Understanding the Love Triangle Among Below Deck’s Kizzi, Joe, and Victoria After Infidelity
Below Deck Mediterranean‘s Joe Bradley has found himself embroiled in love triangles before, but his kiss with Kizzi Kitchener while involved with Victoria SanJuan has taken things to a new level of complexity.
Joe and Victoria initially connected when he joined midway through season 10, as she was still grieving the loss of her ex-boyfriend, Bon. As their bond deepened on screen, Joe confirmed to Us Weekly that he was single during the filming of the popular Bravo show.
Things took a twist when Victoria left for a charter on the anniversary of her ex’s death, and Joe secretly kissed Kizzi. They kept this from Victoria until her return, which changed the dynamics significantly. Although Victoria remained with Joe for a short time, she ultimately chose to end the relationship.
“Joe and I will always be cordial and professional, but I don’t consider him part of my friend circle,” Victoria shared with Us in December 2025. “The men I surround myself with are honest, self-controlled, accountable, and respectful — those are the qualities I admire.”
Following his breakup with Victoria, Joe was free to openly flirt with Kizzi. Keep reading for all the details leading up to the conclusion of this love triangle:
The Key Players
Before rejoining Below Deck Med for season 10, Joe made his entrance and found himself tangled in a love triangle with Bri Muller and Elena Dubaich.
“I’m single and open to some fun, but it does get chaotic,” Joe told Us exclusively in November 2025 about his return to the franchise. “At the end of the day, I’m friends with Elena and Bri and still keep in touch.”
He added, “We’re friends, young, and in a confined space. It’s bound to happen. No harmful intentions from my side.”
Joe humorously mentioned he learned “absolutely nothing” from his experiences with Bri and Elena, claiming, “To answer that question seriously, [my love life this season] was just chaotic.”
The Gist
Intrigued by both Kizzi and Victoria when he became a deckhand on Bravado, Joe initially chose to pursue Victoria. However, when she took a break from the boat, Joe and Kizzi kissed, hoping to keep it under wraps.
Upon Victoria’s return, Joe confessed, and despite the incident, they continued dating. Yet just a day later, Victoria changed her mind, leading to Joe and Kizzi flirting again right in front of her.
“I wish him the best,” Victoria remarked to Us about their separation. “He’s a wonderful person, but he has a lot to learn from his mistakes — assuming he wants to.”
What Has Been Said
Kizzi addressed her regrets from filming season 10 in a conversation with Us, noting in October 2025, “In the heat of the moment, you really forget there’s a camera crew, especially after a drink with your friends. Without cameras, I can’t imagine what else is said.”
She added, “I could tone it down in certain moments, but I also want to stay true to myself. Real-life situations like this happen, and it doesn’t define you as a bad person. … Watching it back, I regret sharing so much with people who didn’t consider the context.”
What’s Next
With three episodes remaining in season 10, Kizzi and Joe may further explore their chemistry before departing the Bravado. Off camera, both Joe and Victoria appear to be single, while Kizzi is engaged to Tom Whiteley, whom she originally broke up with during the filming of Below Deck before reconciling.
