In a surprise that has sent shockwaves through the Below Deck fandom, Daisy Kelliher—the beloved chief stew from Below Deck Sailing Yacht—has officially welcomed her first baby and, in a twist worthy of prime-time television, has publicly revealed the identity of her child’s father. The announcement, which took fans and even some castmates by complete surprise, is already being hailed as one of the biggest bombshells in recent reality TV history.

Daisy Kelliher has spent years navigating choppy waters—both literal and emotional—as the outspoken, quick-witted chief stew on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Known for her sharp sense of humor, leadership style, and infamous love triangles, Daisy has become a fan favorite.

That all changed this week when Daisy took to Instagram to share a heartfelt post announcing the arrival of her newborn. Accompanying the sweet photo of tiny baby toes and a hand in hers, Daisy wrote:
“The greatest adventure of my life has just begun. Welcome to the world, little one. You are already so loved.”
The post quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of likes and an outpouring of congratulatory comments from fans, friends, and fellow Below Deck stars.
