Baby on board—literally.
A Below Deck Mediterranean alum returns with a jaw-dropping pregnancy announcement in the Bravo series’ season 10 trailer.
As returning Deckhand Nathan Gallagher notes at the beginning of the Aug. 27 first look, “This past charter season has been one of the toughest times in my entire life.”
Of course, much of his season nine drama revolved around his messy boatmance with former Dechand Gael Cameron. However, Nathan adds, “But, in the end, it turned out to be the best because of this,” before cuddling up next to a baby bump.
As fans learned in June, the on-again, off-again couple are indeed back together and recently welcomed their first baby together.
And while Nathan and Gael have an intense reunion this season aboard the Bravada prior to their pregnancy journey, his playboy antics and season 10 hookups leave Gael in tears and their relationship up in the air.
“You hurt me so much,” she tells him in the teaser, “and not only did you hurt me the first time, you hurt me again and again.”
But Nathan’s love life won’t be his only source of drama. His first season as a Bosun working with several new crew members comes with plenty of professional hardships.
“I thought that I was gonna come on as a first-time Bosun and kill it,” he reflects in a confessional. “Boy was I wrong.”
An angry Captain Sandy Yawn later reprimands Nathan with, “Get your f–king s–t together on the deck. You understand?”
As for the fresh faces joining season ten, the new yachties waste no time hopping in bed together amid several new boatmances. But none of them move as quickly as new Stew Kizzi Kitchener.
“We’ve got a great crew, I just want to f–k everyone,” Kizzi says in a confessional. “I’m gonna ruin the deck team. I’m gonna be a Bingo card and I’m gonna try to check off the whole crew.”
See everything to come—including the return of fan-favorite Chief Stew Aesha Scott—in the trailer above. Below Deck Mediterranean returns Monday, Sept. 29, at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
In the meantime, keep reading to meet the season 10 cast.
