Why Bri Muller and Joe Bradley Reunited in Miami After Below Deck Med Season 9 (PICS)
The Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 yachties recently reunited in Miami after leaving Mustique.
After leaving Mustique on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9, Joe Bradley and Bri Muller did not leave the ship together. The deckhand and steward remained friends, even though they shared a kiss during Season 9 Episode 12, and were in a bit of a love triangle with Bri's fellow stew, Elena "Ellie" Dubaich.
But they have still kept in touch, which has been evidenced by Joe's recent Instagram posts featuring Bri. Joe took to his Instagram feed and his Instagram Story this week, where he showed off photos from a recent trip to Miami. In the photo carousel, Joe can be seen showing off his chic Miami outfit, taking a mirror selfie with Bri, hanging out in a pool, exploring a museum, taking another mirror selfie with Bri, and walking along the streets of South Beach.
Bri took to her own Instagram Story this week, where she reposted a video that Joe took of her working out al fresco in Miami. She also chose to re-post the mirror selfie, taken in the museum, with just the song "In a Sentimental Mood" by Benny Goodman as the soundtrack.
It's unclear if Bri is just sentimental about this trip, or if she is feeling some type of way about reuniting with Joe. But, Bri took to her Instagram Story on Thursday, October 24 where she gave some context to their reunion.
"Strictly business-for anyone who wants to know," Bri wrote over a mirror selfie of her and Joe together.
What happened when Joe Bradley met up with Elena Dubaich after Below Deck Med Season 9
But Bri isn't the only person that Joe has met up with after Below Deck Med Season 9 aired. During an episode of the Below Deck Med After Show, Joe revealed that he and Ellie went on to meet up shortly after the yachting season ended.
"When he stayed at my place last time we spoke, he bought me flowers, he wrote a nice card," Ellie, who currently lives in Florida, recalled during the episode. "I was like, 'Oh my God, this is so sweet. This is cute.'"
But Joe denied a massage that Ellie offered to give him, which led to a fight. Plus, Ellie wasn't too happy with the fact that Joe had kept in touch with Bri. "When we did meet up with each other in Florida, [Ellie] was badmouthing Bri like she was a rat, like she was nothing on earth," he explained during the episode. "And I didn't like that."
Joe and Bri had met up with each other in Los Angeles after Below Deck Med Season 9, and did share a kiss, which also upset Ellie. "She's just not happy I'm still friends with Bri," Joe concluded.
Where Bri Muller and Elena Dubaich stand today
Although Ellie has gotten mad about Joe's friendship with Bri, she did tell The Daily Dish in September that she apologized to Bri during the season and they are now in a much better place. "Watching it back I realized that Joe actually was leading her on and it hadn't been her throwing herself at him as to compete with me," she explained. "If I had known that, I would have not reacted the way I did."
"Bri and I are open to catching up when she's back in town and mending fences," she concluded.
