Below Deck Mediterranean’s Nathan Gallagher and Gael Cameron’s son, Kayden Cameron Gallagher, is officially a year old! Gael and Nathan welcomed their son into the world on June 24, 2025, and are now celebrating his major milestone as he marks his big first birthday.
Nathan took to his Instagram Story, where he revealed that they were celebrating Kayden’s birthday at a play place. Nathan held his son in his lap before sliding down a slide, while Gael spoke from behind the camera, telling him how to hold Kayden. The little boy seemed very pleased with this activity, holding onto balls and babbling once the slide was over. “I think he enjoyed that more than me,” Nathan told Gael.
“Happy birthday to the most beautiful blessing God has given to the both of us,” he wrote over the video. “The love we share for you is out of this world.”
He also posted a photo of himself and Kayden cuddling together. “I can’t believe you’re 1 already. Absolutely insane,” Nathan wrote.
