Captain Lee Rosbach, a former Below Deck co-star and friend, “I have no doubt she’s going to be a great mom.”
Kate Chastain, his former co-star and friend from Below Deck is expecting her first child in May, and Captain Lee Rosbach is “very happy” for her.
“I couldn’t be more elated for her,” the reality star, 73, said. “I doubt she’s going to be a great mom.”
Rosbach and Chastain, both 39, co-starred on the show for six seasons before Chastain left in February 2020. She has stated that she will be parenting this child, who is her first “solo.”
“She’s taken on a big challenge, but she’s more than up to it,” Rosbach says. “And I don’t think I’ve ever seen her this happy.”
Exclusively on December 13, PEOPLE broke the news of Chastain’s pregnancy. Due on May 8, 2023, Chastain said she had always dreamed of having a child of her own. “I am thrilled to become a mother,” the Traitors star shared. “It’s something I’ve always hoped for, so this is a dream come true!”

She visited Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen later that evening when she said she knew the baby’s s*x and had already chosen a name. Additionally, she made light of Rosbach, joking that she had made fun of him for babysitting after learning that he was leaving Below Deck after a ten-year stay.
So is Rosbach up for the task? “Well, I don’t do diapers,” he said. “I’ll do many things, but diapers aren’t one of them.”
Still, he says he and his wife, Mary Anne, plan on being there for Chastain whenever she needs. “Somebody on Twitter the other day said, ‘Oh, grandpa, Captain Grandpa,’ which I thought was a sweet thing,” he adds.

On Monday’s episode of the Bravo series Below Deck, Rosbach announced to his team that he would need to end season 10 early due to ongoing health difficulties.
“That’s something I’ve never done in my life,” he says, reflecting on his announcement. “I’ve never quit. I’ve never had to say I quit. And it was hard to admit, especially to myself, that something out there kicked my ass.”
He will return later in the season to complete the task he began following the Monday show. It remains to be seen if he will return for season 11 if there will even be one.
Rosbach responds, “Absolutely,” when asked if he’d return. Please stay connected with us on Leedaily.com for more latest updates.
