Below Deck's Captain Sandy Says Gael Cameron and Nathan Gallagher Are 'Meant to Be' After They Welcomed First Baby

The Below Deck baby has arrived!

Captain Sandy Yawn, 60, shared her reaction to Below Deck Mediterranean alums Gael Cameron and Nathan Gallagher welcoming their first baby in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE about her partnership with City Cruises Live. 

The couple met and got together during season 9 of the Bravo show. They had an on-and-off relationship, having broken up shortly after the end of the season. However, the pair revealed in September 2024 that they were back together. 

"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."

The couple reflected on their relationship journey in a June 19 Instagram post, captioned, "We met on a boat, crossed over 12 countries, done things we never imagined and now we’re gearing up for our wildest adventure yet… becoming parents."

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

The captain is currently on tour with show alum Hannah Ferrier in partnership with City Cruises Live. The tour sees them meeting fans and participating in fireside chats with Daryn Carp. 

The cruise is set to visit Chicago, Washington D.C. and San Francisco next.
