Fan favorite Aesha Scott, one of the central stars of Bravo’s hit reality show “Below Deck Mediterranean,” has spoken about her future plans and when she might leave the franchise. Speaking in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Scott gave details about what the next few years might hold for her outside of the popular series.
Aesha Talks Future Plans Beyond ‘Below Deck’
GettyWhile promoting the latest series of “Below Deck Mediterranean” and its upcoming premiere with The Hollywood Reporter, Aesha was asked about her plans moving forward as she approaches her wedding date. The reality star replied, “Well, I always say never say never with the NBC world.”
“Because what I love about NBC and Bravo, is they always do find a way to keep you in their family.”
While giving no firm details about the possibility of when she might leave, Aesha did discuss the fact that she wants to start a family and this will be a major factor in deciding her exit from the “Below Deck” franchise.
“I never like to fully close the door, but at some point down the line, I definitely do want to have some babies of my own. So it just depends when we make the decision to do that,” she explained.
Aesha announced a surprise engagement to Scott Dobson back in May 2024, taking to her Instagram account to reveal the news and share her reaction to the proposal. The pair had been dating for some four years before the engagement and Aesha was shocked to discover her now fiancé had planned a secret proposal.
The couple are planning a wedding for early 2026, with Aesha explaining on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” that they chose to push it back from 2025 to give them more time for planning.
Aesha’s ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ Season 10 Return
Aesha has been a mainstay of several “Below Deck” spin-offs in recent times, having first appeared on the fourth season of “Below Deck Mediterranean” as second steward. She subsequently had a stint on the first two seasons of “Below Deck Down Under” as chief steward and returned to “Below Deck Mediterranean” as chief steward from season 9.
A sneak peek of the upcoming 10th season premiere gave a clue to what viewers can expect to see from Aesha and the rest of the crew. Alongside Captain Sandy Yawn, Aesha will be part of a team sailing around Spain as she deals with two inexperienced recruits as her second and third stewards in the form of Kizzi Kitchener and Victoria “V” SanJuan.
This group will also be joined by familiar faces such as deckhand Gael Cameron and newly promoted bosun Nathan Gallagher. French deckhand Max Salvador also returns, while the crew is rounded out with chef Josh Bingham.
