Below Deck Mediterranean star Nathan Gallagher is facing an arrest warrant in Australia after failing to appear in court for a hearing related to domestic violence charges. Authorities in New South Wales issued the warrant after Gallagher failed to appear in court on September 1, with prosecutors reportedly telling the court he was believed to be overseas. The development places Gallagher among a growing list of Bravo personalities who have faced arrests and criminal charges that became major storylines off-screen.
Gallagher, 28, was arrested in Australia in December 2025 following an alleged domestic violence incident. Police charged the Below Deck Mediterranean star with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally choking a person without consent, and common assault. He pleaded not guilty and was released on conditional bail while awaiting trial.

The alleged victim was not publicly named in police documents, although court records connected to an Apprehended Violence Application reportedly involve former partner and fellow Below Deck star Gael Cameron, with whom Gallagher shares a child. The warrant was issued following proceedings related to domestic violence charges stemming from his arrest in December 2025. Gallagher had previously pleaded not guilty to the allegations and was released on bail while awaiting the outcome of the case.
