Joe Bradley Makes a Big Clarification About His Romance With Victoria “V” SanJuan

Joe Bradley is making a major clarification about his relationship with Victoria “V” SanJuan. Throughout Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10, the two deckhands got very cozy with one another during their time on M/Y Bravado, which got a little complicated when Joe kissed stew, Kizzi Kitchener, while V was off board recovering from an illness.

Joe took to his Instagram Story earlier this week, where he opened up about his relationship with V during an Instagram Q&A. He clarified things when one Instagram follower asked him why he had told V he would introduce her to his mom when he “didn’t mean it.” But Joe admitted that he wanted to introduce her to his mom because they live so close to each other.

“See, on a geographical point of view, Victoria was in Spain doing I don’t know, God knows what. And yeah. She was 30 kilometers south of where I live. So why wouldn’t I?” he admitted. “I would introduce her to my mates to this day, I would introduce her to my mum to this day. She’s a lovely girl. Got not one bad thing to say about her.”

V SanJuan shares new insight into Joe Bradley and Kizzi Kitchener’s kiss

V took to her Instagram Story following the airing of Below Deck Med Season 10, Episode 14, where she shared some insight into her return on deck and finding out about the kiss. During the Instagram Q&A, one Instagram user asked V if she could “feel something happened without yet knowing,” to which she replied, “absolutely.”

“I’d consider myself pretty socially aware,” she admitted. “I pay careful attention to body language, facial expression, and tone. I felt it as soon as I walked on board. It was a complete energy shift. Especially to how the rest of the crew didn’t know what to say when I asked how the charter was or what I missed.”

But, with that being said, V admitted that she was happy that Joe didn’t tell her about the kiss until after she returned and had dinner with the rest of the crew. “Before dinner would have been so awkward,” V wrote on her Instagram Story. “As you can tell from the episode, the energy was already awkward, everyone knowing something, and you’re on the blindside is a really weird position.”

She continued, admitting that she doesn’t regret how Joe approached the situation. “Everything happens for a reason,” she added.

“I am not that man right now,” he said. “With that said, that is a time stamp on this. I mean, I am mature and stuff like that, but I don’t know if I’m ready for a relationship. I am mature, I am gonna get there. I don’t want a relationship. And I said this, and I was very — like I said, I don’t want anything.”
