Below Deck star Gael Cameron breaks silences after ex Nathan Gallagher convicted in Sydney
Below Deck Mediterranean star Gael Cameron has spoken out for the first time following an arrest warrant being issued for ex-partner Nathan Gallagher.
Gallagher, 28, was arrested in Sydney on December 27 after police were called to a unit complex in Melrose Park in the city’s northwest following reports of an alleged assault the day before, according to a police memo obtained by Rolling Stone.
The alleged incident involved Cameron, who is his former partner and co-star. The pair share a young son named Kayden.
The pair are both currently appearing in the 11th season of the show.
Gallagher, who is from Ireland, was expected to show up to a hearing in the Burwood Local Court on September 1, but failed to appear. Prosecutors believe he fled the country.
Gallagher was charged with “assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing a] person without consent, and common assault”, according to New South Wales Police, Rolling Stone reported last month. The incident reportedly happened on Boxing Day 2025.
Cameron took to Instagram over the weekend, where she addressed the “tough season”.
“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I.
“It’s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself.
“I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that’s come to light, and I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”
The Below Deck bosun was granted conditional bail by the Burwood Local Court on January 15 and scheduled to appear in court yesterday. He had earlier pleaded not guilty.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that prosecutors asked the judge to convict the Irishman in absentia.
Judge Janine Lacy convicted Gallagher on all three charges and issued a warrant for his arrest.
New South Wales Police have issued the warrant, asking anyone with information on Gallagher’s whereabouts not to approach him and to inform authorities.
Following news of the Boxing Day incident, it has also been revealed that Gallagher is subject to a bench warrant issued in Ireland.
This separate warrant relates to an alleged assault of an unknown man in Dungloe in August 2022, two years before Gallagher found fame as a cast member on the Bravo franchise.
