Katie Maloney’s “wonderful” new boyfriend is Sleeping With Sirens musician Nick Martin, Page Six can confirm.
A source exclusively told us that the pair met through mutual friends in the music industry and “bonded” over their respective endeavors in hospitality.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star, 37, owns her Los Angeles-based sandwich shop, Something About Her, with co-star Ariana Madix, while Martin, 41, runs a coffee company named Charlie Royal.
“Katie loves the emo music scene and has been a fan and friend of Nick’s band for some time,” the insider shared. “While the pair started out as friends, things took a turn this past summer in August and their relationship developed really quickly.”
The source explained that Maloney and Martin were “trying to keep things under wraps,” as the latter is in the midst of a “heavy divorce” with his estranged wife, Jenna Martin.
However, that hasn’t stopped the “If I’m James Dean, You’re Audrey Hepburn” musician from “growing his relationship with Katie in the meantime,” the insider assured us.
Reps for Nick and Maloney did not respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Nick and Jenna tied the knot in September 2016, according to posts from the rocker’s Instagram. It’s unclear exactly when they split. The last photo of Jenna on Nick‘s public page is from a trip they took to Universal Orlando Resort for his birthday in December 2023.
Meanwhile, Jenna’s last post with Nick dates back to Valentine’s Day 2023 when she shared a few photos of him kissing her at Disneyland.
Maloney made headlines earlier this week when she revealed she was in a new relationship following her own divorce from Tom Schwartz. However, she did not share the mystery man’s identity at the time.
“I have a boyfriend,” Maloney told co-host Dayna Kathan during Wednesday’s episode of their “Disrespectfully” podcast. “Yeah, I’m in love, everybody. Katie’s in love! Yeah, I’m really happy.”
Maloney shared the news after recently going on a trip to see her man, since he “travel[s] for work.”
“It was really amazing, because I hadn’t seen him in a few weeks and just being able to spend some quality time and just be around him was just really necessary and really nice,” she gushed.
The Bravolebrity went on to call him the “most wonderful person [she’s] ever met” who makes her “feel really special” and “really happy.”
Shortly after Maloney announced the big news, fans picked up on the fact that the reality star and the Sleeping With Sirens artist had been leaving flirty comments on each other’s Instagram posts over the last few weeks
She also posted a group snap that featured him dining at Something About Her on Oct. 3, adding even more fuel to the romance speculation.
Maloney was previously married to Schwartz, 42, for six years before they announced their divorce in 2022. The two have remained cordial while continuing to film “Vanderpump Rules” together.
