Cameron Reflects on Her Time in Croatia
Gael Cameron, who appeared on Below Deck Mediterranean, has broken her silence about Season 11 and the fallout that followed. In an Instagram post on Friday, she shared her feelings about the experience, which she described as one of the hardest periods of her life. Cameron, a new mother, spent time in Croatia with her infant son Kayden while the boy's father, Nathan Gallager, worked long hours on a nearby superyacht called the Akira One. She wrote that viewers did not see much of her time in Croatia and that there was still much to say about that chapter.[S1]
Cameron also posted candid photos from the engagement party of Below Deck S11 Head Stew Aesha Scott, which was partially shown in the season finale. The images included Captain Sandy Yawn and former Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier. She shared pictures of herself and Kayden as well. In her post, Cameron admitted that moving away with a new baby left her in survival mode, but she believed she handled it well. She expressed gratitude for the experience, saying that leaving her support system behind was not the plan, but Croatia revealed her strength as a mother and a woman.[S1]
The Domestic Violence Case Against Nathan Gallager
After the season ended, Cameron and Gallager split following an alleged domestic violence incident in December 2025. Gallager was arrested for assault, and Bravo subsequently cut ties with him. While Gallager gave an interview to Rolling Stone, Cameron had remained silent until now. Her Instagram post marks her first public comments on the matter, though she did not directly address the charges. Instead, she focused on her personal growth and the joy she finds in life despite challenges.[S1]
The situation has drawn attention from multiple outlets, with Comic Basics also reporting on Cameron's decision to speak out after the brutal season and her ex's domestic violence case. Cameron's message emphasized resilience, stating that she will always find pockets of joy because life is beautiful and there is always light if you keep looking for it.[S1][S2]
