Gael Cameron is sharing what fans of“Below Deck Mediterranean”never saw on screen. In a new Instagram post, the Season 11 star said she moved to Croatia with a new baby and was“still living in survival mode”while cameras were rolling. Looking back, she added,“But honestly? I think I did okay.”That quiet line is resonating with moms everywhere.
The context makes it heavier. Nathan Gallagher, 28, Cameron’s ex and the father of her 1-year-old son Kayden, was arrested in Sydney in December 2025 on domestic violence charges, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm and intentionally choking a person without consent, according to a police report obtained by Rolling Stone. The case was later revealed to involve Cameron. Bravo cut ties with Gallagher following the arrest. Gallagher has said he made mistakes but disputed being portrayed through one person’s account.
Cameron’s focus now is forward. She said Croatia showed her“the strength I have as a mother and as a woman,”and she thanked her best friend, who flew to Croatia for three weeks so she could feel like herself again. It’s a reminder that the people who show up matter more than the ones who don’t. What’s the one thing that got you through your hardest season as a parent?
