AceShowbiz - "Vanderpump Rules" star Katie Maloney is now dating Sleeping With Sirens guitarist Nick Martin. According to a source, the pair met through mutual friends in the music industry and bonded over their shared interests in hospitality. Maloney, 37, co-owns the Los Angeles sandwich shop Something About Her, 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," an insider shared.

While they started out as friends, their relationship took a romantic turn in August. However, the source revealed that Maloney and Martin are "trying to keep things under wraps," as Martin is in the midst of a "heavy divorce" from his estranged wife, Jenna Martin.

The news comes after Maloney announced her new relationship on her podcast, "Disrespectfully". "I have a boyfriend," she told co-host Dayna Kathan during the podcast episode. "Yeah, I'm in love, everybody. Katie's in love! Yeah, I'm really happy."

Maloney shared that she recently traveled to see her boyfriend, who "travel[s] for work." She gushed, "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."

Martin, who was married to Jenna, recently visited Maloney's sandwich shop. Fans have also noticed flirty comments between the pair on Instagram.

The relationship marks Maloney's first public relationship since her divorce from Tom Schwartz in 2022. The former couple have remained cordial while continuing to film "Vanderpump Rules" together.
