Harry Van Vliet Opens Up About His New Relationship & Career

Harry Van Vliet has found “love” again, following his breakup from Brianna Duffield. The Below Deck Down Under Season 3 crew member had been traveling all over the world since the BDDU Season finale in May, and he has a special travel companion — his new girlfriend. 

Harry took to Instagram on Saturday, Aug. 30, where he posted a series of photos of him and his girlfriend, Kristen Cornelsen, taken over the past year. In the photos, Harry and Kristen can be seen hanging out in the desert, watching the sunset over mountains, smiling at the beach, posing underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, and getting drenched underneath a waterfall, among other epic adventures located around the “world.”

“This has been over a year secret, my girlfriend Kristen and I met on a bus in Morocco, and have since been traveling 14 countries together. Starting in Africa, to Europe, Central America, North America, and now Australia!” he wrote in the caption of the post, along with the words “love,” “my love,” and “hard launch.”

“The experiences we have shared have been nothing short of exciting, one of a kind, and amazing,” he continued. “We have hiked volcanoes, dove (passively with my favourites: Great Hammer Head sharks, dolphins, turtles and octopi), taken transport from El Salvador to Costa Rica, had food poisoning on a remote Caribbean island off Nicaragua and raising the perfect pooch together (Pascal)!”

“Once filming wrapped, we planned to travel as much as we could and we did!” he wrote in the now-deleted post. “Visiting Africa, the Middle East, the US, Europe, and even SE Asia! We had a blast, but inevitably, we had to go back to work, which meant doing long distance which took a toll on our relationship and lead to us breaking up. We have no hard feelings toward each other and I still consider her a friend of mine and wish her nothing but the best.”
