Fraser Olender, a star of Bravo's "Below Deck," has opened up about a brief reconciliation with comedian Matt Rogers following the filming of "Below Deck Season 13." The two had initially split in July, but Olender revealed to Page Six's "Virtual Reali-Tea" that they experienced a "blissful rekindling" after wrapping up filming in Thailand.
Olender, 33, and Rogers, 36, began their relationship in August 2025 and attended BravoCon together a few months later. Rogers previously supported Olender during a hospitalization in December 2025 for a vaping-induced heart attack. However, while filming the latest "Below Deck" season, Olender confirmed their relationship was on "pause."
During the season premiere, Olender humorously stated his availability for "cute little kisses" but emphasized his commitment to his job. He also teased a potential romantic encounter with deckhand James Bishop in an upcoming episode.
Despite the brief reunion after filming, Olender explained that long distance and his demanding yachting career ultimately led to their final separation in July. He noted that maintaining a relationship while working on a yacht requires a specific kind of commitment and person.
However, Olender stressed that he and Rogers remain on very good terms. "We still support each other. We adore each other, and I’m seeing him tomorrow," he told Page Six. The "Below Deck" series airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo, with new episodes available on Peacock the following day.
