Gael Cameron has released a statement<\/a> reflecting on the most recent season of Below Deck Med, which was filmed prior to Nathan Gallagher’s arrest<\/a>. She shared that it “wasn’t the easiest chapter of my life” and that at the time she’d “moved away with a new baby” and was “still living in survival mode.”<\/p>\n

Gael admitted that there’s “still to much left to be said about that time” but that in spite of everything she thinks she “did okay.” She continued: “For almost three of the six weeks we were there, my best friend flew over to be with us. With an extra set of hands and a bit of care I stopped just surviving and moments there I got to feel like myself again.<\/p>\n

“I just wish I had more photos with this incredible cast. And huge props to everyone, cast and crew, in front of the camera and behind it. I get to see how hard you all work and how much heart and soul goes into what you do.”<\/p>\n

Gael added: “Leaving my support system at home wasn\u2019t the plan, but I\u2019m so grateful for the experience. Croatia showed me the strength I have as a mother and as a woman: no matter how challenging the circumstances, I will survive. And not only that, I\u2019ll always find the pockets of joy, cause life is a beautiful thing and there is always light as long as you keep looking for it.”<\/p>\n

Gael Cameron has previously talked about the support she’s been shown by Below Deck Med viewers throughout everything going on with Nathan, sharing: “Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you\u2019ve shown for Kayden and I.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself. I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that\u2019s come to light, and I\u2019m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
