Below Deck's Ben Willoughby and Sunny Share Big News After Season 11: "You Guessed it"
Find out if the Below Deck Season 11 yachties are still together following the dramatic charter season.
The Below Deck Season 11 boatmance between Ben Willoughby and Sunny Marquis has blossomed into a full-blown relationship (emphasis on the ship).
Heading into the Season 11 finale, which aired on May 27, stew Barbara "Barbie" Pascual was exploring a romance with deckhand Kyle Stillie, while Bosun Ben was involved in a boatmance with lead deckhand Sunny.
Following the season, one of those two pairs has stayed together: Sunny and Ben!
Are Ben Willoughby and Sunny Marquis still together?
Ben confirmed the exciting news that he is still dating Sunny via his Instagram feed after the Below Deck Season 11 finale aired on May 27.
He shared a carousel of PDA-filled photos with Sunny on his page, and captioned the shots, "Yeah you guessed it [—] we're still together."
"Finally[,] we can let go of the secrecy that has been held for the past 15 months," he continued. "We want to thank you all for the support throughout Season 11 [of Below Deck] it’s been a rollercoaster to relive the season and the beginning of a relationship. We ended up traveling the globe together last year[,] and Sunny made her way to Australia for Christmas. Anyways, hoping you all enjoyed the season. Sunny and Ben xx."
Before the two left St. David on the finale, they shared that they were planning to spend some time together traveling, and take things "step by step." While Ben and Sunny admitted that they weren't sure where things were going in their relationship, it's clear that the two were able to make things work outside of the boat.

Are Barbie Pascual and Kyle Stillie still together?
Like Sunny and Ben, Kyle and Barbie made plans to spend time together once the Below Deck Season 11 charter season wrapped. However, unlike Ben and Sunny, Barbie and Kyle's boatmance didn't even make it off the yacht.
During the final crew night out, Barbie and Kyle got into a disagreement when the latter yachtie decided to jump into the water naked. Though they made amends before going back to the boat, things fell apart, once again, for Kyle and Barbie in the van.
As Barbie was getting into a disagreement with interior team member Xandi Olivier, she looked to Kyle to defend her.
"I'm back in your corner, but I'm telling you, you need to shut the f-ck up," he told her. "Like, that's me back in your corner."
Once Barbie got back to her cabin, she decided to pack her things, break up with Kyle, and leave (but not necessarily in that order).
"You're supposed to be the person on my team," she told him. "All you did is back other people now. Get the f-ck away from me, leave me alone."
She reflected on the demise of the boatmance in an interview on the episode.
"Me and Kyle are freaking done," Barbie said. "I'm never gonna be with somebody who doesn't have my back, and now, to have this guy I broke down every wall with, and to have this guy I went against my family with, to have this guy sit next to me and let these other people attack me is just — Kyle is the biggest disappointment of them all. I never want to see Kyle again."
