Below Deck Mediterranean sees the Mustique and all its crew spending time on the waters of Genoa, Italy. While the Bravo show’s settings may be picturesque, what’s going down aboard the superyacht is far from it. As Kyle Viljoen attempts to bed down after a night out, Natalya Scudder and Luka Brunton cozy up in the sheets in the top bunk above him.
Reality TV shows as a whole are synonymous with cast member hook-ups and Below Deck is no exception. After kissing in a taxi, Natalya and Luka continued their smooching shenanigans back at the yacht before they were interrupted by her boyfriend’s FaceTime call…
Below Deck’s Natalya and Luka get cozy
Third Stewardess Natalya and Bosun Luka had flirted their way through some of Below Deck Mediterranean season 8.
In the Bravo show’s early episodes, they appeared friendly and Natalya explained in a confessional that she was in a complex romantic relationship back home.
She and her boyfriend are in an open relationship. He could date whoever he wanted, but Natalya wasn’t sure what the rules were when it came to her own love life.
Given the gray area, Natalya and Luka ended up kissing during season 8 episode 7.
Natalya and Luka’s night is interrupted
After hopping into bed together and continuing their kissing session, Natalya’s phone rings and it’s a FaceTime call from her boyfriend.
Her co-star says to answer the call, but she responds: “No, because it’s not going to be good.”
She added that the situation was “not funny,” adding: “This is my f***ing life.”
Luka leaves Natalya with her phone call and heads off to his own bed. She feels “confused” and the next day adds she’s an “emotional wreck.”
Fans are over Bravo star’s relationship
After kissing Luka, Natalya gets ready for the day ahead and explains she no longer wants to be in an open relationship. She says in a confessional her partner wasn’t okay with her being with someone else while on her charter.
Natalya admits she “loves” her boyfriend but has grown close to Luka. Fans have taken to X (Twitter) to share they simply don’t have the minerals to listen to any more information about the open relationship anymore.
One person tweeted: “Is there a mute option on Peacock each time Natalya brings up her boyfriend or relationship? Or a skip button? … asking for a friend.”
Another said: “Natalya’s relationship is so boring.”
A comment from Natalya on an Instagram post from October confirms she’s no longer in an open relationship.
Meanwhile, Luka appears to be loved-up with an Instagram user named Lorena (@lorenapeach) at the time of writing.
