PHOTOS'Below Deck Mediterranean' Star Captain Sandy Reveals She's Dating Gospel Singer Leah Shafer
Below Deck Mediterranean star Captain Sandy Yawn is making her love public! On Tuesday, May 28, the reality star confirmed she was dating skin esthetician and gospel singer Leah Shafer.
During a interview with The Cheat Sheet, Sandy, 54, spoke candidly about their romance and revealed who made the first move.
“She sent me a nice message that said, ‘I came across your show, congratulations, many blessings,'” Sandy recalled. She also explained that she found Leah’s “many blessings” wish especially touching.
After a few months of chatting online, the two met each other face to face in November 2018 and the attraction became even stronger. “It was definitely unexpected," Leah, 45, said. “It just happened, when you meet another soul that you connect with at such a deep level, it is unexplainable and so beautiful.”
“It was like a spiritual connection in the beginning,” she continued. “Sandy has a passion for inspiring through music and the youth. And broken people and so do I coming from the gospel industry. That’s what brought us together.”
