It’s been just two months since Matt Rogers ended his relationship with Below Deck star Fraser Olender. The couple went their separate ways, citing intense health issues as the cause. However, it seems they have been able to put those issues aside as they are once again back together. Keep reading to find out more about the couple and when this reunion happened.
Matt Rogers And Fraser Olender Break Up
Earlier this year, Matt and Fraser broke up following a series of very serious health issues on Fraser’s end. They were only together for six months after making their debut at BravoCon in the fall. So, what could have caused this health-related rift? Fraser actually had a heart attack in front of his boyfriend. Matt spoke about it on his podcast post-breakup.
“As that was happening, and I know this is going to sound dramatic, he had a heart attack in front of me,” Matt said on an episode.
While Matt was very supportive of his boyfriend in the moment, these serious issues forced the couple to accelerate their relationship, making them both decide it was time to take a step back.
“We were already like really enjoying being together, then there was this health stuff that entered, and so that accelerated things.”
So what caused the heart attack? Apparently, Fraser had poison in his body.
“I’m thinking, is it stress and anxiety? We find out much later, after tests come in, that essentially because of this poison that got in his lungs, he had what the equivalent was of a heart attack,” Matt reveals.
Not only did they need to take time apart for health issues, but Fraser was also filming for Below Deck.
Rekindling The Flame
Now, the couple seems to have set all of those health issues aside and gotten back together, The Sun reports. Matt was on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where he was asked about his relationship with Fraser. The pair was first spotted back together at the 2026 Culture Awards on the blue carpet.
“How did you and Fraser decide that you would make your blue carpet debut as a couple at the 2026 Culture Awards, and what’s your favourite part of your relationship?” a caller asked.
Matt says they didn’t plan to make the whole thing ‘carpet official.’ Instead, they were just excited in the moment and took a photo. “I would say you don’t really make a decision to go carpet official. We were there and he was like, ‘do you wanna take a picture?’ and I was like, ‘of course,’” he explains.
“Then it becomes more of a thing but it wasn’t premeditated. We were excited to be there and we took the picture.”
While he didn’t go into detail about how they actually decided to try the relationship again, it seems that they are both pretty happy to have one another.
