Gael Cameron, a former partner and Below Deck co-star of Nathan Gallagher, has spoken publicly for the first time since Gallagher fled Australia after being found guilty of choking and asphyxiating her while their infant son lay beside her. Without naming him directly, Cameron used an Instagram post to thank followers for their support and said she was focused on healing and rebuilding her life for herself and her son, Kayden. The case matters because Gallagher is now the subject of an arrest warrant after failing to appear in court, and the fallout has prompted broadcaster Bravo to sever ties with him, sparking wider debate about how the network handles the ongoing series featuring the pair.

The couple met filming Below Deck Mediterranean and continued appearing together through subsequent series, including scenes with their son, born in June last year. Bravo confirmed it had dropped Gallagher from the show, but fans have criticised the network for not pulling episodes featuring him and Cameron, with some calling for a disclaimer or for the season to be cancelled entirely. Separately, Gallagher has faced renewed scrutiny over comments he made about Muslims following the Bondi Beach shootings in December, which he insists were aimed at "terrorists and criminals" rather than the wider Muslim community, noting that Cameron's own family is Muslim.
