Is ‘Deadliest Catch’ star Josh Harris married?
As of the time of writing, Josh is not officially married and it doesn’t seem like he ever has been. However, that doesn’t mean that the esteemed fisherman isn’t happily in love. Indeed, as evident by posts on his Instagram, which has since been deleted, Josh enjoyed a long-term relationship with Jenna Bulis spanning some years, but it is unclear if they are still together as of the time of writing.
We don’t know a whole lot about Josh and Jenna’s relationship as the duo haven’t shared much about their time together online, but from what is available, we can tell that their relationship has been around for at least roughly a decade. This is evident by the fact that the couple’s first daughter, Kinsley Ella Harris, was born in 2013.
Jenna also has another child from a previous relationship named Kayla Granese.
In an older interview with TV Show Ace, Josh opened up a bit about his daughter Kinsley and what it’s like raising her.
“She’s seven going on 30. She has me wrapped around her little finger. Yes. She’s a really good manipulator. Way too smart at seven years old. I remember I was kicking cans around the road and stuff and she is watching documentaries and how to operate on dogs and cats,” he said at the time.

By Season 8, Josh was part of the crew of Time Bandit, working on that ship until he received his captain license in 2013. At that point, Josh fully came into his own, helming the Cornelia Marie and going on to become one of the series’ biggest stars. Over the years, he has appeared on Deadliest Catch, American Chopper: Deadliest Catch Bike, After The Catch, and Deadliest Catch: Bloodline.
