Below Deck Down Under‘s Daisy Kelliher again João Franco keep getting close after sharing a kiss.
In Us WeeklyIn an exclusive clip from the Monday, March 23, episode of the Bravo series, Daisy asks João about his plans after the season.
“I might just go back home, to be honest. I split my time between Majorca and South Africa,” replied João, explaining how his future has changed since he separated from his ex-wife “in November of last year.”
Daisy asked João if the veteran was Spanish, João replied, “He’s German.” Then they laugh about João’s interest in a variety of women.
“It’s like going around the world. Have you ever dated an Irish girl?” he asks before João admits that he didn’t. The topic then changes to Daisy’s life as she explains that she has not had successful relationships due to her attractive “personality”.
“I like ad***head,” he quipped. “I like secure people. Someone who doesn’t find me difficult. Maybe it’s scary. Maybe that word, because it takes a long time to break down my walls – and whatever I do inside myself.”
Daisy concluded: “I’d like to meet someone, I’d like to have a family, but we’ll see.”
Before season 4 premiered, Daisy spoke to him Us about her spark with João.
“It was a boat job. It was a short thing that I felt like doing,” he said in January. “It’s like I’m kind of making it part of my personality. It’s a little bit new — I’m not sure when it happened. It was very low in the season and it wasn’t very deep. But it was a good time, and we were getting to know each other. It wouldn’t be a show if I wasn’t dating someone.”
Daisy also talked about working with him Ben Robinson after rumors spread about their on-screen feud.

“I went into this season taking no prisoners. I knew what I wanted. I didn’t want to be fooled, so I went in with that mindset,” he joked in November 2025. “Ben challenged me and he’s not easy to work with.”
Daisy still cherished her time with Ben, she told them Us that they finally found a good relationship.
“I think he also respected me. So I think I emerged as a stew artist and as a person – and it wasn’t easy. I don’t like to argue, but I need it. I was sure about what I wanted to achieve,” he said. “I was like, ‘I’m not going to let any member of the team get in the way of what I’m trying to do this season.’ We bump into each other, and it’s work [drama]. Now, I was drinking with him at the bar.”
Below Deck Down Under airs Mondays at 8 pm ET. New episodes are broadcast the next day on Pigogo.
