All The Flings Gary King Was Involved In On Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Delivering five-star service on a moving vessel where guest expectations exceed reality is not a career for the faint of heart, just ask any seasoned deckhand or stewardess. Add in the added pressure of tight-living spaces, unpredictable weather, and 14-hour workdays — and the stress could make just about anyone crumble. What keeps yachties going are fat tips and spending time in some of the most luxurious places in the world. Another factor is the carefree — and generally attractive — twenty-to-thirty-something crew members that choose to make money aboard a floating hotel. Hookups are bound to happen, even in the smallest of bunk beds, making the charter season more bearable or a downright disaster — depending on how things play out.

 Lucky for us viewers, we get to watch it all go down on Bravo's "Below Deck." The docu-series follows the ins and outs of yachties aboard some of the chicest motor yachts in the world. The popular series also spanned several spin-offs including "Below Deck Mediterranean," "Below Deck Down Under," and "Below Deck Sailing Yacht." From multi-course meals adorned with flakes of gold to elaborate-themed parties where no request is too extreme, "Below Deck" delivers drama year after year. When they're not serving guests, many of these yachties are blowing off steam by hooking up with each other. No one knows it better than "BDSY" alumni Gary King, who has had his fair share of love affairs. We're taking a look at all the flings Gary King was involved in on "Below Deck Sailing Yacht."

While Gary King may have moved on from Sydney Zaruba early on after their hookup, she didn't take too kindly to their romance fizzling out. Zaruba made digs at Alli Dore throughout the season after King made it known he had feelings for the stewardess. Zaruba opened up about her actions on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen" saying, "All I know is things that happened in this season and things that I said were not indicative of who I am, and I'm very upset about the way that I portrayed myself because I was hurting and feeling rejected on national television."

Dore revealed during the reunion episode that Zaruba slept with King knowing that the bosun had a long-term girlfriend at home. King later admitted he was unfaithful to his ex-girlfriend and broke things off, saying, "I couldn't live with myself for knowing what I had done." The messy love triangle between King and the two yachties played out on television, and Zaruba's hurt feelings strained any hope for a friendship with Dore. "You've only cared about how you've looked on TV. You haven't, like, one-on-one, tried to contact me and say, 'I'm so sorry for the things that I said.' You really hurt my feelings. I'm just really emotional about it," Dore revealed on "WWHL." While Zaruba apologized to Dore during the reunion episode, she admitted she hadn't reached out sooner because she was still processing and self-reflecting.

Ashley Marti wasn't the only stewardess Gary King had his eye on in Season 3 of "Below Deck Sailing Yacht." Gabriela Barragan had her own flirtation with the bosun while onboard Parsifal III. Marti, who seemingly had more feelings for King than he had for her, was less than thrilled with her two co-workers getting cozy. In one clip, Marti confides in Barragan about her sexual frustrations onboard, when King interrupts the stewardesses' girl chat by flirting. Barragan tells the bosun, "We're all way out of your league," to which he replies, "I know you are, so don't kiss me again." King then goes on to admit that he had kissed all the women onboard, except for one female deckhand. In her confessional, Marti is put off by the situation, admitting, "This whole Gabriela-Gary situation is f***ing frustrating — like I could have f***ed Gary already."

With King in the middle of the stewardesses' love triangle, the shade-throwing between Marti and Barragan got even more tense as the charter season went on. King and Barragan's fleeting romance was ultimately cut short after the stewardess chose to leave mid-charter-season after struggling with her mental health. On "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen," Barragan admitted she was shocked to see Marti diss her behind her back when episodes aired. "I honestly did not know how much she hated me until I saw the episodes ... to my face she wasn't so nasty."

Ever since Gary King and Daisy Kelliher made their debut in Season 2 of "Below Deck Sailing Yacht," fans have pushed for them to be together. They've maintained a close friendship — that sometimes leads to drunken make-outs — throughout their time together on the series. Kelliher has always downplayed her relationship with King as platonic, even if Parsifal III's Captain Glenn Shephard doesn't agree. "I wasn't surprised at all," Captain Shephard said of their hot tub makeout during the reunion. "There's obviously something going on there."

Season 4 promises to shake things up between the two yachties. After Kelliher hooks up with King's best friend and Chief Engineer Colin Macrae, King is forced to re-evaluate his feelings for the chief stew. "I'd say to a certain extent I was a bit jealous," King told Us Weekly. "Daisy and I, we do have a connection regardless of whether she denies it or not," he added. "And I think anyone in this world will be a bit jealous if they see the person that they've got a connection with hooking up with someone else. I mean, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous."

As for Kelliher, she told Page Six, "Why did he care? He had three years to come and get me, and he never did, so like, f**k off." She went on to admit she felt it was King's hurt ego, and less of his hurt feelings, that caused his reaction to the hookup.
