There were some big developments in the romance department on the Below Deck Season 4 finale episode that aired on Tuesday night. Deckhand Kyle Dixon spontaneously got engaged to his girlfriend from back home, Ashley. For chef Ben Robinson, however, his romance with stewardess Emily Warburton-Adams hit a bit of a bump after Emily questioned whether he and chief stewardess Kate Chastain are truly “just friends.” Where do the couples stand now?
After the season finale episode aired, Ben and Emily did a Facebook Live video together, during which they talked about the episode and answered viewers’ questions. At one point, Emily read a viewer’s question asking them whether they have had any contact with Kyle and Ashley since filming ended. Emily said that they have been in contact with Kyle and have actually spent time with him in Florida recently.
“We have on and off. We’ve shared some lovely car journeys with Kyle. You probably saw some of our Facebook Lives. He is in L.A. at the moment I believe.”
Ben added that Kyle is all over the map. Ben continued to praise Kyle’s skills.
“Yeah we can’t keep track of Kyle. He could be in Saudi Arabia one minute, East Wales the next minute and then Baghdad five minutes later, and then L.A. But he’s an amazing guy. Let me tell you, you can land him in any place in the world, land or water for that matter, he speaks seven languages, he’s obviously highly intelligent, very adaptable…so yeah watch out for him if you ever cross paths because he will learn your language and probably rinse out your bank accounts at the same time.”
Yet notably, Ben and Emily didn’t mention Ashley at all.

As it turned out, Kyle and Ashley’s engagement didn’t last. About two weeks ago, after viewers saw Ashley make her first appearance on Below Deck , Kyle tweeted that he’s not in a relationship now .
I am not in relationship now!!!

Last week, Radar Online published an interview that it did with Kyle in which Kyle confirmed that he and Ashley broke up after filming ended and that he’s not seeing anyone at the moment.
“I’m just going with the flow. Not seeing anyone worth talking about.”
Yet Kyle did say that he’ll keep his promise to take care of Ashley after her gender reassignment surgery.
“We’re still on good terms of course. I promised her I’d stick by her. She’s signed off [on surgery], so I’m still gonna stick by her…She’s still waiting on the surgery and has no clue when it is.”
Why didn’t the engagement last? In another interview with Radar Online , Kyle revealed that he welcomed a second daughter , Willow, about 15 weeks ago with the mother of his first child, 3-year-old Florence. The website wrote that Ashley was upset by the development.
“Ashley was understandably upset, and finally ended their on-again-off-again-relationship.”
In Bravo’s “ Where is the crew now? ” blog post, posted after the season finale episode aired, Kyle, in response to the question of what he has been up to since filming for the season ended, said that he has been working in London.
“I have been working on London Docks as a deck/engineer.”
Kyle, who came on several episodes in after an original deckhand was fired, also said that the only regret he has from the season was not being on the show from the very beginning.
“My only regret was that I wasn’t there from the beginning.”
There was no mention of Ashley in the blog post.
While Kyle Dixon’s relationship with Ashley didn’t work out, Ben Robinson and Emily Warburton-Adams are still going strong. Emily has actually been staying with Ben in Florida for a while now and they have been doing Facebook Live videos together for the past few weeks. In their latest video, they revealed that the relationship is so serious that Emily has met Ben’s entire family now. Ben said that Emily fit in with his family “like a glove.”
Not only has Emily met Ben’s entire family, but she has also moved in with him. Ben admitted that he has updated his place now that Emily lives with him.
“I’m trying to build a little nest for us in Fort Lauderdale. We’ve updated some of the furniture. It was a little frathouse-y but we’re trying to go for a little bit more modern and chic rather than the shabby and not so chic and yeah it’s all good.”
Ben and Emily also said that they’re traveling a lot together doing public appearances and are trying to launch businesses, in the holistic health and nutrition fields, together.
As for whether Emily’s parents approve of Ben, Ben and Emily said that her parents have yet to meet Ben but are very eager to. Emily told Ben that her parents like him from what they have seen of him from Below Deck and their Facebook Live videos together.
“My mom thinks your the best thing since sliced bread. He [My dad] loves you as well. They speak very highly of him [Ben] over the phone.”
Unfortunately for Below Deck fans, they won’t be seeing Kyle Dixon speak out about Ashley, nor Ben Robinson and Emily Warburton-Adams as a loved-up couple, on a Season 4 reunion show. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Kate Chastain has confirmed that the cast has not, nor will they, film a Season 4 reunion show .
