The Truth About Captain Sandy's Girlfriend, Leah Shafer

The relationship quickly got so serious it prompted Captain Sandy to move to Denver to be with Shafer, who gushed to The Cheat Sheet, "It was definitely unexpected. It just happened, when you meet another soul that you connect with at such a deep level, it is unexplainable and so beautiful." 

Shafer is divorced with a 13-year-old daughter from her previous marriage to motivational speaker Ross Shafer, which lasted 20 years. She discussed the otherwise happy relationship in a one-on-one interview with The Cheat Sheet in August, admitting of her marriage, "I knew inside of me I preferred women. It wasn't fair to my husband that I just wasn't attracted to him in a way he needed me to be."

When Yawn met Shafer, the yacht captain was single, telling The Daily Dish last year she didn't expect to meet anyone who could fit in with her busy lifestyle.
