Below Deck Down Under Season 3 has officially wrapped. Within this season, yachties Harry van Vliet and Brianna Duffield carried a sweet boatmance. Although they often struggled to define their romance as the season aired. Nevertheless, their crew loved this pairing, joking about the baby giraffes these two might one day have.
Harry desired to take things slowly. Oftentimes, Bri took his sluggish steps as signs that they were not on the same page. Then, as BDDU Season 3 came to a close, we saw Bri questioning whether she was even ready for a serious new relationship. Her last stab at love included a failed engagement, so we could understand her reluctance to engage in another hot and heavy pairing so soon after. So, where do Harry and Bri now stand post-filming?
Harry van Vliet and Brianna Duffield became official on Below Deck Down Under
When fans met Harry during BDDU Season 2, his game with the ladies was weak. Sorry, Harry, we know you read our page, so please know that we still love you. But, in between filming for Seasons 2 and 3, something seemingly clicked within this man. His game improved, which saw him scoring an actual model via Bri during his second showing on Bravo.
When Harry worked up the courage to ask Bri out on their first date, the entire yacht stood behind him, supportive of this pairing. Captain Jason Chambers even lent Harry his wardrobe, making us all squeal over their sweet-natured friendship. But as this season rolled along, Bri often questioned where she stood with Harry. Harry, for his part, was trying to take things slowly, as he learned in Season 2 that the fast and furious game does not always work with the ladies.
Following many episodes of back-and-forth conversations, both with each other and with their fellow crew members, Harry and Bri made things official towards the end of BDDU Season 3. In the final episode, these two lovers even squealed, labeling each other as boyfriend and girlfriend.

After making things official, Harry and Bri began sorting out their post-season travel plans. Harry envisioned that their journey might include a stay in a hostel, which Bri side-eyed. “I stayed in a hostel. Once. It was a communal bathroom. Never again,” Bri explained, quickly shooting this idea down in her confessional.
But on the subject matter of their shared trip, Bri remained all in. Therefore, Harry and Bri left the yacht together as a couple, with Bri exclaiming, “Now we get to celebrate. All over the world for the next year.”
Harry was also excited. “I have not felt this way about a girl for a long, long, long time,” he confessed during their final episode. “We’ve had so many great memories, and we’re just going to make more. I don’t think I’ve ever maybe felt this excited before in my life,” Harry added.
Cue their shared disembarkation time slot from the superyacht Katina. With faces bearing huge, excited smiles, Harry and Bri headed out onto dry land to finally partake in their cross-country adventures. But are they still walking hand in hand now that their cameras have gone dark on BDDU?
Are Below Deck Down Under’s Harry van Vliet and Brianna Duffield still together?
BDDU Season 3 is not getting a reunion, sadly. However, Harry recently spoke with Bravo’s The Daily Dish. He and Bri are no longer together, he revealed.
“Bri and I went our separate ways a few months after filming ended,” Harry confirmed. “We traveled a bit, but then we had a difficult time with the long-distance relationship,” he explained. Thankfully, “We are still friends and in contact to this day,” Harry added.
As for Bri, she also clarified this matter, saying, “After traveling the world together, Harry and I remain great friends. We keep in contact, and he gives me great travel recommendations.” Hopefully, his helpful tips contain zero hostels.
Before we learned of their fate, Bri appeared on Watch What Happens Live, answering questions that pointed to her eventually faded fling. While playing several rounds of a game designed by Andy Cohen (and his team), Bri noted that between the pair, Harry was more afraid of commitment. Likewise, Bri revealed that she felt stronger feelings for Harry than he might have felt for her. On cue, Andy sadly sighed.
You had one shot, Harry. Regardless, fans love that Harry and Bri are still friends.
Below Deck Down Under is streaming on Peacock. BDDU also streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
