João sent his warmest wishes to Jack and his girlfriend, Kelly Hidge, after the couple announced that they are expecting their first child. "Congrats to this guy! And his girl," João captioned a photo of himself and Jack taken on September 11 that he recently shared in his Instagram Story. "What a champ."

The yachties were often at odds this season of Below Deck Med as bosun João struggled to motivate his deckhand Jack. However, by the end of the season, João and Jack seemed to be on good terms, giving each other a big hug before leaving the Sirocco.
