Now that Kristen Doute has split from post-adolescent boyfriend James Kennedy, she’s moved on to seafaring men! Kristen has reportedly sunk her clutches into former Below Deck star Aleks Taldykin.
Aleks appeared on season 1 of Below Deck as Captain Lee‘s First Officer. He left the show to focus on his own yachting career and currently owns a yachting company which specializes in upscale international charters. In between voyages he apparently started seeing Kristen. Being at sea makes a man lonely and desperate, I suppose…
The real question is: has Aleks seen Vanderpump Rules? Cause Kristen seems like a sinking ship and Aleks be in for some stormy seas!

Kristen loves herself a rebound fling, so moments after ditching James, she and Aleks hooked up. It turns out they have a mutual friend in the form of Jax Taylor. Does not an auspicious meeting make!
Insiders tell Perez Hilton Aleks and Kristen have been “talking” for a year and half – even though she was in a relationship with James AND simultaneously obsessing over Tom Sandoval! This July they made their first public debut together when they attended the launch of Katie Maloney‘s website – which means Aleks will likely be returning to Bravo!
A photo of Aleks and Kristen from that event is above.
If you remember Aleks from his time on Below Deck, he took his job very seriously and was often annoyed by the hijinks, but he clashed with Chief Stew Adrienne over her extreme micromanaging style.
Let’s just hope Kristen and Aleks don’t take any 3 hour tours together… although that could be one helluva a reality show! Methinks this is a PR stunt, matey – what say you?
