What Happened To Daisy Kelliher After Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4?

Daisy Kelliher has starred as Chief Stew on Below Deck Sailing Yacht for four seasons, and it’s time to talk about what the yachtie has been up to since her tumultuous love triangle imploded. Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, the seasoned stew’s onboard skills run in the family. Her parents also worked on yachts, with her grandfather even boasting an Olympic medal in sailing. The sunny 37-year-old is known for her hardworking and professional attitude, and there’s hope she’ll return for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5.

Daisy’s usual demeanor fell by the wayside when she found herself in a boatmance love triangle between Gary King and Colin McRae. During the season, Daisy hooked up with Colin, the Chief Engineer, despite having a long-standing connection with Gary, the First Officer. While a boatmance isn’t out of character for most Below Deck franchise cast members, Daisy was known for being no-nonsense and focused on her job. Her performance suffered, leading to some disappointment from Captain Glenn Shepard.

Daisy Is Rocking A Brand-New Look

Her New Hair Looks Amazing

Daisy chopped off her signature long blonde locks and traded them for a trendy platinum bob. The Chief Stew is ready for a hot girl summer with such a blunt, confident haircut. Fans in the comments were floored at her new appearance. “Nothing has ever been more meant for you. Looks incredible,” wrote one follower, while another gushed, “I just did the same thing with my hair!!! You’re hair looks fabulous!!!” Daisy is one of the most popular Below Deck franchise members, with very few negative opinions surrounding the bright yachtie.

Daisy’s drastic change in appearance was shocking, but she probably wants to shake off last season’s mishaps. She also recently appeared on the red carpet for the premiere of Star Wars The Acolyte, looking super sleek and glamorous with her platinum hair and a golden-hued slip dress. Daisy expresses herself without apologizing, and it’s great to see her play with style during the off-season.

Daisy Has Been Traveling

She Loves To Explore

Daisy has been traveling the world since filming Below Deck Sailing Yacht. As a natural adventurer, it’s no surprise that Daisy would want to explore during her time between seasons. “Last week,” followed by pink heart emojis, accompanied these fun photos from a recent trip to Los Angeles. Daisy looked super cute in a sundress while holding a drink in the pool. However, the yachtie’s travels haven’t been confined to California. She spent the night partying away for her birthday and dove into the blue waters of Greece for two weeks.

Daisy has always enjoyed traveling but feels most at home in the UK. She attended school in Ireland before deciding to pursue higher education in London, where she studied Hotel Management. After completing her studies, Daisy gained experience working in various luxury hospitality settings, which helped her develop skills in customer service and management. Then, Daisy worked on several high-end yachts, traveling to exotic locations and catering to the needs of affluent clients, which is part of what made her such an amazing Chief Stew.

Daisy’s Sister Bonnie Was In A Motorbike Accident In Thailand

Daisy Was There For Her Sister

Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers met Daisy Kelliher’s sister Bonnie in season 4, when she met up with Daisy and the crew for a night out. Daisy and Bonnie had not seen each other for a few years at that time due to their busy schedules and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, they remained very close. On June 18th, 2024, Daisy shared the first of two Instagram posts on the same day where she revealed to her 406,000 followers that Bonnie was in a traumatic motorbike accident in Thailand a few weeks prior.

“She has had several surgeries including her chest, face and brain and two emergency surgeries one when it happened and one over the weekend and a 12 hour surgery last week.”

Daisy said Bonnie had been discharged from the ICU and was in a normal hospital room for a lengthy recovery. In her second post, Daisy cautioned her followers about the dangers of motorbikes, the importance of wearing a helmet, and how traumatic Bonnie’s accident was for her and her family. Daisy flew to Thailand to be with Bonnie when she heard about the accident. Since her posts, Daisy has not made another post on her page to update fans on Bonnie’s condition, but she has replied to comments from fans on other posts letting them know Bonnie is doing well.

Daisy’s Journey On Below Deck Sailing Yacht Explained

She Got All Tangled Up With Colin And Gary

When Daisy joined the cast as Chief Stew, she brought a wealth of experience from the yachting industry. From the start, she demonstrated her ability to run a tight interior crew. Daisy’s leadership style was firm but fair, earning her the respect of her crew. As her time on the show continued, Daisy maintained professional relationships while still engaging in the camaraderie and social aspects of yacht life. Nearly everybody liked Daisy.

Season 4 brought significant personal challenges for Daisy, marking a turning point in her Below Deck Sailing Yacht journey. The season was dominated by the dramatic love triangle involving Daisy, Colin, and Gary. Despite her typically professional and composed nature, Daisy was at the center of a complicated romantic entanglement.

While she and Gary had a long-standing connection, Daisy decided to explore a romantic relationship with Colin. This decision led to various complications, including jealousy and misunderstandings, especially when Gary accused Daisy of not being truthful about the nature of her relationship with Colin. Throughout the drama, Daisy’s usual professionalism is tested as she struggles to stay on top of her duties as Chief Stew. However, she still has a good reputation in the Below Deck universe.

Will Daisy Return To Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

She’s Likely To Come Back For Season 5

While Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5’s premiere date hasn’t been announced, Daisy will likely return. She’s been an excellent Chief Stew aboard Parsifal III despite some personal drama last season, and Daisy’s changed appearance and behavior is a sign that she’s ready to turn over a new leaf. The Below Deck spin-off remains popular and is sure to return soon. However, Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 will air first. In the meantime, Daisy enjoys traveling and showing off her new look, and hopefully, she will return to screens soon.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 was supposed to air after Below Deck season 11, but Below Deck Med season 9 premiered instead.

The Below Deck franchise could be trying to edit Gary out of BDSY season 5, as they have done a similar thing with a troubled cast member before.

It’s unclear a this point if and when Below Deck Sailing Yacht will get a premiere date, and whether Gary will be a part of it or in future seasons at all. Daisy seems to be a bright constant in the franchise who should by all accounts be a part of the next season with or without Gary. While Daisy focuses on her Bravolebrity status, travels, and sister, fans can anticipate seeing her in the future on their TV screens.

Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
