Below Deck’s Ben announces relationship status after Season 11 boatmance

Ben Willoughby hinted that he has a new girlfriend and confirmed that she’s a crew member who appeared on a previous season of Below Deck.

Bosun Ben Willoughby and deckhand Sunny Marquis had a boatmance on Below Deck Season 11 and discussed their plans to stay together after the show.

After enduring a rocky relationship on the St. David, the two went their separate ways but still remained friends and supported one another.

During an Instagram Q&A with Below Deck fans, Ben revealed his own relationship status when someone asked if he was single.

“No, sorry,” he responded, sharing a selfie with his mystery girlfriend and covering her face with an emoji.

When a different fan asked, “And are you dating someone who’s been on Below Deck,” Ben said yes and posted another dark-lit photo of the new couple sitting together enjoying the sunset.

The identity of Ben’s new girlfriend was difficult to make out in the photo. However, Sunny confirmed she went on a date in Greece in an Instagram post from May 20, but didn’t reveal who it was with.

On Reddit, a Below Deck fan suspected that she was still dating Ben because of her matching hat and watch from his photos.

Ben and Sunny were also both in Greece, which could confirm that they spent time together while they were there.
