What Happened To Deckhand Connie Arias After Season 3

Connie Arias appeared on Below Deck season 3 as a deckhand, and she seems to still work in the industry to this day. During her time on the hit Bravo series, Connie developed close relationships with all of her crewmates. Not only was she close with her exterior team, but also with the interior team. Connie didn't gravitate toward one group of people in the group and mainly stayed natural throughout the season.

Connie, who was close with Below Deck season 8 bosun Eddie Lucas, was known for her hilarious antics throughout her time on the show. During one of her infamous confessionals, Connie admitted that she enjoyed showing some skin, which promoted her to take her clothes off quite a few times throughout that season. In fact, Connie would often cover herself with nothing but whipped cream. Viewers found that Connie offered most of the comic relief throughout her season and is still missed from the series after all these years.

After departing the Eros yacht after Below Deck season 3, Connie returned to her home in Melbourne Beach, Florida, where she began her own boat management company (via Bravo). Since then, however, it's unclear if she still owns the company. Connie, who worked with Below Deck star Captain Lee Rosbach, still seems to work on boats. Alas, it's unclear if the boats she works on are yachts. According to her Instagram, Connie has been doing a lot of fishing for the past few years. Recently, the former reality star shared a couple of snaps of her holding a medium-sized red-ish fish and two giant lobsters. Last month, Connie was actually in the Bahamas, where she caught several interesting sea creatures.

Besides her career moving in the right direction, Connie has also found love after appearing on Below Deck. According to Bravo, Connie announced she was engaged in 2020. The deckhand became engaged shortly after her time on the show, with the exact date being May 21, 2017. Interestingly enough, Connie is still close with Kate Chastain, who exited Below Deck season 7. Regarding her engagement, Connie shared the exciting news via Instagram. Even though she didn't have a ring at that time, Connie is clearly seen wearing one in recent posts.

Connie also shared a photo with Scott a month ago. The pair posed with a giant lobster that Connie had caught, validating that they are still together. As for when they plan to tie the knot, they appear to be taking their time with the process. Nonetheless, Connie would love for Captain Lee to officiate the wedding whenever that day comes. Connie and Captain Lee have stayed in touch since doing Below Deck together. In regards to Connie's close friendship with former chief stew Kate, who would return for more money, the two of them appeared together on the Below Deck aftershow, Galley Talk.

Now that it's been almost six years since Connie appeared on Below Deck, there is a chance she might return. Her life appears to be completely fulfilled personally and professionally, so she might be looking for a new adventure. Maybe fans will see a return from Connie during season 10.
