Below Deck star Fraser Olender is back for another season after a challenging, and very rewarding, promotion to chief stew last season. Once Camille Lamb departed the interior, Fraser had a harmonious crew indeed. But it’s not always work with no play. And while Season 10 was a huge learning curve for Fraser, the upcoming one promises a little bit of fun for the Below Deck favorite. There’s even a smooch with a Season 11 charter guest in Fraser’s cards.
Fraser is dating somebody, but is it the Below Deck charter guest?
The chief stew exclusively told E! News that he shared a “quite exciting” kiss with a charter guest named Steven in Below Deck Season 11.
“I do break one of my No. 1 rules actually,” Fraser dished. “and I end up getting with the guest. We’ll see what happens there. It’s quite an exciting part of this season.”
Notably the Bravolebrity is also “a bit nervous for everyone to see” what went down on the motor yacht St. David.
When the news publication asked if the duo were still a couple, Fraser got coy and did not confirm or deny if Steven was still in his life.
“I’m in a relationship at the moment,” Fraser gushed. “I’m getting lots of DMs of people asking what’s going on, but you’ll all find out in due course. You gotta stay tuned.”
The chief stew was so concerned about boating protocal that he did not make a move on his crush before checking in with Captain Kerry Titheradge.
“I was beyond respectful and I asked captain way before things got physical,” Fraser said. “He absolutely gave me the green light, so I felt like I could do a home run and I did.”
Returning lead deck hand Ben Willoughby also gave his stamp of approval on Steven and Fraser. While he didn’t confirm Fraser’s boyfriend was the guest, he claimed to know the new man in Fraser’s life, even before Fraser knew him.
“Funny enough, I was friends with his boyfriend before he knew him and started dating him,” Ben explained. “So, I know both Fraser and his current boyfriend separately. I think they’re a great match for one another and very cheeky.”
Below Deck Season 11 premieres Monday, February 5, at 9/8c on Bravo.
