While shows like Outlast and Selling Sunset rule the “land” of reality shows, nothing could match Below Deck Mediterranean, when it came to the nautical zone. With nine seasons of luxury yachts and crew dynamics, the show has delivered unforgettable moments. However, it was the turbulent romance between Jessica More and Rob Westergaard during Season 5 that kept viewers on the edge of their seats.
Initially appearing as the third stewardess of the superyacht called The Wellington, Jessica More came across as a striking participant, since audiences found her difficulty in getting along with a few crew members, relatable. But, it was her romantic tension with deckhand Rob Westergaard that tuned up people’s interest in More. Unfortunately, her romance failed to find a happy ending after Below Deck Mediterranean Season 5.
Reality TV Star Jessica More Sailed into a Stormy Romance
When Jessica More joined the crew of The Wellington as the third stewardess in Below Deck Mediterranean Season 5, she quickly became a fan favorite. Her difficulty in blending in with the crew, struggling with her work in the laundry room, and her candid nature drew viewers in. Yet, it was her fiery connection with deckhand Rob Westergaard that truly stole the spotlight.
Jessica More and Rob Westergaard’s flirtatious banter and undeniable chemistry created a storyline as stormy as the Mediterranean waves themselves. The reality TV show’s fans were captivated as they watched their romance unfold against the backdrop of yacht life and high drama. But to audiences’ dismay, the duo seemingly struggled with their romance since the very beginning.
Despite forming an immediate connection, Jessica More and Rob Westergaard had a volatile affair, with an on-off relationship that created tension between them and caused friction among the crew. However, the duo managed to keep audiences hooked, as they planned a trip to Bali after the charter season ended. But surprisingly, despite having a great time together, More and Westergaard decided to end things.
Jessica More’s RelationSHIP Sunk After Below Deck Mediterranean Season 5
Despite the initial sparks and undeniable chemistry, Jessica More and Rob Westergaard’s love story didn’t sail smoothly into the sunset. The relationship, which had viewers eagerly anticipating every new episode, faced numerous hurdles both on and off the boat. After Season 5 ended, although the couple went on a trip, their romance sunk to the bottom of the sea and in the aftermath, things only got messier.
In terms of their relationship timeline, six months had passed when Jessica More and Rob Westergaard returned from their trip and decided to end things. And unfortunately, their picturesque romances quickly turned into a shipwreck following their break-up. In a candid interview with BravoTV, More reflected on her torn-down relationship and revealed how she and Westergaard didn’t end on the best terms.
It didn’t end on the best note, and we’re still not in the best place. [Rob was someone, I] really, truly cared about and loved and thought that [I] was gonna marry.
As their relationship ultimately capsized, leaving fans heartbroken, the pair’s post-show interactions revealed how they have been less than amicable. With both parties seemingly at odds, Jessica More noted that her romance, which once seemed like the promise of a fairy tale, turned into a cautionary tale of reality TV relationships. Despite finding Rob Westergaard trustworthy and willing to marry him, More’s romance turned into a disaster.
