• Ben's time on Below Deck was a highlight of his career, but he has moved forward with Kiara, focusing on their relationship.
• Despite starting dating just before the pandemic, Ben and Kiara have spent over four years together, with only 20 days apart.

Below Deck star Chef Ben Robinson and Kiara Cabral have been together for years, and it's time to explore their relationship. Ben has been a huge part of one of the best reality TV shows, having starred on both Below Deck and Below Deck Mediterranean in the past. 

While Ben took some time away from Below Deck, he has always been a part of the franchise, whether it's been from his appearances on the series or his Galley Talk commentary with fellow former cast members like Kate Chastain. With Ben and Kiara's relationship documented over the years, it's time to catch up with them even if they won't appear on Below Deck season 11.

Ben and Kiara's relationship has been something that both of them have taken very seriously throughout, making it clear from the beginning that it wasn't just another fling for the chef. Though Ben's time on Below Deck was never completely about his boatmances, he did have his fair share of flings throughout his charter seasons. With his time as the executive chef on Below Deck likely behind him, Ben has made it clear that his time on the series was a highlight of his career, but he seems excited to move forward with Kiara.

Ben & Kiara Met Over Seven Years Ago

Although they've known each other for years, Ben and Kiara didn't start their romantic relationship right away. The pair first met over seven years ago through some mutual friends, where they seemed to hit it off quickly. According to US Weekly, Ben shared that though they may have liked each other when they first met, "the stars had not quite aligned for us back then." Though they connected, Kiara and Ben ultimately didn't start a romantic relationship until years later.

Ben and Kiara's relationship truly began in early 2020, prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pair had just started dating when the world was called to shelter in place, and Ben explained, "We actually started dating just before the pandemic, and she moved in with me.

 We started living and working together. We were absolutely inseparable, and it felt right." According to the Below Deck chef, he and Kiara have been together for over four years and have spent only 20 days apart from one another. While some couples would have difficulty with so much togetherness, it seems to work well for Ben and Kiara's lifestyle.
