Aesha & Scotty's Relationship Timeline Explained

Aesha & Scotty Put Down Roots In New Zealand

Aesha and Scotty have been together for over four years. While Aesha kept quiet about her personal life in her earlier seasons of Below Deck, as her relationship with Scotty grew to be more serious, she opened up more about her loving partner. “The biggest thing is just trust. I don’t see any point in being in a relationship if you don’t trust that person. I think Scott and I spent time together and time apart on and off since our relationship started,” she explained. She shared that her time with Scotty is more valuable because there’s less of it.

In recent years, Aesha and Scotty have become more serious in their relationship, with their first big milestone happening just months before the proposal. The couple, who had been living in different rental properties and, for a time, an ambulance that was converted into a living space, decided to take the next step in their relationship and put down roots. Aesha and Scotty purchased a home in New Zealand in 2023, sharing that they were happy to be able to have a place to call their own. After years of working on their relationship, things have started to settle down.

While Aesha is going to be a major part of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9, her time on the series rarely impacts her relationship with Scotty. She’s always quick to mention him in ing, sharing stories and relating the drama of the Mustique back to her real life at home. Still, Aesha’s major news with Scotty is a sweet reminder that her life back home is ready and waiting for her after a charter season. As Below Deck Mediterranean gets ready to set sail again, Aesha and Scotty are prepared to weather any storm together.

Below Deck Mediterranean premieres June 3 at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
