“Below Deck”’s Nathan Gallagher Wanted on Arrest Warrant in Australia After Allegedly Missing Hearing for Assault Charges

Nathan Gallagher, a prominent figure from the reality television series “Below Deck Mediterranean,” is currently the subject of an outstanding arrest warrant issued by New South Wales Police. This announcement follows Gallagher’s earlier arrest in December, when he was charged with several domestic violence offences.

On 1st September, New South Wales Police took to social media to declare that they are searching for the 28-year-old reality star, who is believed to be currently outside of Australia. Authorities indicated that he is known to often visit the Ermington and Melrose Park regions. Police described Gallagher as being of Caucasian appearance, approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall, with a medium physique. They urged anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to reach out to Ryde Police Station or Crime Stoppers.

Gallagher’s troubles with the law began on 27th December last year, when police arrested him at Melrose Park after a report concerning an alleged assault. It is reported that the incident involved a 29-year-old woman, though police confirmed she did not sustain serious injuries. Following his arrest, Gallagher was taken to Gladesville Police Station where he faced several charges, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally choking a person without consent, and common assault.

Initially, Gallagher denied bail, but he later appeared in Bail Division Court on 28th December, where he was granted conditional bail. Authorities stated that he was required to return to Burwood Local Court on 15th January 2026 for further proceedings regarding the charges.

In a recent statement to Rolling Stone, Gallagher reflected on his legal difficulties, acknowledging past mistakes but asserting that he possesses evidence which may shed light on the events leading to his arrest. He expressed the belief that the narrative presented to the public has not fully represented his perspective. Gallagher emphasised that his primary focus is on co-parenting with Gael Cameron, his former partner and fellow co-star from “Below Deck Mediterranean.” The couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Kayden Cameron-Gallagher, in June 2025.

The developments surrounding Gallagher’s legal issues have raised significant public interest, particularly due to his role on the Bravo television series, which is currently airing. The situation places him in a precarious position both personally and professionally, as the court proceedings unfold.

Despite the serious nature of the allegations, Gallagher remains firm in his assertion that a more nuanced understanding of the events is necessary. He indicated that much of what has been publicised is but one side of a complex situation.

As Gallagher prepares for his upcoming court appearance, the repercussions of these legal troubles may be substantial, potentially affecting both his personal relationships and his career in reality television. The ongoing situation serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by public figures when personal issues are thrust into the spotlight, creating a narrative that can often oversimplify intricate circumstances.
