"I watched Nathan over the years I’ve been with him," Yawn tells PEOPLE. "I wondered what happened to him and Gael. When he came back this season, I was like, 'Where is she?' They went their different ways and then I fired someone, and she was available. The next thing you know…"

"It was like they were meant to be together," she adds of the deckhands. 

Cameron and Gallagher welcomed their son on June 25 after revealing their pregnancy in late March. The new parents each shared a snap of themselves with their newborn on their Instagram Stories.

 

The proud dad wrote under photo snap with his newborn that it's "time to soak up every minute with this little guy."

In May, Cameron exclusively told PEOPLE that she felt overwhelmed when they first found out the happy news.

"Honestly, it was a mix of emotions. I was excited, a little scared, but mostly just overwhelmed with happiness," she said. "It felt surreal in the best way, like everything was about to change in the best way possible."

Yawn expressed her support in the comments section, writing, "Match made from Heaven."
