Her time on Vanderpump Rules has come to an end, but Katie Maloney is keeping busy with a new man.
The reality star has officially launched her relationship with her new boyfriend, Sleeping With Sirens guitarist Nick Martin.
The Vanderpump Rules alum, 37, shared a loved-up snap with her love on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday while celebrating her birthday.
The couple looked as cute as can be as they snuggled up in a booth at Casa Vega restaurant with Martin’s arm lovingly draped over their shoulders.
Katie held his hand as they looked at each other adoringly inside the restaurant. ‘Happy birthday my (red heart emoji)!!!!!’ Katie, who was previously married to VPR alum Tom Schwartz, captioned the photo.
Katie confirmed her romance with Martin in October, but only shared a loving photo of their hands.

Martin re-shared the photo and added: “Our Casa Vega XMas card.”
Nick’s identity was first revealed by Katie’s Vanderpump Rules co-star Scheana Shay in October.
Katie first revealed that she had a boyfriend on October 16 while appearing on Dayna Kathan’s podcast Disrespectfully.
Katie decided not to reveal the identity of her new man, but Scheana revealed his name a week later on her Scheananigans podcast after meeting him.
Her new boyfriend arrives two years after she finalized her divorce from Tom Schwartz after six years of marriage.
During the podcast appearance on October 16, Katie revealed that she has a man in her life.
‘I have a boyfriend. Yes, I’m in love with everyone. I’m really happy.’
And he added: “He is the most wonderful person I have ever met.” “He’s very charming and he makes me feel very special and he’s very special and yes, I’m very happy.”
While she decided not to identify him, she added that she saw him over the weekend before his appearance on the podcast.
‘This weekend I went to see my boyfriend. He has to travel for work, so I went to meet him and spend some time with him.’
She continued: “It was really surprising because I hadn’t seen him in a few weeks and being able to spend quality time and just be around him was really necessary and really nice.”
A week later, Scheana told fans what they wanted to hear: who Katie’s boyfriend is.
Nick is the guitarist for the band Sleeping With Sirens, whose identity was first revealed by Katie’s Vanderpump Rules co-star Scheana Shay in October.

Meanwhile, Katie along with the rest of the original cast of Vanderpump Rules is saying goodbye to the Bravo series; the show recently announced that they will be moving forward with a new cast for the upcoming 12th season of the show.
Scheana said on her podcast that she met Katie’s boyfriend over the weekend, explaining, “I actually met him this weekend. We were all standing by the artists’ trailers in the meeting area, and he and Katie met. They approached while I was standing at the taco truck waiting in line for food.
“I said hello. “She introduced me to her boyfriend,” Scheana explained.
‘There’s been some stuff online recently. I have seen small fragments. But let me tell you, I couldn’t have been nicer. He’s from San Diego and we just talked about it. “Then I ran into them again later, at the hotel, at the end of the night, and he was a very sweet guy,” she said.
‘I caught the end of your series. We actually left Fall Out Boy a little early because they were playing at the same time. But I wanted to see Sleeping with Sirens. I wanted to see what the band was about. They were really good.’
Katie was previously linked to Love Island USA’s Connor Newsum in July.
She separated from her husband Tom Schwartz in March 2022 and finalized the divorce in September 2022.
