Katie Maloney has found love with a REALLY problematic musician! Uh-oh!
Last month, the Vanderpump Rules star revealed she is in a new relationship, with outlets quickly identifying her beau as Nick Martin, 41, the guitarist of the band Sleeping With Sirens. Shortly after Katie said they were getting serious, The US Sun learned they connected over their “deep love” of music and other interests. They have reportedly been dating since the summer. But now three women are coming out of the woodwork to call out the musician for his serial cheating ways! And TWO of these women he has supposedly already cheated on Katie with. WTF!?

The Fan
Speaking to The US Sun on Monday, Bruna Unsworth recalled being a fan of the band since she was 13. Now 27, she recently looked them up again and went to a concert, she said:
“I was a fan of the band but I never really followed them or anything. I just listened to their music. One day [recently], I decided to check up if they were still touring and they were actually touring the UK, so I bought a last-minute ticket on resale and went to the concert on my own.”
That would send her on a very unexpected journey… Recalling how she met Nick, she continued:
“I went to their concert on March 19th, 2023 in Manchester. During the whole show, Nick kept looking at me, as I stood near him. A girl that was behind me even tapped my shoulder and went ‘I think he’s in love with you because he keeps coming here to sing at you.’ After the show, I took a picture with Nick and I posted some stories from the show and started following the guys from the band.”
Nick then saw she posted a tagged photo of him and they began communicating online, talking for several weeks — all while he was married! She claims she knew nothing of the marriage to Jenna Martin but that they “texted on a daily basis,” even when the rock star was touring and traveling. She recalled:
“He’d made me feel like part of his daily life, like sending me photos of ordinary things that he was doing or places he was at. He used to tell me about his whole day, what he was up to etc. He used to really open up to me, talk about his struggles, he used to say he never opened up like this to anyone and made me feel very special. This texting back and forward carried on for the next seven months.”
In October 2023, Nick invited her to a show in Denver, Colorado. She flew there from England and they spent a few nights together, and that’s when he finally got candid about his romantic relations, she dished:
“I went to the show, then went back to the hotel and on the first night, just as we were about to have sex, he said ‘Do you know about my life?’ I said ‘No, what do you mean?’”
That’s when he dropped the bomb? What the hell! She was shocked, adding:
“He said he had a public life and I said I didn’t really look much into it. He then said he was married, as he was on top of me in bed, and said he had a really bad relationship with his wife though and he didn’t want to carry on married, they were going to get a divorce. We both just carried on talking and he passed off this victim vibe about his relationship. We didn’t end up doing anything physical on the first night, just watched a TV show and went to sleep. During the previous months we were talking, he never mentioned his wife, ever. He didn’t post any pictures with her either. He literally waited until I was in a hotel room with him, as we were about to sleep together, to drop me the ‘news.’”
That’s insane!
Nick was “convincing” and she believed his story about being a “victim” in a toxic relationship, leading them to have sex the next night. They enjoyed the rest of their trip and then stayed in touch when she flew home. She furthered:
“I started to get real feelings for him and told him that. He said he also had feelings for me, he used to message me saying that I was the best thing that happened in his life… and the whole time he kept saying horrible things about his wife, that she was toxic.”
She continued:
“He used to FaceTime me various times or send me videos of around 3 minutes long saying how much he just wanted to be with me. He used to send me pictures all the time.”
In December 2023, Nick booked a surprise trip to the UK to spend Bruna’s 27th birthday with her and he planned to stay at her home for 10 days. That said, she made it very clear she was “uncomfortable” seeing him if he was still married. She recalled:
“Two days before he was flying over, he said he had a talk with his wife and ended things with her. So he came [to U.K.] and we spent a few days in Liverpool, then went on a weekend trip to Paris for my birthday, went to Disneyland, then we spent the last week in London. During the trip, he said he loved me multiple times, and that we were going to see each other in a few months, told me he wanted me to visit his hometown in San Diego. He was always this sweet, lovely guy. I couldn’t think anything wrong of him. I swear at the time, I thought he was the loveliest guy I had ever met.”
Everything changed instantly when he left, she shared:
“Then he left to go back home and then all of a sudden he went cold. He was ghosting me. So I noticed something was wrong but I didn’t want to keep texting him because I thought he was grieving his fresh divorce and needed some time. Then a week later, his wife posted a story on Instagram which had his hand on it. I sent him a message and he texted me back instantly. Then I sent all the evidence to [his wife] and told her what he had been up to for the past 10 months.”
Nick’s wife even called her and they spoke for over an hour, in which Bruna learned Nick had “never” had a conversation about divorce with her. Damn! Shortly after discovering this relationship, though, the wife filed for divorce but it has not been finalized yet.
The last time Nick and Bruna spoke was on February 7, 2024, when she messaged his wife about the relationship. She included several of their text messages from throughout the romance. See (below):

Now, she feels like the relationship set her back after she’d completed so much work on her personal growth, she told the outlet:
“Everything is still very fresh so it’s still affecting me mentally. I haven’t dated anyone after him and it kind of put me off being involved with anyone. Before him, I had worked on myself so much to be able to trust again and be able to enter a healthy relationship. But after him, I feel that all that work I had done on myself has regressed. His tactics were very different from what you read in the books. It’s scary because I would’ve never thought that he was the person he’s shown to be. I trust the universe and that everything in life happens for a reason, so I take it as a lesson, but it’s gonna take a while to pick up the pieces and pull myself back up from this traumatic experience.”
As for what she would say to Katie? She noted:
“She seems like a strong, empowered woman. I’m sure she’ll know what to do, she just needs to trust her gut. I’m a girl’s girl and I’ve warned someone previously about him because I felt that was the right thing to do. Even if she doesn’t see it now, time will show his true colors but I really hope that she listens to the warnings about him at this early stage, to save her from the heartache and damage in the future. It’s just not worth it.”
