Chef Ben Robinson shares new details on canceled engagement

miere (airing Monday, Feb. 2), Chef Ben Robinson opens up about his recent breakup with his fiancée, Kiara. He reveals that after spending $50,000 on a wedding he didn’t attend, he’s back to focusing on his passion for cooking on yachts.

The crew of M/Y Katina, now docked in the Caribbean island of Canouan, welcomes Chef Ben back to the galley. In a confessional interview, he shares that the end of his engagement came as a shock, but returning to yachting feels like coming back home.

Ben had announced his split from Kiara in September 2024, a year and four months after their engagement. In an Instagram post, he expressed that parting ways was the best decision for both of them. He looks forward to reigniting his culinary flair while on board the Katina.

As the Season 4 trailer hints at a potential romance for Chef Ben, tensions between him and Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, and Second Officer João Franco, are expected to rise. Clash of egos and long-standing friendships will be put to the test, making for an exciting season ahead.
