Although Bosun Ross McHarg kept shipwrecking his boatmance with Deckhand Katie Glaser, one romance continued to blossom on Below Deck season 10. Deckhand-stew-turned-only-stew-then-fired Camille Lamb and Lead Deckhand Ben Willoughby had an instant connection once meeting aboard superyacht St. David in Saint Lucia. The flirtations started right from the get-go. And Second Stew Alissa Humber‘s aggressive attempts to steal Ben away failed once Camille started twerking for him on the first night out. Now that Below Deck season 10’s finale aired, fans are dying to know are Camille and Ben still together after Below Deck season 10.
The showmance couple were still posting pictures on Instagram of them romantically together while filming together in early 2022.
However, Ben confirmed the couple split after their romantic trip to the Dominican Republic.

And now Ben is getting dragged by fans for dating and living with Leigh-Ann Smith (replacement stew on season 10) in Florida for a month, before ghosting her!

Camille & Ben’s Breakup After Below Deck Season 10
Below Deck season 10 couple Ben and Camille posted lots of the two smitten with each other while working on superyacht St. David when the show was still airing.
Before episode 8 dropped, Ben posted another picture on his Instagram of him and Camille in a tongue embrace. The week prior, the Mississippi blonde bombshell posted another couple photo on her Instagram with the caption ” love is in the air”.
“Dominican Republic was something we both needed to say the least, we genuinely had a spark [that was] comparable to that of a primary school crush. Sadly soon after we decided that this wasn’t meant to be and being honest that was a very tough pill to swallow,” Ben said in a joint statement on his Instagram.

“We are not together anymore in a perfect world it would have been something of a fairytale. We both organically fell in love with one another and had many, many memories to share throughout this whole Below Deck journey.”

Ben, age 27, and Camille, age 24, appear to still be teasing about their on-air romance for clout. Willoughby almost certainly starred on Below Deck season 11. And singer-songwriter Camille is currently promoting her latest single, “Cool Like Me”.
Camille Said She Didn’t See Long-Distance Relationship Working
“He’s from Australia and that’s across the globe. It’s just not realistic for us to carry on. But yeah, at the moment like to keep it at the fact that I really like him,” Camille said about her on-screen crush. However, she did tell Ben at a crew dinner she wanted to share life with someone now and asked them if their relationship and feelings were real.
“Is it for real?”
“It is for real,” Ben said back. The two ended up hooking up that night, while poor Deckhand Tony Duarte tried to sleep in the bottom bunk.
“I’m falling hard for this girl right now. Oh, Ben. What are you doing?” Ben said in a post-production monologue in episode 7
“I’ve not felt something like this in a long time. I’m in a pretty happy place, I’ll tell you that,” the Australian yachtie from the Gold Coast added.
“I’ve been single for two and half years and [bleep], you’re the first chick I actually cuddled in a long time,” Ben confessed to Camille on the show.
Camille now lives in Florida, while it looks like Ben is back living down under. Fans will likely have to wait until the Below Deck season 10 reunion episode to find out if these two defied the boatmance odds and are still dating. More likely the two broke up due to the long-distance. That said, a lot of fans were still shipping the cute pair.
However, long-distance and different priorities appear to have led these to to call it quits.
