Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux's Paternity Saga Explained

screenrant.com:

Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux from Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 2 has been on a long journey to find out the paternity of costar Dani Soares' daughter. The journey began during the summer of 2020 when Jean-Luc and Dani met for the first time while filming the Bravo series. At first, Dani was hesitant to any type of romance with the deckhand as he was almost a decade younger than her. Dani was looking to find someone she could see a future with, not a one-night stand.

Dani eventually fell for Jean-Luc, and the two were inseparable for the whole season. He was able to convince her that he was ready for a serious relationship, so she gave him a chance. When their time on the yacht had come to an end, Dani and Jean-Luc left together in hopes of making their relationship work. However, soon after departing the boat, the couple hit some rough waters in their relationship leading to the year-long paternity saga.

Jean-Luc's paternity scandal began after Dani announced she was expecting her first child in April 2021. When she revealed she was about to become a first-time mother, the former third steward didn't confirm who the father of her child was. However, viewers immediately began to speculate if Jean-Luc was the father. It only made sense as die-hard BDSY fans know the show usually films sometime between August and September. When Dani announced her pregnancy, she was already far along and seemed like she was ready to give birth fairly soon. After weeks of speculation, Jean-Luc finally broke his silence on Instagram, making it known that he is still unsure that he is the father. Fans were shocked by his revelation, and so were his BDSY castmates.
