Fact: Many women would like to date Nick Arrington from Summer House: Martha's Vineyard.
He, in turn, might have been impressed by some of his Martha's Vineyard castmates, including but not limited to Jasmine Ellis Cooper, Bria Fleming, Shanice Henderson, and Noelle Hughley.
While Nick may be on a reality TV show and prefers to keep his love life private, ahead of the Summer House: Martha's Vineyard Season 2 premiere, he exclusively told Distractify he intends to be more open with his and his girlfriend's relationship. Or, should we say ex-girlfriend? Here's everything we know about the woman Nick Arrington was dating and why they broke up.
Who is Nick Arrington from 'Summer House' dating?
Per Bravo, Nick was dating a woman named Tasia Monet Burroughs since at least Season 1 of Summer House: Martha's Vineyard up until sometime before Season 2 premiered. Not much is known about Tasia, and her social media profiles are set to private. Nick also didn't post her on his socials, at least not as much as his mom, who appears prominently on his feed.
During the Summer House: MV reunion, which aired on May 26, 2024, Nick shared that he and Tasia had broken up. "We both have our own goals we want to accomplish in life, and after our conversation, it made better sense to go after those things just separately," Nick said of his relationship.
When Andy Cohen asked if Tasia had felt embarrassed by Nick's actions on the show, Nick replied, "Yes, I do, that was a factor." He added, "It was part of the conversation, but it wasn’t the only thing. That wasn’t the straw that broke the camel’s back."
Just as Nick was open and honest with Andy, some other cast members also expressed concerns about his behavior. In fact, some appeared to question Nick's commitment to his partner in Season 2, particularly after a night of partying.
He has an “affectionate personality with the ladies” and as castmate Amir Lancaster says at one point, “Nick has a girlfriend. But sometimes his eyes wander.”
During one scene of Summer House: MV Season 2, Preston Mitchum, Jordan Emanuel, and Summer Marie Thomas questioned how Tasia would feel about his "handsy" behavior when she's not around and felt Nick wanted to end his relationship.
While Nick had told Distractify that he was still with Tasia during a March 2024 interview, circumstances have since changed. But he did mention fans would see her in the house again in Season 2 (for those who have yet to watch it!).
"I go into the house in a committed relationship and leave the house in a committed relationship," Nick shared. "We're going into the summer this year with no surprises. So that makes life easier for me. It makes life easier for everyone in the house."
Nick Arrington said he doesn't think his now ex-girlfriend was "ever a secret" in the house.
Tasia briefly appeared with Nick on Summer House: MV during Season 1, Episode 8 when she surprised Nick during a party. In the scene, it's clear how happy he is upon seeing his girlfriend and the two embrace for more than a minute in front of everyone.
Despite Nick's glee from seeing his girlfriend in person, several of his cast members said he "came in single," despite being devoted to Tasia. When asked why he chose to keep his relationship under wraps, Nick said he never felt he hid Tasia from the group or the rest of the world.
"She's no longer a secret," he said. "I don't think she was ever a secret."
Nick's girlfriend's whereabouts were a significant part of his storyline in his reality TV debut. While it didn't damage his and Tasia's relationship (initially), he said he was ready to put the chatter surrounding his relationship to rest after he declared his love for his girlfriend on Summer House: MV and on a June 2023 episode of Watch What Happens Live.
Now that Nick is single again, fans will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting updates on his dating status.
