Aesha Scott is returning to Below Deck Med! (Or to put it in her own words: "Your favorite bush pig is baaaack!") After Captain Sandy fired first stew Hannah and promoted Bugsy on season 5 of the Bravo reality TV, she called on the beloved former cast member to fill the open second stew spot. Now the question is, what kind of drama will Aesha bring aboard? (This is Below Deck Med, after all.)

Fans might also be wondering if Aesha is still dating season 4 deckhand Jack Stirrup. In case you need a refresher, Aesha and Jack connected early on in season 4. After a dinner date and an elaborate relationship proposal, the pair officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. At the end of the season, they left as a solid couple...or so it seemed.

Are Aesha and Jack still together?

We had our hopes up for these two. We really did. But sadly, the couple didn't last long after Below Deck Med finished filming.

"We split up," Jack said on the season 4 after-show. "To be honest, when I got home, I just thought it was a bit of a forced situation, and it wasn't reality. I thought about it all and called it a day."

But that didn't quite match up with Aesha's version of events. According to her, Jack said he wanted her to come to London and meet his family—but asked her not to book tickets until after he attended a wedding, claiming he had too many family members staying with him, and there wasn't room for one more.

"And then the next thing I know, because I noticed that his then—I didn't realize—suddenly girlfriend again, was watching my Instagram Stories," Aesha said on the after-show. "So I went and looked at her Stories, and I see that she's on the fucking train with him to the wedding and at the wedding with him. And I was just like, 'Holy shit, how can you be this fucking mean to someone?' It was just such a stab in the back."

When Aesha called him out on it, Jack confessed to seeing the other woman while he and Aesha were still dating. (Aesha's theory is that Jack and his other girlfriend broke up just before Below Deck Med started filming, and got back together once he returned to England.) Needless to say, Aesha broke up with him.

"He doesn't deal with things like adults should deal with things; he runs away from things," Aesha said. "I think he just gets too caught up in the moment, and he doesn't think about the future and the consequences. And then he probably went home and was like, 'Oh, fuck, that's right. I've got this other girl here.' Like, 'what have I done' kind of thing... If he said like, 'Oh, let's not do anything.' But instead of that, he was just like, 'I'm just gonna run away from it and bury my head and pretend it hasn't happened.'"

Who is Aesha Scott's current boyfriend?

Aesha's out with the old and in with the new (boyfriend). According to Bravo, her new boyfriend is an outdoorsy dude named Scotty Dobbo. She's been open about their relationship on Instagram, including a post where she referred to them as a "power couple." She wrote in the caption:

"This guy though 💕 I’ll go ahead and address the elephant in the room. Yes he is the blatantly more attractive/photogenic/talented at EVERYTHING side of this duo, but I feel like what I bring is a certain mysterious spice, especially when I do things like cry over two-minute noodles for no reason when I’m on my period. So basically a power couple 💪🏼 "
