Below Deck Star Kyle Stillie Sobers Up After Controversial Hookup Claim

In November 2025, Captain Kerry Titheradge provided an update on Below Deck star Kyle Stillie during an exclusive interview at BravoCon in Las Vegas. Titheradge revealed that Kyle has taken a break from drinking and has been sober for the past year.

The captain praised Kyle for this significant life change, saying, "He's sober now. He's been [sober] for a year." Titheradge also shared his perspective on the drama that unfolded during Kyle's time on the show, stating that the crew member's claim about hooking up with a charter guest was not true.

"He's mischievous and he likes to tell stories. The whole thing about the guest wasn't true," Titheradge explained. The captain's comments suggest that Kyle's behavior and the resulting investigation had a profound impact on him, leading to his decision to address his drinking habits.

Despite enjoying his time in the yachting industry, Kyle acknowledged that the nature of the business often involves a lot of drinking and partying. However, he said the experience has made him more aware of his daily actions and how he treats his body, rather than necessarily indicating a problem with alcohol.

As Below Deck prepares for its 13th season, fans can expect to see the continued growth and development of the crew, including the possibility of Fraser Olender's return, whom Titheradge praised for his positive growth under the captain's leadership.
