On Below Deck season 1, Adrienne Gang made history as the first chief stew, and there's curiosity about her life after the show. She didn’t have the easiest time during her first and only season. Stewardess Samantha Orme didn’t take her job seriously and pushed back when Adrienne told her what to do. The stewardess got into hot water when she and second engineer C.J. LeBeau went swimming and drank beer during a charter, and Adrienne had to deal with the situation.

While Below Deck season 1 was Adrienne’s last stint on the show as chief stew, she returned in season 2 as a friend of the primary charter guest. The Ohana crew weren’t too happy to be waiting on their former chief stew, and second stew Kat Held tried to prevent her from coming aboard. Despite Adrienne and Kat’s rocky relationship, the chief stew invited Kat to work for her after her time on Below Deck ended. What has Adrienne been up to?

Adrienne found love with chiropractor Dr. Andrew Danks, and the two married in 2018 in a beachfront ceremony. While she hasn't posted any photos with him in a while, they are believed to still be together. In December 2021, Adrienne shared the sad news that she had a miscarriage. Many fans, including Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s Dani Soares, offered their heartfelt condolences to her and Andrew.

The yacht stays in contact with Below Deck star Chandler Brooks and Below Deck Mediterranean’s Jamie Jason, who both attended her wedding. Although she is no longer on the show, Adrienne talks about all things Below Deck on her podcast, Gangplank Report, which she hosts with her friend, Jennifer Bennington. The podcast, which started in 2021, provides recaps of Below Deck episodes and interviews with superfans.

Although Adrienne is most likely not going to be asked back to Below Deck, she is thriving in her life beyond the show. Her marriage with Andrew seems to be going strong, and she is a mom to her adorable fur baby, Buddy. Through her podcast Gangplank Report, she formed friendships with Below Deck alums, such as Gabriela Barragan and Jenna MacGillivray. Despite only being a Below Deck one-hit-wonder, Adrienne is a smart businesswoman who capitalizes on her time on the show.
