Gael Cameron is opening up about what it was like to introduce her and Nathan Gallagher’s son, Kayden Cameron Gallagher, to Captain Sandy Yawn and Aesha Scott during Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11, Episode 2.
The new parents brought their son aboard M/Y Akira One during the episode to introduce him to Aesha and Captain Sandy, who brought Nathan and Gael together as deckhands during Below Deck Med Season 9. Although Nathan is working as a bosun on Below Deck Med Season 11, without Gael, the mother-son duo relocated to Dubrovnik, Croatia, to be closer to him during the charter season, allowing them to bring him on board.
Gael took to Instagram on June 16, where she shared videos of Sandy meeting Kayden and posted the sweetest photos of him in his M/Y Akira One onesie. “Getting to introduce our little man to [Captain Sandy] and [Aesha] was so special,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “They’ve both always been incredibly supportive and have meant a lot over the years.”
“It was also wonderful meeting the rest of the crew and making new friends along the way! Moments like these are ones I’ll never forget,” she concluded.
