“Below Deck Sailing Yacht” star Alli Dore is expecting her first child with boyfriend Benny Thompson.
“So excited for this new adventure with you and our little ocean baby @bennithompson xx,” the pregnant reality star captioned a collection of baby bump photos Monday, while he wrote on Instagram, “So proud of you, you’re going to be the most amazing mumma.”
In recent days, Dore called Thompson, a former pal of 12 years, “the love of my life” while talking to fans in an Instagram question-and-answer session (via Bravo).
We’re currently moving into our new house together,” she said last week. “We’re both so excited! He’s got a heart of gold and treats me like a precious jewel[.] I’m really lucky.”
Some of Dore’s co-stars, including Dani Soares — who is a new mom to a baby girl — and chef Natasha De Bourg shared congratulatory messages on their friend’s pregnancy announcement.
“My heart is filled with joy knowing that you deserve nothing but the greatest of love,” De Bourg wrote. “That tiny little bud will have the most amazing mom on the world so full of life and love …”
Clearly excited for future playdates, Soares commented, “YYAAAYYY CONGRATULATIONS…Lilly can’t wait to meet her new friend You 2 are gonna be amazing parents cause you are 2 amazing humans .”
Soares, 33, announced her pregnancy in April and gave birth to her daughter in May. While it is unclear who the little girl’s father is, “Below Deck” star Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux recently addressed speculation that he’s the dad.
“There’s a lot of gossip about my social media silence so I think it’s time to clear the air,” the deckhand wrote via Instagram. “While others are off chasing their 15 minutes of fame, I am working on a yacht in Central America. I am heartbroken to have to hear about the baby’s birth on social media and read headlines, like, ‘Dani Soares Says Her Baby’s Father Doesn’t Want Anything to Do With It.’ All I can say is if it’s mine, I want to be involved 100%.”
He continued, “As someone who grew up with parents who weren’t together, I wouldn’t wish that on any child. Not looking for a pity party. Just want everyone to know how strongly I feel about this, especially the haters who are so sure I am neglecting my responsibility. No one wants to know more than me if this is my baby girl!”
In response to his post, Dore stuck up for her pal and commented, “No one is stopping you from getting a paternity test.”
