Once again, Malia finds herself single and maybe not ready to mingle after her last relationship ended. In a recent conversation with Showbiz Cheat Sheet, Malia revealed that she and Jake Baker have officially called it quits. The two dated during Season 6 of Below Deck Mediterranean, which aired in summer 2021, while he was an engineer on the Lady Michelle.

Dating while essentially living together really fast-tracks a relationship, which is part of the problem. "So, you’re skipping that whole first stage, which can have pros and cons," she told the outlet. "In the cons section for a long-term relationship is, it doesn’t set your boundaries or your standards right away because there are none. You’re living in a cabin right next door where you’re sharing a space and there is no like ... you can walk me to my door but that’s my boundary. There’s no setting that."

She doesn't really get into the pros of dating a co-worker you immediately cohabitate with, but Malia was quick to say she wasn't ruling out dating a yachtie. So, why did she and Jake end things? Steward Katie Flood has some thoughts. "I just think it was one of those things it wasn’t meant to be in the end," she told the same outlet. "They tried and they were an amazing couple. Jake’s a good guy and it’s just one of those things. It just didn’t work out. That’s all it came down to."
