Are Ben Willoughby and Sunny Marquis still together? 'Below Deck' star feels annoyed as bosun shows interest in new guests
GRENADA, CARIBBEAN: Throughout 'Below Deck' Season 11, Ben Willoughby and Sunny Marquis have experienced a multitude of highs and lows in their relationship.
During the most recent episode of 'Below Deck' Season 11, Ben Willoughby's flirtatious antics were in full swing as he set his sights on the attractive new female charter guests. This behavior did not sit well with Sunny Marquis, who was visibly irritated by Ben's actions throughout the episode.
Despite their boatmance hitting rough waters, Sunny has chosen to overlook Ben's indiscretions and forgive him. However, in a recent episode airing on May 13, Ben once again crossed boundaries by showing interest in new female charter guests, demonstrating that his unfaithful tendencies persist.
Deckhand Sunny and Bosun Ben forged a strong bond in 'Below Deck' Season 11. However, concerns have surfaced as Ben's behavior has become increasingly concerning throughout the charter season.
Despite Sunny being the primary target of Ben's flirtatious ways, other crew members, including stewardess Paris Field, have also observed his questionable interactions with female guests on the St David.
When the new guests made their way to the boat, Ben told deckhand Dylan Pierre De Villiers, “Pretty girls. We’re in a whole lot of sh*t.” The deckhands bantered and laughed amongst themselves as they prepared the boat to set sail from the dock, reminiscing about the incident that had occurred earlier.
Sunny's annoyance grew as she urged them to cease their actions, yet she attempted to reassure herself that she was unaffected by their behavior. Ben insisted that Sunny was not alright and suspected that she was hesitant to openly admit her distress to him.
“I’m definitely starting to see who Ben really is. However, there’s a lot of chemistry there. If I choose to ignore the red flags, that’ll be on me,” Sunny shared in a confessional.
Ben and Sunny have faced numerous challenges on 'Below Deck,' including the Bosun reconnecting with his former flame, Camille Lamb, and contemplating a reconciliation with her. Despite these obstacles, they have persevered through tough moments and continued to navigate the rough waters of their relationship on the show.
Even though he had reservations, he made it clear to Sunny that his feelings for her haven't changed and he is committed to continuing their romance aboard the boat for the remainder of the charter season.
Sunny and Ben have maintained a strong bond since wrapping up filming, suggesting that Sunny has developed a level of trust in him that goes beyond their professional relationship. This trust has allowed them to continue communicating and spending time together, and it seems like they have found their way to each other and are dating in real life.
'Below Deck' Season 11 star Ben Willoughby gives an update on Camille Lamb and Sunny Marquis
During a recent appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,' Ben was put in the hot seat and asked a variety of questions, forcing him to choose between two individuals, Camille and Sunny.
Ben had to decide who he had the most playful banter with, who was more likely to challenge authority and have a fiery temper, and who he enjoyed letting loose with on crew nights out. Ultimately, Ben chose Camille as his preferred companion in all three categories.
Ben selected Sunny as his preferred boatmance partner due to their strong bond with the crew, her exceptional work ethic, mesmerizing kissing skills, and her ability to make him feel weak in the knees. Furthermore, Ben disclosed that his communication with Sunny had been more recent compared to his interactions with Camille.
Why did Ben Willoughby and Camille Lamb split?
In the highly anticipated Season 11 premiere of 'Below Deck' that aired on February 5, viewers were finally given the inside scoop on what transpired between Ben and Camille once the cameras stopped rolling at the end of Season 10.
Ben opened up and revealed the details of their post-filming relationship, shedding light on the unresolved tension that had been lingering between them.
"Camille and I did meet up in the D.R., [the] Dominican Republic. We had an amazing week, honestly, it was great to see each other again," Ben revealed in a confessional. However, their relationship wasn't meant to last forever.
The bosun went on to say, "Long story short, she cheated on me. I definitely don't want to get as involved as I was last season. Maybe I'm wounded, yeah, maybe a little wiser. Jaded old man."
