After Captain Glenn Shephard from Below Deck Sailing Yacht broke the Internet, teasing that he and deckhand Sydney Zaruba were dating, Zaruba opened about who she is really dating, sharing that he is a very private person.
“No [Captain Glenn Shephard] and I are not a couple,” she shared in her Instagram story. “Though any lady would be lucky to have him! Sorry for trolling you guys it was too good to pass up.” She added, “My partner is very private, doesn’t like the limelight so to respect his privacy I won’t share any photos of him, but he did take this photo though. He’s very sweet and I am very lucky to have such a great person in my life.”
