Distance makes the heart grow fonder… especially for Below Deck’s Kate Chastain and Chef Ben Robinson.
After their final season together on Below Deck Season 4, Robinson admitted he didn’t enjoy working with Chastain, despite their undeniable chemistry and close bond on deck. Though they clashed at times in the galley, they kept a friendship off the show, maintaining a connection over more than a decade, from several miles apart.
"I definitely talk to Ben all the time," Chastain told Bravo's The Daily Dish. "I would say that I've learned over the years, the secret to Ben and I's friendship is distance. We just both have big personalities, and we do better when there's enough space that both of our personalities have enough room. But I always love seeing him and we actually talk quite often...from a distance."
For some time, they didn't have the benefit of "distance" when they purchased condominiums in the same Fort Lauderdale, FL, building. "I live upstairs from Chef Ben. Actually, I just bought a condo. I just bought a condo upstairs from Ben," she told US Weekly in 2021.
“Everybody thinks it’s weird, but it’s actually — we’re like family,” she shared. “Let me tell you, I’ve only gone grocery shopping twice in a month. He even made food for my dog once, and he’s cleaned my AC filter.” At the time, Chastain said she remained friends with Robinson because "I love his girlfriend. Not in that way. They came to visit me last summer when I rented a house [in Florida] during the pandemic, and she lives down there and our dogs get along. It’s great.”
Of course, Below Deck fans know that Robinson and his then-girlfriend-turned-fiancée, Kiara Cabral, ended their engagement. The split became messy after he claimed on Below Deck Down Under that she dated one of his friends—an assertion she has since denied.
Chastain has since purchased a home further north, where she now lives with her toddler son, Sullivan Cay. Both have denied the nonstop gossip that Robinson is the father of Chastain's son. “I’m actually pissed off that it’s not my child,” Robinson joked with Entertainment Tonight. “Because I’d like to be a part of that.”
Below Deck Down Under is on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
