Keep scrolling for the biggest revelations from the second and final part of the reunion.
What Happened Between Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae After BDSY Season 4
When Colin and Daisy left Parsifal III on the Season 4 finale, they vowed to keep in contact and to see if their connection could last off the boat.
During the reunion, Colin noted that the two “explored something together” after the show, but said things fell apart by the end of 2022.
“The first time I saw her again was at the Newport boat show. I flew her in from the U.K. to come see me. That was really good,” he said. “There was a couple of other things that we did. We spent a couple of weeks together in Mexico. I flew to New York to see her.”
However, after seeing each other a few times, Colin said the relationship took a hit.
“We were kind of bouncing around together for a little while, and then it kind of turned a little toxic, I would say, and I ended things around December [of] last year,” he added.
Why Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae’s Relationship Turned “Toxic”
Both Daisy and Colin agreed on one thing: Their romance ended badly. When asked why the relationship became toxic, Daisy said, “Because we triggered each other. You’re missing the whole point of why it really turned badly.”
Daisy went on to claim that Colin had been sleeping with someone else when he arrived to Parsifal III to film Season 4.
“I turn up to the boat and I find out that he has been sleeping with someone that he is working with,” Daisy said, explaining why she seemed upset with Colin throughout the season. “So I immediately retreat, put up all of my walls… I become very defensive.”
Daisy Kelliher reveals Colin MacRae’s current relationship status
The chief stew noted that Colin made her “feel very guilty about the Gary [King] thing” during filming, and “throughout the year” afterward.
“Then throughout the year, I permanently asked about this woman, and I asked why it was different with me and Gary and not this woman. And he said, ‘The difference is I’m telling you there’s nothing between me and this woman, that there is no future, even if you and I break up, there’s no future,’” Daisy recalled.
However, after she and Colin broke up, Daisy found out he was in a relationship with the woman he had apparently been hooking up with before Season 4.
“So then to find out from my crew members a couple of months after we had broken up that he was now in a serious relationship with this woman, it was very shocking for me to hear, very hurtful,” she added. “And the toxicity was always there because the trust was never there.”
Colin later spoke up about his girlfriend, noting that she “treats me really f-cking good.”
Colin MacRae and Daisy Kelliher’s Pre-Season Hook-Up
Viewers may have thought that Colin and Daisy shared their first kiss on the staircase on Episode 8 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4, but the engineer dropped a bombshell during the reunion that changed everything.
“Before filming Season 4, Daisy and I hooked up,” Colin revealed. “This is what nobody knows in the audience, nobody knows this.”
Daisy interjected, asking for the two to “go back to Season 2” if they wanted to talk about everything that happened.
“This is why the relationship turned toxic,” Colin said, reacting to Daisy’s interjection. “You can’t reason with this woman. And I realized that, and that’s why I ended things with her.”
Colin said he called Gary after he first hooked up with Daisy, and the first mate was “stoked.” He said he told Captain Glenn Shephard as well, and he was “happy about it.”
“Daisy was in my hotel room days before filming,” he added. “We had started something already.”
When did Colin MacRae find out about Gary King and Daisy Kelliher’s hook-up?
While Daisy and Colin may not have been fully honest about when they first kissed, Colin said he really did find out about Daisy and Gary’s hook-up on the show.
“I found that out halfway through the season, filming,” he confirmed on the reunion.
Why Daisy Kelliher Got Emotional at the Reunion
On the final part of the reunion, viewers got some clarity about the moment when Daisy got up from her chair.
The chief stew began to cry when Colin said she had “zero remorse” about the end of their relationship.
When she returned to her chair, Daisy explained why she had such a strong reaction.
“I’m f-cked either way. I’m always going to be the bitter, angry, crazy woman,” she said. “I’m never gonna win. It’s never gonna matter what I say. It’s never gonna matter, my actions.”
Where Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae Stand Today
Though Colin and Daisy no longer have a romantic relationship or even a friendship with each other, they both acknowledged that their connection was genuine. Colin noted that he “a thousand percent” had real feelings for Daisy.
“I told her the whole time. Before the season, during the season, after the season. Genuine connection. I did my very, very, very f-cking best to try to be with this woman. I flew her all around the place, I was trying to make it work,” he said. “This isn’t badmouthing Daisy, but she was sort of pushing me away a little bit, trying to figure out if it was real. Unfortunately, by the time she figured out it was real, we were arguing exactly as we are tonight.”
Daisy said she wasn’t in love with Colin, but she did have “very strong feelings to the point of possibly we were falling in love.”
“I was more afraid by the fact that he didn’t tell me he was with this girl. I thought we were friends, and I thought we broke up in friendship,” she continued. “Knowing that all of these people on this screen knew this for months before I did is humiliating.”
