Denise Becker on Life Below Zero
We know Denise Becker from ‘Life Below Zero’ as she travels with her partner Andy Bassich as they spend time in Alaska. The couple live together with 16 huskies. The National Geographic show documents their life in sub-zero temperatures and their preparations to survive the cold as it rises.
When Denise appeared on the show, she assured viewers that she was well equipped to survive in the cold climate of Alaska. She explained to viewers that she grew up in Canada and had worked some tough jobs during that time. Denise shared, “My family settled in northern Saskatchewan on a farm, and it’s still an active, hard-working farm. Calico Bluff was full of work, full of great work. Work that was really worth it at the end of the day.”
She harvests vegetables in her garden but the show will not air on television in 2021.
Is Denise Becker still with Andy Bassich?
Before we get into the question, let’s explore the history of their relationship. Denise and Andy met in 2017 on a canoe trip in Florida. At the time, Denise was escorting a Boy Scout troop on the canoe trip. They became close after that, but when Andy suffered two infections, one muscle and one bone, the couple spent a lot of time together.
Andy never thought he would return to the harsh, unforgiving climate of Alaska without a companion, but with Denise by his side, he was able to do it on his own again. Andy explains, “If I didn’t have a companion to help me, there’s no way I could have come back here and done what I needed to do.”
“The most important thing I have to remember is that I always try to do too much,” he added. “I have to make sure I don’t do something that will hurt me more… Right now, I just have to lower my expectations a little bit.”
Before Denise, Andy was married to his ex-wife Kate Rourke. They met while Andy was working as a river boat captain in Alaska in 2003, where Kate had been a tourist. However, the couple divorced in 2015, citing Andy as a psychologically and physically abusive husband. They never had any children together.
Back to the question, are Denise and Andy still together?
There’s no indication they’re breaking up. But on Denise’s Facebook page, one of her followers, Nancy Yackle, asked, “I hope all is well with you, Andy, and your dogs during this time of separation.” It’s unclear whether they’re not appearing on the show or have broken up, as Denise never responded.
So they can still be together considering Andy’s health condition.
As for Denise, she is the mother of at least one daughter named Devan. Devan turned 20 on June 9, 2021.
On her birthday, Deinse wrote on her Facebook, “June 9th holds a special place in my heart. It was the day my daughter was born 19 years ago. She was strong, vibrant, independent, and very intelligent. She was creative and artistic with a dancing soul. She achieved anything she set her mind to. She constantly surprised me, usually in a good way. And she radiated beauty in every way. You are Devan. Happy Birthday, with all my love. Mom. #family #floridalife #calicobluff #alaskalife“.
