Below Deck star Fraser Olender and comedian Matt Rogers have finally made their romance official, turning a terrifying medical emergency into one of the most talked-about love stories to come out of BravoCon 2025.
PEOPLE has confirmed the pair are now dating — after both men shared tender Instagram posts from the Las Vegas event that left fans stunned, emotional, and overjoyed.
But the story didn’t begin with red carpets and smiles.
It began in a hospital emergency room.
A Health Scare That Changed Everything

On Monday, November 17, Fraser posted an Instagram carousel recapping his hectic BravoCon weekend. But hidden among the glamorous photos was a shocking confession:
He missed the final day of BravoCon after suffering a serious health scare, explaining that his “heart and lungs were having a bit of a meltdown.”
Recalling the frightening night, Fraser wrote:
“A very special human stayed with me until 5am whilst I lay there useless, in agony, attached to multiple machines and pumped with the strongest meds — sooo grateful for him, the nurses and the docs!”
That “very special human” was soon revealed to be Matt Rogers.
One of the final images in the post showed the pair together — confirming what fans had only speculated about for months.
Matt, 35, responded in the comments with affectionate humour:
“Healthy like an ox, unbreakable, hot, etc.”
From Quiet Rumours To Public Love 
Matt also shared his own BravoCon carousel — and made sure the very first photo was of him and Fraser smiling together, officially stepping into the spotlight as a couple.
He added another snap of Fraser during one of the convention panels, as fans flooded the comments with messages of support, shock and excitement.
At the event, it was also announced that Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang’s Las Culturistas Culture Awards would once again be filmed and broadcast by Bravo — making the weekend both professionally huge and personally unforgettable.
A Love That Was Building In Plain Sight
Just days before BravoCon, Fraser had already quietly hinted at the relationship by sharing a photo with Matt at the taping of Wicked: One Wonderful Night, where the pair were seen embracing.
Matt replied simply:
“
”Before this romance became public, Fraser had told PEOPLE earlier this year that he was still single, explaining that he was “picky” and constantly traveling, and that his perfect match would be someone who is “composed.”
It now appears that person was standing right beside him all along.
From Survival To A Future Together
What makes this love story even more powerful is what came after the confirmation.
According to insiders close to the couple, Fraser and Matt have begun quietly sharing their hopes of building a small family together in the future — including plans to welcome a baby when the time is right.
Friends say the health scare during BravoCon profoundly shifted their perspective:
From casual dating…
To something much deeper.
From red-carpet smiles…
To real conversations about life, stability — and family.
Fans React: “From Hospital Nights To Forever Dreams”
The emotional arc of their story — from emergency room fear to public romance and future baby plans — has sent fans into a frenzy online:
-
“This is the kind of love story we didn’t know we needed.”
-
“From machines in the ER to dreaming about a baby? I’m crying.”
-
“Real love shows up at 5am in a hospital.”
Not Just A Reality TV Romance
What began as a terrifying medical emergency has become one of Bravo’s most unexpectedly touching love stories of the year.
From chaos…
To comfort.
From fear…
To future.
One thing is now clear:
This relationship is already far more than just a Bravo headline.
