Kaylee Brown and Matthew Fitzpatrick-Buck
After Kaylee caught the attention of Matthew during Below Deck Season 13, Episode 1, Chef Moe started putting things in motion for them during Episode 2. Things got hot and heavy between Kaylee and Matt when they made out during a night on the town at the end of the episode and ended up sharing a room together once they got back to the boat.
While Matt admitted that he didn’t want to jump into anything after just getting out of a longterm relationship, Kaylee revealed that she wanted to be “exclusive for six weeks” with him. During Episode 3, Matt agreed to be exclusive with Kaylee. And during Below Deck Season 13, Episode 5, Kaylee admitted to Rainbeau that she was falling for Matt and wanted to be together with him off the yacht. However, Matt told her that he could be toxic, as he has “cheated on three girls in one and a half years.”Â

Jessenia Stidger and Alex Wright
Jessenia first expressed her interest in bosun Alex during Below Deck Season 13, Episode 2. “He is just so mysterious and maybe I find the mystery sexy,” she said. “He’s my boss, I’m his deckhand. And so having a cute young boss like Alex is going to be hard to navigate. We’ll see what happens.” Alex expressed his apprehension in pursuing something with someone who worked for him, but admitted that he would be open to seeing what would happen with them in the episode before kissing her in the car on the way home.
