“Below Deck Mediterranean” star Nathan Gallagher opened up about an “unexpected death” of a “loved one,” according to E! News.
The deckhand’s revelation came during the September episode of the Bravo series, the publication reported, adding that he was “in tears” as he discussed the death.
Gallagher told castmates that “one of his best friends died while he was away at sea—and he was understandably devastated.”
“So, I get this text saying that my friend has passed away from cancer,” he said on the show, according to E! News. “I knew he had cancer, but the night before I came to join the boat, we were out drinking. He wasn’t drinking but he seemed okay. Thinking about the memories and things like that, it’s a lot of information to gather at once and I’m just pushing that aside for now.”
Nathan Gallagher Revealed That He Is ‘Really Struggling’ to Cope With the Death
Gallagher opened up even more about the death.
“I don’t know why I’m so sensitive but I’m so sad,” he told Gael while crying, according to E! News. “Who cares if you’re sensitive, man? You’re going through (expletive). It’s okay. You’re allowed to be sad sometimes,” she responded the site reports.
“It’s really (expletive) hard though. I’m really struggling to cope with it,” Gallagher revealed, according to E! News.
“My mom was going through tests for cancer recently. She’s been cleared now, thankfully. I found out through my sister. My mom didn’t tell me directly. Grief and things like this isn’t something we talk about. I definitely tend to push people away. I’m doing what my mom does,” he said on the show, E! News reported.
Gallagher’s friend’s name was not given.
