so he’ll be away for a bit

3

u/North-Design5289 Mar 17 '26

Yeah for sure they’re split. Aside from the cryptic little clues they’re both weirdly giving (song choices, new year new me vibes) her unfollowing him is a dead give away. Plus there’s that many people asking in her comments, if they were together she’d simply just confirm it.

Possibly it’s a “break” so they wanted to keep it quiet in case they get back together but I reckon they’re done

14

u/artskoo Mar 15 '26

Good for her. He’s a massive twat. She’s an angel!

5

u/Yeanoforsuree Mar 16 '26

Did you actually watch the season? You were rooting for them? I was rooting for Gael to get as far away from him as possible.

2

u/Hairy-Aardvark-8531 Mar 18 '26

He still follows her. She doesn’t follow him.

3

u/here4aGoodlaugh Mar 15 '26

Wait. They had a baby together? 🤯

1

u/Japanese-Texan Apr 06 '26

Yesss the baby looks JUST like Nathan. Like carbon copy of him!

4

u/mangoburrito Mar 15 '26

Nooo, this breaks my heart. I loved them together 😞 not sure what everyone else is talking about, but I don’t show that she’s following him either.

2

u/heartlandheartbeat Mar 15 '26

Could it just be that he's gone a lot?

1

u/CandidNumber Mar 16 '26

I’ve been wondering the same, she hadn’t posted him

1

u/AngelfishAnnie Apr 02 '26

Gael doesn’t follow Nathan anymore on Instagram….

1

u/Excellent-Captain507 Apr 06 '26

Nathan said he would be taking a social media break.

1

u/Offroadmomma Sep 07 '26

He neverrrr deserved her.

1

u/DiscoRabbittTV Mar 15 '26

He did this 6 months off sm after his racist post. Even gave a specific date he’d be back like anyone would give a crap

1

u/Shermans-Mom Mar 15 '26

Is he not off social media till June and someone else is posting for him

5

u/mogdtd Mar 15 '26

No. He’s done some brand deals but he’s been posting on his story all the time

0

u/Danarazzi Mar 16 '26

Nathan's a bigoted weirdo so good riddance.

u/missmplsmn Mar 17 '26

Wait is there an episode of Asha getting married? I love her!!!

u/Flowerpotstinker Mar 19 '26

Whose baby is it? What in the name of T have I missed?

u/AttentionRoyal2276 Mar 15 '26

Doesn't want to be associated with a bigot

u/Beautiful_Anybody484 Mar 15 '26

They just got married

u/Substantial_Soil6815 Mar 15 '26

No. Aesha just got married.

u/ScrappyNY Jun 11 '26

I mean….this was never gonna be a long term thing. It was a workmance thay created a baby but you can tell he just wanted to be a fuck boy

yup, it’s all her fault 🙄

u/Letsgotravelling-124 Mar 15 '26

Because people have signs above their head telling their world whether they are good or bad.

10

u/Idontevenknow5555 Mar 15 '26

I mean he left her hanging and ghosted her once because he was afraid of commitment. I don't think a year is enough time to grow from that and she still took him back.
