Dani Soares and Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux’s baby was one of the biggest scandals to ever happen in Below Deck history.

Now, the mum-of-one has graduated her Registered Nurse degree and she took her daughter Lilly Rose onstage with her.

“It’s only fair that Lilly would go up there with me,” Dani wrote on an Instagram story showing her accepting her degree.

Dani and Jean-Luc were romantically involved in season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht which aired in 2021.

Shortly after the finale aired, Dani announced on Instagram that she was pregnant. Dani didn’t confirm that Jean Luc was the father at the time, but fans did speculate just that.

“I just don’t think that’s relevant for my situation, that’s all,” Dani told Us in May 2021, explaining why she decided not to name her child’s father. “I understand that people are curious about it, and I understand that I’m on a TV show and everybody wants to know. I just don’t think it’s anybody’s business right now.”

When did Jean Luc confirm that he was the father of Lilly Rose?

Nearly eight months after Lilly Rose’s birth announced that he’d done a paternity test and Lilly Rose was his daughter.

“As the year 2021 came to a close. A new year in 2022 begins with high ambitions and positivity. My silence on social media has been intentional and much-needed. I used that time to focus on what was important to me and my mental health,” he began.

“I can’t let 2022 go any further without sharing some beautiful news. An international DNA test that was done awhile ago was no small feat. I’m happy and proud to say Sweet and beautiful Lilly Rose is my daughter.”

It doesn’t appear that Jean has been a part of Lilly Rose’s life.

Lilly Rose lives in Sydney with Dani now and is turning three this year.
