Kelliher went on to reveal that she and Allen never really made things official, calling their romance “a situationship.”

They never discussed moving for each other, Kelliher added, noting that he went on to work on more boats in the Caribbean while she ended her career in the region and relocated to London. “Unless he was moving over to Europe, it was never really going to to work,” she said.

She also explained that she never really expected they would take their romance to shore until they did, explaining that her interest in Allen only grew “as we got to know each other.”

In the season 5 finale, Kelliher and Allen both opened up about their feelings for one another.

“When I’m working, I’m like in a work zone, and if there’s any kind of romance, it just gets messy. But I kind of realized that Daisy and I see the world almost through a similar lens,” added Allen, in his own confessional. “And for me, when you build a connection with someone, that makes it 100 percent worth it. Daisy is someone that I’m going to be in touch with for a long time, I hope.”
