'Below Deck' Season 11 Adds Drama as Newcomer Jared Woodin Gets Axed

Season 11 of Below Deck has finally set sail. The latest installment introduces viewers to a host of new faces, most notably Captain Kerry Titheradge, who is the replacement for Captain Lee Rosbach. But along with a new captain, there's also a refreshed crew.

Newcomers aboard St. David this season include chef Anthony Iracane, stewardesses Cat Baugh, Xandi Olivier, and Barbie Pascual, along with deckhands Kyle Stillie and Marie "Sunny" Marquis, and last but not least, the brand-new bosun, Jared Woodin.

So, who is Jared Woodin and do we have any tea on him? Besides, of course, what he has shared himself, including details about his daughter. Read on to learn more about him below, including his fate on the reality show.

Jared Woodin, who can be found on Instagram under @yur_boy_j (though it's a private account), hails from North Branford, Conn., and has 11 years of experience in the industry, per his Bravo bio. Born on April 21, Jared is a Taurus whose favorite non-boating activities include "sports, carpentry, hard work, [and] helping hard people in hard places get through hard times."

In fact, he spent six years working as a carpenter after high school, according to his LinkedIn.

Jared is also a dad to three-year-old daughter Alaska, whom he FaceTimes twice weekly while working. It's unclear if he is currently married, but he was previously engaged in 2015 to yacht interior designer and former chief stew Mia Nordangard. It's unknown what happened, but they are no longer together.

Although Jared has weekly calls with his three-year-old daughter, which he explains on Below Deck, he hasn't actually met her in real life. Prior to his daughter's birth, Jared and his daughter's mom didn't have the best relationship. For now, they've agreed on weekly phone calls. But, since Jared's daughter lives in Alaska, it's not exactly easy for him to co-parent IRL.

Although Jared has over a decade of experience in the industry, he hasn't been making the best first impression on Captain Kerry and fans of the show. In the Season 11 premiere, he has a few fumbles, making some people wonder if his days of working on St. David are numbered.

The Twitter account for OverBoard: A Below Deck Podcast tweeted: "Jared already seems flustered and is making a bunch of dumb mistakes. Also, his lead deckhand knows the boat really well and is already best friends with Capt Kerry. No chance he makes it through the season."

So, does Jared get fired? Yes, he does! In the March 18 episode, Jared faces the consequences of his actions as Captain Kerry fires him from his position due to unprofessional behavior. The final straw occurs when an intoxicated Jared invades Barbie Pascual's cabin and confronts Kyle Stillie about a mess left on the deck after a night of partying.

"This is the second time you've gone on the piss and you've had bad behavior," Kerry explains to Jared. "You're in a leadership role. You can't be acting like that. You gotta be above the fray. The way that you're treating these guys is not acceptable."

Noting Jared's compromised mental state, Kerry decides it's best for Jared to leave the vessel, acknowledging that staying onboard would be detrimental to him.

"You've got s--t going on, man," he shares. "You're your own worst enemy right now. You need to depart the vessel."

Accepting his termination with grace, Jared acknowledges his struggles and agrees that the timing isn't right for him.

"This ain't the right place for me at the right time," Jared says, to which Kerry replies, "I don't blame you for that. Take this time and work on yourself. Me keeping you here is a disservice to you."

As Jared departs, he realizes he isn't in the right headspace and admits the need for personal growth and reflection.
