Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Captain Glenn Confirms He Is (or Isn’t?) Dating Sydney Zaruba (Exclusive)
Captain Glenn Shephard from Below Deck Sailing Yacht recently revealed (maybe) that he is dating deckhand Sydney Zaruba after she shared she had a special “captain” in her life during the reunion. But shortly after he posted the “news” he added, “And the news is: Syd and I are great friends. And she’s dating a captain. A different Captain.”
Shephard stirred the pot about whether or not he and Zaruba were a couple. A photo Zaruba shared on Instagram and her remarks during the reunion heightened fans’ suspicions. Shephard also said he wasn’t married, but wasn’t celibate either. Zaruba talked about having a partner and only revealed he was a captain. But Shephard replied to a previous comment about Zaruba, “I love Sydney, just like a little sister.” He also replied “no” to a question asking if they were dating. While Shephard may have stirred the pot, a Below Deck source insists they truly are dating.
