Jaimee Neale and Culver Bradbury started off as so many boatmances do, with two crew members lusting after one another on a drunken crew night out. That said, the two did hit off even when working their first charter together. Culver completely forgot about his crush on Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph upon Jaimee’s arrival. Unlike most boatmances, Culver even made it official with Jaimee as boyfriend and girlfriend. Below Deck Down Under season 2’s finale left a major question about how Jaimee and Culver’s relationship timeline and breakup happened though.
Below Deck reunion host and Bravo kingpin Andy Cohen had Chief Stewardess Aesha Scott and Captain Jason Chambers on Watch What Happens Live after the BDDU season 2 finale. His lack of knowing even what season of BDDU just finished airing and the network not announcing a reunion doesn’t bode well for an episode of the crew getting back together to discuss loose ends from the charter season. Andy having two of the stars on WWHL also suggests he did that in lieu of a BDDU season 2 reunion.

So, that means BDDU season 2 viewers won’t get Cohen asking questions about what happened to Culver and Jaimee’s relationship and how they broke up after the show ended.
Jaimee and Culver’s boatmance hit choppy waters when the left superyacht Northern Sun. On the last crew night out, Jaimee and Lead Deckhand Luka Brunton briefly kissed at the bar while Culver wasn’t looking. They also took selfies together on the last couple of charters and flirted on the boat and in DMs on Instagram. On the crew night out, Jaimee told Luka how hot she thought he was.

However, after kissing for only about a second, Jaimee pulled back and instantly felt guilty about cheating on Culver. The next morning, she fessed up to Culver, although she made it sound like she was blackout drunk and didn’t remember, which wasn’t exactly true.
“I know what you and I have together. I don’t want you to like beat yourself up too much about it, you know? Bigger picture here. We’ve grown close over the season. And I want to see where it goes,” Culver told her, forgiving Jaimee for cheating on him.

Jaimee and Culver then left the boat still an item, and it looks very much like they also traveled together as a couple in Australia.
The two met when serving the fourth group of charter guests about a third of the way into the charter season in spring of 2022. Culver’s sappy tick-the-box love letter to Jaimee reveals they met three weeks before they officially became a couple. So they met in late April 2022, until the season ended on May 21.
From there, both Culver and Jaimee posted photos of them in Broome, Western Australia, in June. So it looks like they went camping together as a couple once the season ended.
On the final crew night out, a drunken Joao Franco grilled Culver on if he had secured a job for him and Jaimee to work the charter season in the Mediterranean. However, it looks like the job offer fell through and the two went camping instead.

Jaime And Culver’s Breakup After The BDDU Season 2 Ended
The BDDU season 2 final crew night out took place on May 21 according to Jaimee’s post with her last night’s outfit on (Instagram).
Culver certainly went campervan camping in and touring around Australia after the show ended. He had a whole itinerary of places he wanted to visit and posts from summer 2022 of him sightseeing in Australia. Someone took a lot of pictures for him. Unless he kept asking strangers around him, it most likely was Jaimee before they broke up.
“All throughout the season I clearly wasn’t into him as he was into me. And I obviously appreciate his forgiveness, because I don’t want him to be angry at me,” Jaimee said in a confessional in the finale about Culver.
“Why did you leave the boat with Culver?” a producer asked.
“I can see how much Culver is hurting and I just feel really guilty, I think sometimes I’m just kind of gutless in giving up on something I should. I want him to feel better, so this is where we’re at.”
So Jaimee extended their relationship outside the boat because she felt bad about hurting Culver. However, it looks like sometime while traveling together in Australia or once Culver returned back home to America Jaimee finally ended it with Culver. We’ll have to wait and find out more about the breakup once the BDDU season 2 co-stars speak publicly about the relationship.
One things for sure, they did at some point break up. Jaimee was dating a fellow Australian recently. They even took a romantic snowboarding trip to New Zealand together.
