As a die-hard Below Deck fan with a heart full of empathy and a touch of voyeuristic delight, I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness upon hearing about Ben Robinson‘s split from his fiancée Kiara Cabral. Their love story, much like the waves that rock their yachts, had its share of calm and turbulent moments.


Monica (Below Deck cast member) revealed his separation from partner Kiara Cabral on Monday, following a challenging summer.

Their seperation comes just one year after her popped the question to his then girlfriend of four years back in May 2023. 

On Instagram, Ben, aged 43, openly disclosed a significant choice he made, expressing gratitude to his followers for their backing as he deemed it the optimal decision for all parties involved.

He wrote: ‘Hey guys, I hope everyone’s had a wonderful summer. I have missed being in touch with you, but I’m finally able to share my adventures. 

Here’s a possible way to rephrase the original statement in a more natural and easy-to-read manner:

Ben went on to say: ‘Rather than delving into the rationale for these choices, I’d prefer to share my current situation with you.’

Hopefully, the backing of my devoted supporters, dear friends, and family will eclipse my concerns. They consistently provide me with the necessary courage.

I’m thrilled to carry on igniting my culinary creativity with my reliable induction cooktop and handy blowtorch. In the end, everyone deserves a hassle-free cooking experience. Here’s to easy cooking, my dear friends!

Back in May 2023, I, an over-the-moon fan, couldn’t help but share the thrilling news that my beloved idol, Ben, had popped the question to the radiant Kiara! He generously bestowed upon us a delightful array of engagement snaps, capturing their blissful moments on a picturesque boat voyage from Limitless Seas. I still can’t believe it! 💍❤️🌊

Kiara flashed a diamond engagement ring, which was tagged as being from Robinsons Jewelers.

Following a fantastic four-year journey with my beloved Kiara, I chose to move forward and pop the question… I can’t help but think I’m the most fortunate man on earth! This was the start of his post, shared alongside an article from Us Weekly.

The Bravo star said: ‘Thank you to my friends and family for all of your support.

‘I couldn’t have done it without you, and obviously thank you to Kiara for saying yes and making an honest man out of me. I love you.’

Afterward, Ben began his work by listing all the businesses he’s associated with: Limitless Seas, Robinsons Jewelers, Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean, and Bravo.

He shared with UsWeekly that he drew everyone close, including his friends and family, into a beautiful romance. With their assistance, we’re now delighted to announce our engagement, and I eagerly anticipate a future filled with love and joy alongside the charming Kiara.

‘It’s an amazing feeling secure in such a beautiful romance and friendship.

We’re working with multiple cruise companies, including Emerald Cruise Lines, and we had an itinerary scheduled for Italy.

Following the completion of our sailing duties, we opted to spend four evenings in Rome. It was clear that Kiara viewed this as a significant occasion and seemed to anticipate something beyond just a traditional carbonara. Although she denies it, her feelings were evident to me.

Additionally, Ben mentioned the ring, stating: ‘The ring was hidden inside a concealed pocket of my camera bag. At one point, Kiara was searching for a lost LED light, and in that instance, I had the ring.’

‘I was sure she must’ve seen it, but she did not!’ he continued. 

Instead of remembering to bring it along, I left it behind during our journey to the airport and attributed our unexpected stop to adjusting the air conditioning. The trip was quite turbulent. Yet, it was definitely worth it. Unbeknownst to her, as I knelt in St. Peter’s Square, Vatican, I was planning to propose.

In 2020, Ben shared with Andy Cohen that there’s a girl he currently has feelings for. They’re moving cautiously to see where their relationship might lead.

‘But she’s a friend, and we’re having a good time together.’

He said, ‘Kate’s very good friends with Kiara and we all live in the same building.’

Chastain explained, ‘It functions well because I care for his girlfriend deeply, not romantically. They stopped by my Florida rental home last summer during the pandemic, and she resides there permanently. Our pets also get along wonderfully. It’s fantastic!’
