Although Captain Jason Chambers accused stew Jenna Woudberg of “creating a s—t storm” by carrying on a boatmance triangle with chef Ben Robinson and deckhand Eddy Hounsell during Below Deck Down Under Season 4, she recently revealed a shocking romantic twist between her and Eddy after the cameras went down.
“Eddy and I kissed after the show,” she admitted during the Below Deck Down Under After Show. Although he stayed mum on the kiss, Eddy added of the encounter, “Jenna, happened to bump into her…it was nice. Went for some beers.”
Eddy and Jenna’s relationship was full of ups and downs during the charter season, including his flirtations, texting and dancing with stew Alesia Harris, and her own flirtations with Ben. Despite the roller coaster, the two managed to leave M/Y Katina on a good note during the June 1 season finale, and hugged each other goodbye. “I’m gonna miss you, dude,” Jenna added as they said their farewells.

Despite their kiss after filming Below Deck Down Under Season 4, Eddy has more recently admitted that he and Jenna now stand on much shakier ground. “Jenna and I remain civil, and [I] hope for the best for her yachting [career],” he told BravoTV.com in a May interview, while also calling her “a great girl.”
He explained more about how the two eventually hit stormy seas again during his May 18 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. “After the season, Jenna and I had like a really big sit-down and discussed everything,” he shared. “We really wanted to clear the whole air…I just said to her, ‘Please, just tell me everything that happened.’”
He then revealed that when he watched the show air, he was shocked. He noted a moment in the April 27 episode when Jenna visited Ben’s room and shared a kiss, before climbing into his bed to cuddle immediately after.
“She did not tell me that she had gone from his bed to my bed,” Eddy disclosed on WWHL. “I felt yuck actually watching that. And then she then didn’t message me after [it aired].”
Jenna shed more light on that off-camera kiss during a May interview with BravoTV.com. “It was just a friendly good morning peck!” she shared, and then revealed, “I mean, [second officer] João [Franco] was in the room too!”

Jenna explained on the After Show of her actions, “I enjoy a cuddle. I do. I’m a sucker for a good cuddle. It ain’t that serious.”
“I seek validation from men way too much,” she later reflected on the After Show, and admitted she made some mistakes during the season. “Also, playing with people for your advantage is not right. So, I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’m not a bad person. I’m also very dramatic, so take me with a pinch of salt.”
Jenna Woudberg reveals if she still has romantic interest in Ben Robinson
As far as where Jenna stands with Ben now, she shared during a May interview with BravoTV.com that she’s “not in touch with Ben.” She also clarified she has “no feelings” for the chef during her March 30 WWHL appearance.
In case you need a refresher, after a season full of back-and-forth amongst Jenna, Ben and Eddy, their love triangle came to a head when Eddy walked in on Jenna and Ben kissing in bed together during the May 18 episode. Eddy was so upset, he considered quitting his job as deckhand.
“One night of drunken petty drama. This could threaten the season,” Captain Jason confessed to producers. He later explained his decision to demote Jenna. “I’m at my wits’ end. And although I’m upset at the whole team, Jenna’s behavior last night put her at the epicenter of my decision I have to make. Taking a stripe away from Jenna, it’s a wake-up call.”

After her demotion, Jenna admitted she was reconsidering a relationship with Ben as well as Eddy. “I’m over all that s—t. I just want to do my f—king job right now,” she told chief stew Daisy Kelliher.
