Joe Bradley and Kizzi Kitchener’s kiss was wild, but now he looks cosy with another Below Deck star?!
Literally can't keep up with this crew
Joe Bradley really said ‘chaos, but make it cute’ on Below Deck Mediterranean.
Just when the boatmance energy felt like it was settling, he and Kizzi Kitchener delivered a late-night kiss that instantly raised the stakes.
It was messy in the way only yachting, plus too much flirting and zero sleep, can be messy.
The funniest part is that they tried to hide it, which is optimistic at best when you are mic’d and filmed 24/7.
Now, with Joe also getting cosy with another Below Deck Mediterranean star, the timeline feels confusing in the most Bravo way possible.

The moment happens during Below Deck Med season 10, when Joe and Kizzi share a late-night kiss after crew downtime.
They are so determined to keep it secret that they scramble around trying to avoid cameras, which somehow makes the moment even bigger.
The two briefly broke the fourth wall while trying to dodge being filmed, making it feel even more dramatic.
Back in the cabin, Joe’s reaction says everything.
He tells Nathan that he cannot fully remember what happened, but thinks it could cost him, per Bravo.
Translation, Victoria ‘V’ SanJuan is definitely not going to love this. The fact that they had a connection is what makes the kiss feel so wild.
Throughout the season, the edit builds a love-triangle energy between Joe, Kizzi and Vee, with Joe drifting between playful flirting and emotionally charged late-night moments that feel way more serious than he seems prepared for.
Where does everyone stand now?

Off the yacht, the romantic chaos does not turn into a lasting relationship for anyone involved.
Kizzi is now engaged. In late 2025, she confirmed her engagement to professional rugby player Tom Whiteley, sharing loved-up photos and putting a very clear full stop on any speculation about her Below Deck flirtation. Whatever happened on board was clearly just a chapter, not the whole story.
As for Joe and Vee, despite their close moments on the show, they are not together. Vee has addressed the situation publicly and said they are on good terms but not romantically involved.
Joe has echoed a similar sentiment, framing the experience as a learning curve rather than a missed relationship.
So why are people suddenly side-eyeing Joe again? Because his post-show Instagram activity is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Joe has been sharing sun-soaked snaps from Bali, and one familiar name keeps popping up in the comments. Enter Cathy Skinner, his Below Deck Med co-star, who has been leaving enthusiastic, flirty reactions under his posts that folks clocked immediately.
It is subtle, but not that subtle. The kind of comments that make you pause mid-scroll and think, okay… something is being hinted at here. Especially in the Below Deck universe, where Instagram behaviour is basically a second reunion episode.
Nothing has been confirmed, and neither Joe nor Cathy has addressed the speculation directly. Still, when you combine the cosy tone of the comments with Joe’s newly single status and the show’s history of off-camera connections, it is enough to get viewers talking. In Bravo land, that is usually how these things start…
