Never say never? Gary King and Daisy Kelliher got off to a rocky start when they met in Below Deck Sailing Yacht — but the twosome continue to fuel dating speculation since becoming friends.
Viewers were originally introduced to the first officer and the chief stew during season 2 of the hit Bravo series in 2021. At the time, Gary and Daisy faced many ups and downs when it came to working together in their separate departments.
While appearing on the season 2 reunion in June 2021, the Ireland native admitted that she wasn’t sure if she would work with Gary again in the future. “You clearly also hated me and thought that I was a giant bitch,” she said, referring to the comments her coworker made during his confessional interviews.
Gary, for his part, clarified, “I may have said you were acting bitchy, I never said you’re a bitch.”
Sparks seemingly flew between Gary and Daisy when they reunited in season 3. During a crew night out, the pair ended up sharing a steamy kiss in the hot tub that almost led to them hooking up.
Ahead of the show’s return, Daisy joked that she didn’t remember the moment until she watched it back. “I feel like that was my alternate personality. We need to name her, but that definitely wasn’t me,” she said via Instagram in January 2022. “I’m really enjoying how many people’s minds are blown [about Gary]. No one’s mind was more blown than mine the next day. I have no recollection of that kiss.”
The Bravo personality added: “What can I say, I’m not picky when it comes to making out with people. I’ll pretty much make out with anyone.”
One month later, Gary took to social media to poke fun at the romance rumors about him and Daisy. “Hey guys, just because many of you are asking, Daisy and I are dating,” he said in an Instagram video in February 2022, during their joint trip to Disneyland in California. In the clip, the twosome shared a laugh at his comment before continuing to document their adventures together.
That same month, Daisy addressed the online support for her relationship with Gary. “I honestly got such a kick out of how people were jumping to conclusions when we posted a photo together at Disneyland,” she exclusively told Us Weekly. “So, our phones were blowing up. He did the joke story being, like, ‘Yeah, we’re dating.’ And no, we are just friends. We’re lucky that we are two adults who can share a kiss and still be friends.”
Scroll down for Daisy and Gary’s most honest quotes about a potential romance:
"Gary's a magnet. Like, there's a reason why he gets all these girls. He's very, very funny. He's very charming," Daisy gushed to Us in February 2022. "He is very charismatic, and I get it and I normally am drawn to that. Everyone loves a good flirt, and I don't find him attractive, but I could see the draw. But [in] season [3], I think why it got complicated is because we were both a bit upset about how we spoke about each other last season."

“I think there’s something there between Daisy and I, for sure. The more I spend time with Daisy and the more I get to know her, the more I like her,” Gary said on Daisy's “Pita Party” Instagram show with Alli Dore in June 2022. “We’ve never really actually spent some quality time together. A little bit here and there, but it hasn’t been for, like, a week, you know? Doing a TV show is a bit different. You’ve got cameras around all the time, you’ve got other people there, so I find that’s different.” Laurent Basset/Bravo (2)
For Daisy, the decision to not explore a romantic future with Gary came from his past dating history. “The first thing, most importantly, Gary loves the chase. I think if I was ever to give in, he would become very bored very, very quickly," she said via her Instagram show in June 2022. Gary, for his part, said that he was “not the type of person that gets bored" easily in relationships. In response, Daisy pointed out that he seems to “have feelings for everyone" he meets, adding, “Like, how I am supposed to possibly take that seriously?” The South Africa native continued to note that Daisy's observations are "not entirely" true. “I think we do get along well, and there’s definitely chemistry there,” he added. “I’m not going to deny that.” Courtesy of Daisy Kelliher/Instagram
In June 2022, Gary and Daisy filmed the season 3 reunion in her apartment in the U.K. During the special, the former bosun weighed in on their future. "I think if people watched season 2, they would realize I always had a soft spot for Daisy. I have always felt attracted to Daisy and it is quite weird speaking about this because she is sitting just over there," he said about his costar, who was sitting in a different room. "But I love Daisy. I love her as a person, I love her personality and I think she is a superstar and gorgeous at that." Later in the episode, Gary ran into Daisy's room to give her a kiss on the cheek. Courtesy of Gary King/Instagram
During BravoCon in October 2022, Daisy and Gary caused a stir with their flirty interaction, an eyewitness exclusively told Us. “I was just trying to enjoy a hot tub, enjoy it with Daisy,” Gary explained to the audience, referring to the pair’s make-out session during season 3. “All of a sudden Daisy was, like, attacking me.” The Ireland native, for her part, recalled Gary getting out of the hot tub and looking “really sad.” She revealed, “He got up and ate a cucumber with the wrapper on it still. I was sad that didn't make the cut.” The pair were again put in the hot seat during a game of “Never Have I Ever,” the "naughty yachtie" edition when asked if they’d every “done it” in a hot tub with another crew member. “No! We did not have sex,” Daisy said, before Gary leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “I am admitting two years later we have chemistry. That's about it though,” Daisy concluded. “Everyone stop looking at me.” NBC (2)
