Kate Chastain was the former chief steward of Below Deck, with fans wondering more about her in recent years. Kate was known as the no-nonsense head of interior with a wicked sense of humor. Now, as she gets ready for a brand-new adventure, fans are curious about what Kate is doing since she left her career as a reality TV yachtie.
Kate, who some Below Deck fans can't stand, made her way onto Below Deck season 2 and paved the way for the rest of the franchises. While most chief stews can be serious, Kate found ways to joke around, including pulling a prank on a charter guest that included phallic placement of towels. Throughout her years, She had a few made-for-TV moments that classified her as the GOAT of Below Deck. Kate has consistently made sure she is known as the boss, and nothing has changed that title.
Kate Chastain's Age
Kate is 39 years old and was born in Melbourne Beach, Florida. Her birthday is January 2, 1983, making her a Capricorn. No wonder Kate, who fans called a bad chief stew, decided to join the yachting industry; Florida is known for being the "it" place to learn and train when becoming a stew or deckhand. However, in 2020, Kate announced to Below Deck fans that she would be walking away from the franchise after six seasons. Kate realized she had outgrown the show and was ready to move on.
Kate Chastain's Career & Other Life-Changing News
Bravo fans can still catch Kate on their screens as she is currently on Below Deck Galley Talk. The series allows her to share her opinions on all the Below Deck gossip and episodes. Kate also recently confirmed she is participating in the new Peacock series, The Traitors, which will air in January. The premise of the show is to pass challenges to win a big cash prize, but the catch is three traitors are trying to deter the contestants. While Kate's life and career outside of Below Deck have been going great, she is ready to take on her next challenge: becoming a mom. On Instagram, Kate revealed that she is expecting her first child and is due in May 2023. "I’m already planning so many birthday theme parties for you," Kate wrote in the caption.
While she's had an amazing life and career as a single woman without many responsibilities, Kate's ready for her new adventure into parenthood. Below Deck fans were hoping for Kate to return one day, but it looks like she will be stepping back from reality TV for the time being. At least fans still have Below Deck Galley Talk and The Traitors to look forward to.
Below Deck airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
