Everything former chief stewardess Kate Chastain has been up to since leaving Below Deck
She has a son!
Kate Chastain starred on Below Deck from 2014 to 2020, so she’s sort of a Bravo icon. Since starting a new chapter on dry land, here’s everything that Kate’s been up to since Below Deck.
Kate worked as the series’ chief stew for six seasons, starring on seasons two through seven. She first joined the franchise in 2014 before leaving in 2020.
“I just feel like I’m 37 and a half — and I don’t think a girl should be wearing a skort at 38,” she said on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen back in 2020.

In 2023, Kate welcomed her first child, Sullivan Cay, on May 5, 2023, and is raising him as a single mother. She hasn’t publicly revealed the identity of the father, but she’s shut down rumours that it’s Chef Ben Robinson from Below Deck.
A few days ago, she shared a major update on her friendship with Ben, revealing that the two still keep in touch. “Ben and I are absolutely very close. In fact, he called me last week. You know, he’s always busy doing private cheffing for other people around the world, and he’ll check in with me…I’ll see him next week. Ben and I will always remain friends,” she told Bravo Insider.
Kate also hosts her podcast, After Deck with Kate Chastain, a weekly recap show where she breaks down the episodes.
This wasn’t her departure from reality TV, though. She’s starred on The Traitors in season one and season two, and has made guest appearances in following seasons. In season one, she was a Faithful who made it to fifth place, and then she was recruited later as a Traitor in season two, making it to the finale and ending in fourth place.
She also moved into her “perfect” forever home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, last year. “Cause I know we’re gonna be here for that many years to chart his growth, so that’s just really exciting and moving is exhausting, so I’m happy to not be doing that for a long time,” she told The Daily Dish.
