Popular Gospel Singer, Leah Shafer, Confirms Lesbian Relationship
God is love. He doesn’t care.
FOX NEWS -- The love that “Below Deck Mediterranean” star Sandy Yawn has for girlfriend Leah Shafer extends beyond the high seas.
Discussing the relationship in a recent interview with The Cheat Sheet, the Bravo personality — Captain Sandy to “Below Deck” viewers — revealed gospel singer Shafer initially reached out to her on Facebook.
“She sent me a nice message that said, ‘I came across your show, congratulations, many blessings,'” Yawn said, noting Schafer’s line of “many blessings” grabbed her attention.
From their first meeting in Los Angeles last November, the sparks flew between Yawn and Shafer, who was married to fellow entertainer Ross Shafer for 20 years, according to her website, and has a 13-year-old daughter, Lauren.
“It was definitely unexpected,” Shafer recalled. “It just happened, when you meet another soul that you connect with at such a deep level, it is unexplainable and so beautiful.”
