Below Deck Med Alum Jess More Is Expecting Her First Child

Jess More is going to be a mom! The Below Deck Mediterranean alum is expecting her first child.

Jess, who served as a stew in Season 5 of Below Deck Med, shared the happy news in a post on Instagram on July 25. The post, which was tagged in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, featured a collection of three photos of the mom-to-be looking gorgeous while proudly showing off her baby bump in a crochet bikini and standing in front of a swimming pool.

Opening up more about her pregnancy in the caption of the Instagram post, Jess confirmed that she is expecting a baby girl. “I’ve been waiting a long time to be your mommy, Charli,” she wrote. “So blessed and excited for this next chapter with my little princess.”

Jess received an outpouring of support and congratulations on her pregnancy announcement, including from Below Deck Med Season 5 crewmates Tom Checketts, Hindrigo “Kiko” Lorran, Alex Radcliffe, and Hannah Ferrier, in addition to well wishes from yachties across several Below Deck series and seasons, such as Ciara Duggan, Jenna MacGillivray, Elizabeth Frankini, Colin Macy-O’Toole, Alli Dore, Ashling Lorger, Anastasia Surmava, Ashley Marti, Mzi “Zee” Dempers, Kate Chastain, Courtney Veale, and Tiffany Copeland.

In Below Deck Med Season 5, Jess received high praise for her work as third stew from Bugsy Drake and Captain Sandy Yawn. Romance also memorably bloomed for Jess and deckhand Rob Westergaard during that season of Below Deck Med. After experiencing some ups and downs, Jess and Rob went on their much-talked-about trip to Bali after the charter season ended. However, they later decided to call it quits.

After appearing on Below Deck Med, Jess continued to work in yachting, even hitting her goal of becoming a chief stew. She has also run into fellow Below Deck alums at work and in her travels.
