Fans of Below Deck have been buzzing with speculation for months, and now the truth is finally out: Ben Robinson and Kate Chastain have officially confirmed they are dating. The revelation comes after years of tension, teasing interactions, and unspoken chemistry between the two former yacht crew members.
In a heartfelt Instagram post shared earlier this week, Kate Chastain wrote, “It’s been a long journey, but we finally get to share this chapter with you. So happy to be with you, Ben.” Robinson echoed her sentiment in his own post, sharing a candid photo of the couple laughing together on a sun-soaked deck, captioned, “The adventure continues… together.”
Fans quickly flooded social media with reactions, many expressing shock, while others admitted that the relationship seemed inevitable. After all, Ben and Kate first worked together aboard some of the most luxurious yachts in the Below Deck franchise, and their on-screen chemistry was hard to miss.
“Seeing them together makes total sense,” one fan tweeted. “Those looks during service episodes? They weren’t just friendly!” Another fan commented, “I’ve been waiting for this for YEARS. So glad they finally made it official.”
The timing of this announcement is also noteworthy. Both Robinson and Chastain have stepped back from the high-pressure yacht life, allowing them to explore this relationship away from the intense scrutiny of reality TV cameras. Sources close to the couple say that while their romance is new, it has been developing quietly for some time, with the two supporting each other through personal challenges and career transitions.
This confirmation also raises questions about whether the couple will make appearances together in future Below Deck spin-offs or reunion specials. Fans are already speculating if Bravo might feature their romance in upcoming seasons, as reality TV audiences have always been captivated by behind-the-scenes drama and love stories among the crew.
For now, Ben Robinson and Kate Chastain seem focused on enjoying their private moments, sharing glimpses of their life together selectively with fans who have followed them for years. Their relationship, built on friendship, trust, and shared experiences in one of television’s most dramatic environments, promises to be one of the most talked-about love stories in the Below Deck universe.
As the news spreads, one thing is certain: fans of the show won’t be able to stop talking about this latest development. After all, when two of the franchise’s most beloved personalities come together, the drama—and the admiration—are unavoidable.
