Ben’s Below the Deck Calls for a Marriage Commencement After Getting Engaged
The wedding continues Below Deck Down Under was the “triggering” of Ben Robinson after his failure to participate.
On the Monday, March 30, episode of the hit Bravo series, the crew was preparing their main guests to renew their vows. Ben, however, was not so happy as he thought about his impending marriage.
“Oh, I just missed one. It was mine,” he laughed. “Obviously, this evening’s dinner reminds me a lot, but I will put my thoughts behind me.”
Ben joked about how he’s “ruined another wedding,” adding, “And I’ll be damned if I’m going to ruin another one.”
Us Weekly originally released the news in May 2023 that Ben and Kiara Cabral they were engaged after more than three years of dating. Ahead of their planned wedding, Ben confirmed in September 2024 that his engagement had been called off. She gave more insight into what caused the split on Season 4 of Below Deck Down Under, which premiered last month on Bravo.
“I was going to get married last year. And I caught him – he’s been seeing one of my friends for a long time,” he said. “I’m very sensitive because everyone embarrasses me, that’s why.”
Kiara, however, gave her version of how their relationship ended.
“Everything Ben said about me on the show is 100 percent false,” she said in a TikTok video posted in February. “I have never and never will date any of his friends.
Kiara gave her version of how their relationship ended.
“The truth is that I left the relationship – not easily, I might add – because of the way he treated me. There was a lot of trauma I had to face in that relationship,” she said. “And to be honest, I just want it to go away. It’s been two years, and I feel like I’m really on the mend.”
The cast of Below Deck and its spinoff series will do anything for love … or at least have a fun team-up. After seven seasons of the Bravo series — with more than 100 episodes — there’s been plenty of romance to watch unfold. Add to Deck Mediterranean flings and Below Deck Sailing […]
In the video, Kiara said she feels like the internet is “blowing this up and demonizing her,” adding, “[It] it opens up a bunch of scars that I’ve already healed. This is really hard for me to talk about. It’s been two years since the relationship ended, and I’ve been recovering ever since. I hope he has done it too.”
Kiara noted that she knew Ben’s words were “recorded a long time ago.”
“But now that it’s playing out and I’m possessed by demons, it’s very difficult for me and it’s opening up a lot of scars, and I’d really like it to go away,” he continued. “This is the nonsense I left, I wanted to come here and say that, I don’t have a platform, I don’t have anyone, I know that Ben has his followers but I want to be quiet, thank you.
Below Deck Down Under airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 pm ET. New episodes are broadcast the next day on Pigogo.
