Nessa was in a relationship with Jaden Hossler — they even got engaged.

Nessa and Jaden (aka Jxdn) began dating in 2021, and were (secretly) engaged by August of that same year. They moved in together in January 2022, but a few months later in April, they called it quits. They posted a statement the following month saying they wanted to focus on their music career and their mental health.

Nessa later admitted that accusations of cheating — and the backlash that came with it — contributed to the breakup.

(For some context: Nessa, Jaden, and their exes, Josh Richards and Mads Lewis, all lived together at one point, and some folks accused Nessa and Jaden of cheating on their ex-partners — which they denied.)

In September 2023, Jaden teased a song called "Chrome Hearted," which fans believed was a jab at Nessa. After all, Nessa's alleged new boyfriend was Harley Solomon, the nephew of Richard and Laurie Lynn Stark — who happen to own the brand Chrome Hearts.

But Jaden explained on Twitter: "I'd never use my words to hurt anyone anymore but I make real music from multiple real situations in my life, never just one. Sometimes real makes people upset and that’s OK. I encourage all artists to say what’s true to them in music because I expect the same. That’s my freedom. Grateful."

After months and months of speculation (and denials on Nessa's part), Josh revealed in March 2021 on the BFFs podcast (per J-14): “Me and Ness aren’t together. She just felt like she really needed time for her right now, and it’s been like that for the past two weeks.”

Is Nessa Barrett bi?

Josh Richards joked that he had more "competition" when it came to Nessa Barrett, because the TikToker also came out as bisexual on a November 2020 TikTok post, but then edited the caption. Josh, too, spoke to this on the BFFs podcast in December 2020.

"I’ve known that for a while. Like, for a year. But she just wasn’t public about it and didn’t want to tell people. And then I guess one day she was like, ‘Hey, I wanna tell people,'" Josh said.
