After Captain Jason denied hooking up with Heather Gay, she’s doubling down and insisting they did
This is getting so confusing
It wouldn’t be Bravo without a little crossover chaos, right? Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay and Below Deck Down Under’s Captain Jason Chambers have somehow become the network’s latest ‘did they or didn’t they?’ storyline.
He’s the dashing Aussie captain, she’s the sharp-tongued Utah businesswoman with a knack for turning awkward moments into viral TV gold.
Now, after Jason shut down the hookup rumours, Heather’s giving us the Bravo-verse equivalent of a cheeky wink and saying: “Oh, we absolutely did,” so let’s break things down…
Captain Jason denied a hook-up with Heather

It all started when Jason appeared on Watch What Happens Live and Andy Cohen went straight for the juicy question.
He asked the Captain whether he and Heather actually hooked up. Jason, ever the gentleman, laughed off the idea.
“No, it’s not true,” he said firmly, explaining that the two “hung out in Sydney” and have remained friendly since.
He even tried to keep things diplomatic, adding that Heather is “a great woman,” but stated how nothing romantic ever happened.
Of course, that didn’t stop Andy, or the Bravo audience, from pressing for more. Jason stuck to his story, calling their time together “fun” but insisting they’re just mates.
He may have cheekily teased that “what happens in Sydney stays in Sydney,” but to him, it was friendship, not flirtation, per People.
The captain clearly thought that would be the end of it, but Ms Gay had other plans!
The RHOSLC star is doubling down?!

Fast forward to The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s yacht trip, captained by none other than Jason, and Heather’s giving us a whole new version of events.
While chatting with Britani Bateman, she casually dropped the bomb that she and Jason “have a history” and even admitted they’d “messed around before.” Then, realising she might’ve said too much, she laughed and added: “Delete, delete!” in a confessional.
But the moment was already immortalised on Bravo. And because Heather never misses an opportunity for playful chaos, she followed it up with some hilarious one-liners about “riding him like a bronco.” Subtlety? Never heard of her.
Now, she’s standing by what she said, even after Jason’s denial.
Appearing on WWHL once again, she doubled down and said: “Maybe nothing happened?! Well, that’s fine, if that’s how he defines nothing, that’s fine…”
She continued: “Note to all the ladies that Jason dates… I’m just kidding… I love him, we had so much fun in Australia, he was my guide in many ways…”
Heather’s take seems to be, yes, something happened, but it’s not that deep. Think flirty fun, not a full-blown Bravo love story. Meanwhile, Jason’s politely keeping his captain’s hat on and steering clear of the gossip waves.
