Andy Cohen sent a generous gift to “Below Deck Mediterranean” star Captain Sandy Yawn after being unable to attend her wedding, expressing his support and maintaining their friendship.
Andy Cohen missed Captain Sandy Yawn’s wedding. But, oh boy, did he make up for it with a gift that’s got everyone talking. "He was super generous," Sandy spilled the tea to Us Weekly. She was kinda hoping he’d make it, ya know? Said he wanted the invite and all.
But hey, life’s busy, and Andy couldn’t swing it. Still, his gift? Top-notch. And that message he sent? Sweet as can be. Leah, Sandy’s other half, thinks the world of Andy. Calls him "so supportive." It’s kinda cute how he always gets back to Leah’s messages.
Sandy’s been the go-to gal on Below Deck Med since 2017. She even hopped over to the original series for a bit in 2023. Talk about making waves. Fans of the show? They’re in for a treat. Sandy and Leah’s engagement and wedding? Filmed for Bravo. Yep, you’ll see some familiar faces from Below Deck there too.
Their wedding was this cozy affair with just 60 folks. Close family and friends, ya know? Sandy’s been single since the show started, so it was a big deal when Leah came into the picture. They managed to sneak in some Bravo and NBC peeps into their special day. Nadine Rajabi and Josh Brown made the list.
Sandy wanted folks who’ve been there for her, like Kate Chastain and Aesha Scott. After tying the knot, Sandy and Leah shared their joy with Us. They’re living the dream, finding love at this stage in their lives. Every day is like a honeymoon for them. They even snagged a yacht for a quick getaway post-wedding.
They spent a few days on a Sunseeker 90-footer, thanks to Sandy’s boss. Headed to Little Palm Island in Florida. It’s this exclusive spot, perfect for some downtime. They ate, slept, and soaked up the sun. Just what they needed after the wedding hustle.
Sandy can’t stop raving about Little Palm Island. The food, the rest, the playtime in the sun and water. It was the perfect mini-honeymoon. And now, they’re back to reality, building a house and moving on to new adventures.
With a little help from Amanda Williams on the reporting front.
