Deadliest Catch season 18 kicked off with a two-hour epic featuring the captains battling the usual weather and dangerous conditions. Among them was Captain Keith Colburn piloting the Wizard, and it was definitely one of the most dangerous voyages ever! But no matter how difficult his adventures are, he knows he must succeed because he has a love life waiting for him at home, Florence Colburn.
Meet Florence Colburn, wife of Keith Colburn with the most dangerous catch
Florence Colburn met her future husband Keith Colburn in 1987 in Lake Tahoe. Falling quickly in love, the two walked down the aisle and greeted their two sons together, who starred in Deadliest Catch.
His son Caelan Colburn first appeared on Deadliest Catch in 2017. Also, before that, he appeared on After the Catch in 2009.
Similarly, his daughter, Sienna Colburn, appeared in After the Catch in 2009, Deadliest Catch in 2011, and later also appeared on-screen in Deadliest Catch: Legend of the Wizard in 2016.
As of 2022, Caelan, a graduate of Eastside Catholic School and Southern Methodist University, lived in Bellevue, Washington, while Sienna worked as a “gymnastics coach” at Emerald City Gymnastics Academy in Bellingham, Washington.
Talking more about her, Sienna graduated from Eastside Catholic School and later attended Western Washington University and the American University of Paris. Also, she turned 24 in May 2022.
Florence described her as “a fiery, intelligent, talented and beautiful young woman”.
In case you’re here as a Florence fan and don’t know who her husband is, Keith Colburn is a first-generation crabber who loves to fish and isn’t afraid to walk into dangerous waters for it. At the age of 22, he hopped on a plane with his best friend Kurt Frankenberg and landed in Kodiak, Alaska with no experience, no tent, and $50.
Keith then began his career as a true novice on the Alaska Trader crab boat and eventually became a full deckhand aboard the Wizard. In 1990, after finally being licensed by the US Coast Guard, he moved from deck to wheelhouse. Furthermore, after another 2 years of effort, he received his captain’s license and remained there as skipper.
Are Keith and Florence Colburn still married?
Yes, Florence and Keith Colburn are still married in 2022. Or, at least, that’s what Keith’s relationship status on FB says.
Going strong for over 35 years, husband and wife have never looked happier. Well, given Florence’s sacrifice, it’s only fair that they both live forever.
If you didn’t know, Florence gave up her successful career in glacial geology and climatology to help her husband run the business and their two children. And according to Keith, her management and negotiation skills were legendary. “Florence is the business partner you are looking for, intelligent, attentive, thorough and very practical,” she explained.
Furthermore, the captain added that his wife was an “integral force in the success” of the FV Wizard. He said his business experience included, but was not limited to, the ongoing policy of the Crab program, as well as the executive requirements put forth by highly complex regulatory agencies.
But in that sense, several sites have claimed that Florence and Keith are already divorced. Unfortunately, their married life ended in divorce after 27 years of marriage. Keith Colburn recently revealed that his drinking habits were the main reason for the divorce. In addition, he also had health problems that somehow weighed down his married life, ”Realitystarfacts indicated about the reason for their separation.
Trivia: Florence accompanied Keith to the Creative Emmy Awards on September 16, 2013.
