Captain Glenn Shephard Defends His Relationship with Girlfriend Danelis and Their “Age Difference”
The Below Deck Sailing Yacht boss is sounding off on criticism surrounding his love life.
When it comes to his relationship with girlfriend Danelis “Dani” Jimenez, Captain Glenn Shephard isn’t here for the negativity.
The Below Deck Sailing Yacht boss has been dating Dani for nearly five years now, and he’s still sticking up for his lady at any cost, no matter who it is. And that much is proven true according to a recent social media post from the longtime yachtie. Read on to find out why Captain Glenn is setting the record straight on his love life.
Captain Glenn Shephard responds to criticism on his “age difference” with his girlfriend, Dani
As a quick refresher, Dani is 19 years younger than her boyfriend. With that in mind, some have criticized the couple’s connection due to their age gap; however, Captain Glenn is finally setting the record straight on the situation.
What started as a sweet birthday tribute on social media for Dani’s 43rd birthday quickly turned to be a powerful message to the naysayers. “Some here have commented that Danelis looks like my daughter or I’m old enough to be her dad,” Captain Glenn wrote in his November 21 Instagram post.
He went on to list a few reasons why his and Dani’s relationship shouldn’t be defined by their level of maturity but by their bond.
“I knew this apparent age difference would be an issue for some, but my feeling is when you find someone who you click with that is perfect in every other way, when it comes to love and happiness, I can think of no other best time to throw caution to the wind,” Captain Glenn shared about his partner. “Like I always say, life is short and you only die once and when you do, you stay that way for a very long time.”
The Below Deck Sailing Yacht captain concluded his post with one final thought, writing, “To all of you who have maybe had that thought and chose to keep it to yourselves, thank you.”

As mentioned, Captain Glenn originally took his feed to wish his lovebug a happy birthday. The two celebrated the occasion with an intimate dinner with a gorgeous beachside view in Portixol, Palma de Mallorca. They captured the moment with an adorable selfie.
While Captain Glenn failed to give his followers a look at their meal, he did show off their cocktails of choice, which appeared to be a glass of champagne and an Aperol spritz.
