Below Deck season 11’s boatmances were turbulent all season long, especially Ben Willoughby’s romance with Marie “Sunny” Marquis, but did the pair stay together after their time on the series ended? Ben, who was first featured on Below Deck season 10 where he had another boatmance with Camille Lamb, swore that he wasn’t going to get into anything romantic during his second turn on St. David. Unfortunately for Ben, his relationship with Sunny was one he didn’t see coming. The pair were instantly attracted to each other, and with both of them working on the exterior team, things heated up.
Ben and Sunny’s boatmance wasn’t a struggle early on, as both were excited to get closer and learn more about each other. While neither of them appeared to be interested in getting anything serious, Sunny quickly became more interested in labeling the relationship and creating some boundaries, while Ben wasn’t sure that he needed anything defined. While the pair were interested in one another, things were rocky as they worked through their issues. The couple separated a bit before coming back together, then did this again later in the charter season. After Below Deck season 11, are Ben & Sunny together?
Ben & Sunny’s Journey On Below Deck
Ben and Sunny quickly found themselves drawn together during Below Deck season 11. While Ben, who appeared on Below Deck season 10 for his inaugural charter season, was convinced that he wasn’t going to get into another boatmance after he was burned before. Ben’s Below Deck boatmance with Camille was a struggle throughout the charter, and after his former flame was fired, Ben and Camille tried to keep their relationship afloat after the season ended. Ben revealed Camille had cheated on him during their time together. He was turned off from boatmances, but after seeing Sunny, he changed his tune.
The pair quickly got together aboard St. David, at first casually hooking up, but getting more serious as the charters continued. Ben wasn’t interested in putting any serious labels on his relationship with Sunny, letting her know that they should keep things casual while they were on the boat and see how they felt after the final charter of the season. Sunny was okay with this, but she felt that there should be a few boundaries in place, and when Ben was disrespectful, she let him know. Though the pair struggled throughout the charter season, they left St. David happy.
Ben & Sunny Left The Boat Together
During the final moments of Below Deck season 11, Ben and Sunny revealed that they’d be leaving St. David together. Though things had been rocky for the couple leading up to the last few charters of the season, they reconnected during the second-to-last charter of the season and found themselves bunking together again after a stretch of sleeping apart. Ben and Sunny both shared that they were still interested in each other, but they wanted to get on the same page before they moved forward with any sort of relationship. The pair talked openly about what they were looking for.
Though Ben and Sunny weren’t sure that they wanted to define their relationship before leaving St. David, but they were happy to be getting back together as the charter season ended. Throughout the final charter, they were far more comfortable with being publicly touchy, excited to see what would be next for their relationship once they got off St. David. The pair left the superyacht together, bound for their next adventure without worrying about their exterior team duties for some time. Though they were happy to be leaving together, the couple didn’t seem to make any choices about their future.
