The reality star then said: “I’ll share. So, I have a boyfriend. Yeah, I’m in love, everybody.”

“He has to travel for work, so I went to go meet up with him and hang out with him and spend some time,” she continued, noting that she didn’t want to reveal his identity. “It was really amazing ’cause I hadn’t seen him in a few weeks and just being able to, like, spend some quality time and just be around him was really necessary and really nice.”

Without giving many specifics, Maloney gushed over her new man, saying: “He’s the most wonderful person I’ve ever met. He’s very lovely and he just makes me feel really special and he’s really special and, yeah, I’m just really happy.”

“There’s been some things online recently. I’ve seen little bits and pieces. But let me tell you, he could not have been nicer,” she shared at the time. “He’s from San Diego and we just talked about that. Then I ran into them again later back at the hotel at the end of the night, and was just such a sweet guy.”

“I caught the end of their set. We actually left Fall Out Boy a little early because they were playing at the same time. But I wanted to check out Sleeping With Sirens,” Shay said, referring to Martin’s band. “I wanted to see what the band was all about. They were really good.”

Lala Kent, another member of theVPRgroup, later called out Shay for disclosing Martin’s identity before Maloney.

“Scheana Shay was the one that confirmed Katie Maloney’s relationship. She told me, ‘I accidentally confirmed it,'” Kent, 34, joked on herGive Them Lalapodcast in November. “Katie and Nick haven’t confirmed because what I read is he is going through a messy divorce and they have to keep it quiet.”
