So, does the 27-year-old have a brand new boyfriend? Here’s what we find out about Brooke’s present relationship standing and what went down between her and João when they left the Talisman Maiton.

Why did Brooke and João get a divorce?

On the Season 4 premiere of Below Deck Med, João claimed that issues unraveled between the duo because Brooke used to be untrue.

In an interview with The Daily Dish, João explained that he left his place as a bosun on a constitution vessel in Europe to be with Brooke in America. "Well, by the time I figured out exactly what was going on, I couldn't really believe it because I had literally quit my dream job," he shared. 

"I was busy planning a trip on a sailboat for us for two-and-a-half months, and she asked me to give her one more month on her boat in order for her to be happy to leave, and it turned out she was with the other guy." 

Brooke denied cheating on João, telling People magazine, "Although it initially hurt to hear João blamed our relationship breakdown on a false claim that I cheated on him, it is very true to his character and allows him some relief for his ego." She added, "If this theory makes him sleep easier at night, then so be it but him saying this only makes me lose even more respect for him."