Friends To Lovers To Enemies
Danielle Angie was friends with Nick for years before they finally started dating — a romance that overlapped with Katie’s!
Speaking to the outlet, Danielle said she began dating the musician in July 2024 after 13 years of friendship. She explained:
“We used to be roommates and good friends for years. But once he got in his marriage, he cut every female he knew out of his life. After his separation, I noticed more recently he re-followed me and started liking my stuff. So I thought he was opening the door to our friendship.”
They began to flirt over texts and Nick regularly commented fire and devil emojis on Danielle’s photos. She wasn’t totally into it at first, reflecting:
“At first I was like ‘that’s weird, Nick is hitting on me that’s a weird thing for a friend to do.’ It was very confusing because we were friends over 10 years ago and then since he got married, haven’t even said ‘hi’ since then.”
But when she was in the hospital for major surgery, she started to think differently about the artist, noting:
“Nick was messaging me all day every day, like ‘Are you okay?’ and ‘I’m here for you,’ and ‘I can send you anything you need.’ I was like, ‘Wow, what a good guy.’ Maybe I should finally give a good guy a chance because I wasn’t necessarily attracted to him, he’s my friend you know? But he was hitting on me and being super nice and so I opened that door and that was a huge mistake.”
Their romance blossomed and they planned trips together. They even wanted to get an annual pass to Disneyland after going together. Little did she know Nick was dating Katie already! She shared:
“When it came to Katie, he would name-drop her and call her a friend. He was insistent they were just friends and it was ‘not like that.’ And at that point with us, things were getting hot and heavy. We were sending each other pictures all day which is fine because we’re adults and I thought it was just him and I. And I never thought that this person, my friend, would ever have this side to him. I never thought he’d play me.”
She went on:
“One day he was supposed to visit me [in Nashville], but just before that he had ghosted me for a few days. Which was so weird because we talked all day, every day. Well I find out later it’s because he was with Katie. They went on a mini-trip somewhere and I had no idea. Then he ends up coming here, we hang out, go out, super flirty things are really good. I’m like ‘this is what I wanted.’”
And it gets worse… She said:
“We have so many mutual friends so I let them all know it went great. All our friends were so happy like ‘yay Mom and Dad are together’ because we’re all a group. After, I get screenshots that the same messages he’s sending to me, he’s sending to Katie too.”
The SAME texts?? Yeesh! Danielle continued:
“And the night before he flew out here to see me, he was with Katie at a Green Day concert. So he must have hopped on the plane to see me a couple hours after being with her. Once I finally figured all of this out and put the pieces together, I called him out on it. He then ghosted me for real and I haven’t talked to him since.”
Awful!
Once she discovered this, she felt “so stupid,” “so foolish,” and like she was “losing her mind.” Aw! She said through tears:
“It went from a high to a low. He made a complete joke out of me. I felt so much rejection and the ghosting was mentally really f**ked up. It really f**ked me up, I felt so betrayed and rejected and I wasn’t ready for it. After that is when I started piecing together all of his lies.”
The poor thing! She didn’t even really want to date him t the beginning and he broke her heart. Does Katie, who reportedly started dating him in August, per Page Six, know about any of this?! It’s unclear, partially because this isn’t the only person he’s reportedly been with while linked to the Bravo personality!
Out For Payback
Nick was also reportedly dating Brandy Robidoux earlier this year after meeting at a coffee shop in March. She told the publication that they “hit it off immediately” and by the second or third time getting together, it was “evident” they wanted to be together. She shared:
“He’s very good at making people feel immediately close to him. He first called me his ‘girlfriend’ around April 1st.”
The performer supposedly lied about his divorce, and when Brandy discovered the truth, that’s when everything went down hill.
“There’s a lot more I can’t really talk about right now, but he flat out said his divorce was several weeks from being finalized in March. They are still currently married, and I just wish I had asked for more proof.”
Oof. She added:
“It’s also one thing to do this to an industry executive in their 30s, but the fan aspect really bothers me. There’s plenty of people in the world, bands really don’t have to sleep with fans. I’m proud to be a part of the rock music scene for many reasons, but I think there’s still a long way to go when it comes to holding male band members accountable.”
Totally!
She last saw her ex on September 6 — yeah, that’s when he would have already been dating Katie! At this meeting, they exchanged their things and parted ways. Now, she and a “handful of the other exes who spoke out” are going on a “healing girls trip” later this year to process, she spilled the tea:
“I received a lot of messages from other women, and fans, who have had relations with Nick that ended pretty negatively, so it was definitely validating. The most common thread has been him talking badly about other women. I live and vow to see the best in women, and he makes a point to see the worst in them.”
Wow! This has to be a nightmarish scenario for Nick! All his exes gathering in one place to gossip about his apparent cheating ways? Yikes!
It’s unclear just how much Katie knows about her new man’s past, but when confirming the romance last month, a source told The US Sun that her friends have raised concerns about him. The insider explained:
“Her friends have questions and concerns. He’s a touring musician so that will raise problems eventually. Some questionable decisions he’s made in the past have also made her friends compare him to Tom Schwartz. They love Katie and they just want to make sure Katie isn’t dating a Schwartz 2.0. Everyone knows she deserves so much better than that.”
This is nuts!
While Nick hasn’t commented on his ex’s claims, there certainly seems to be a sketchy pattern here! Does the sandwich shop owner know about any of these women — especially those that overlapped with her relationship?? If she doesn’t, she’s about to! We hope for her sake that she isn’t the next victim on his list!
Reactions? Can you believe this? Sound OFF (below)!
