Below Deck Mediterranean’s Chef Dave White Is Married and Expecting 1st Baby With Wife Holly

Below Deck Mediterranean‘s Chef Dave White isn’t just a married man now — he is also about to become a dad.

White took to Instagram on Thursday, December 26, to share a photo of him and wife Holly, which he captioned, “Merry Christmas everyone, love from the 3 of us ❤️.” In the snap, the former reality star was wearing a shirt that read “Daddy’s little sous chef” while his partner showed off her baby bump and a mini chef’s jacket for their little one.

The exciting news came one week after White announced that he and Holly tied the knot.

“Mr and Mrs White ❤️,” he wrote alongside a photo slide from the special day. White received an outpouring of support from fellow Below Deck stars.

Captain Sandy Yawn wished her “congratulations” while Aesha Scott replied, “Yesssssssss darl 😍😍😍😍 So happy for you!!!!”

Meanwhile, Alex Radcliffe responded with fire emojis as Daisy Kelliher sent her own well wishes in the comments section.

Bravo fans became very familiar with White when he joined season 7 of Below Deck Mediterranean. After sparking romance rumors with chief stew Natasha Webb, the couple confirmed that they hooked up before reuniting on screen — despite initially pretending they weren’t close.

As the season went on, Webb ultimately didn’t want to continue their relationship. She instead reconnected with her ex, which caused White to become increasingly frustrated and consistently rage-texted her throughout the season. During a crew night out, Webb even ended up hiding in a primary bedroom because of White’s concerning messages.

“I didn’t want everyone to judge us on the situation. It was just unfortunate,” Webb told E! News in August 2022 about originally keeping her past with White a secret. “Because I didn’t want everyone to know, everything was done through text message, which is what the viewers don’t get to see. Dave’s more open and speaks about it so you get to see his side a little more, which is where judgment can come in from people.”

Webb admitted she had regrets about how she handled the situation.

“Looking back, it was the wrong thing to do,” she said. “I should have been more open and honest. It’s just because of the way things came about on my last boat. I just thought it was a messy situation that a lot of people can judge people. We all make mistakes in life. And unfortunately, that was just one of those things that I had to get through.”

That same month, Webb called White’s actions “toxic” during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. White, meanwhile, said he was “absolutely gutted” watching back his behavior.

“What I did and what I said were completely out of line. No matter how much I felt ill-treated, I should have never sent her what I did,” he told Decider at the time. “I’m absolutely gutted by my behavior and wish I could take it back. Even though I was super upset, there’s no excuse for what I did. I feel like I need to apologize to everyone because the way I reacted was disgusting.”

He continued: “To be honest, I can’t watch the episode. I don’t know how I came across. I obviously know what happened, but I don’t know. Do I deserve a second chance? I was out of order and it was the second time I slipped up…. However, in the galley, I put in a hundred and ten percent. I respect all the crew, and I am a good crew member. People do deserve second chances, but I feel like that might have been my third.”
