Below Deck Mediterranean star Gael Cameron is breaking her silence on ex-boyfriend and fellow Bravo star Nathan Gallagher’s 2025 domestic violence arrest.
“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I,” Cameron, 30, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, September 5, referring to the pair’s 14-month-old son. “It’s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself.”
She continued, “I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that’s come to light, and I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”
Us confirmed last month that Gallagher, 28, was arrested on domestic violence charges in Australia in December 2025 following an alleged incident with an unidentified 29-year-old woman. Gallagher was charged with “assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing] a person without consent and common assault,” according to a police memo.
Below Deck couples haven’t had long lasting success — and Mediterranean‘s Gael Cameron and Nathan Gallagher aren’t the exception. The couple, who met on season 9, got off to a rocky start as Gael navigated a breakup from an offscreen boyfriend. Nathan, meanwhile, was clear about his immediate attraction to Gael, which blossomed as they […]
The police report further stated that neither party sustained injuries and Gallagher was eventually granted conditional bail. It is not clear how he pleaded. (Gallagher was convicted of three domestic violence offenses earlier this month after failing to appear in court.)
Us also confirmed that Gallagher is the subject of an Apprehended Violence Application that was filed on behalf of Cameron in New South Wales. (An AVO is a legal order requested from a court to protect a person from someone who makes them fear violence, intimidation, harassment or stalking that is widely used in Australia, per NSW Government’s official website.)
Gallagher addressed the arrest and subsequent accusations in August.
“I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t. I made mistakes, and I will take responsibility for my own actions,” Gallagher told Rolling Stone in a statement. “I will not accept being portrayed solely through one person’s account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it. I have contemporaneous video footage from the night in question, as well as messages and other records, which I believe provide important context.”
In his statement, Gallagher confirmed his breakup from Cameron. (The two began dating in 2024 after meeting on a Below Deck Med season 9 charter.)
Below Deck star Nathan Gallagher has broken his silence after being arrested for domestic violence. “I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t,” Gallagher, 27, told Rolling Stone in a statement on Wednesday, August 26. “I made mistakes and I will take responsibility for my own actions.” Gallagher claimed to have “evidence” that would tell […]
“There are also other matters surrounding the relationship that I have never discussed publicly,” he alleged, stressing his focus is on Kayden’s well-being. “My priority is being recognized as his father, establishing a relationship with him and ultimately finding a way for both of us to move forward and coparent peacefully.”
Gallagher concluded at the time, “I’m not looking for revenge, and not asking anyone to take my side. I simply want the opportunity for the other side to be heard and for the evidence to be considered.”
