Katie Maloney Sheds New Light on Her "Date" with Love Island USA's Connor Newsum
The Vanderpump Rules alum revealed why Connor may have "freaked out" after they were spotted together in 2024.
Katie Maloney set the record straight about her past relationship with Connor Newsum.
The pair sparked dating rumors roughly a year ago after they were spotted together at the Laurel Tavern in Studio City, California. Katie addressed the whispers in an August 2024 episode of Disrespectfully, a podcast she co-hosts with her good friend and fellow Vanderpump Rules alum Dayna Kathan.
“Do you wanna confirm or deny that you were on a date with someone?” Dayna asked. “You can plead the fifth.”
“Was I on a date? Listen, I didn’t obviously choose to put that out there,” Katie said, referring to the news reports about her and Connor’s outing. “I’m not going to deny anything… I don’t think it’s fair to be yapping about it.”
Katie Maloney theorizes why Connor Newsum "freaked out" after their date
Fast-forward to the July 15 episode of The Viall Files podcast, where Katie shed more light on her and Connor’s brief fling. At one point during the broadcast, host Nick Viall jokingly referred to Connor as Katie’s “ex,” which prompted the Utah native to clarify the nature of her and Connor's relationship.
“We went on one date. I didn’t even categorize it as that,” Katie said, referring to the “ex” label. “I did clock when he said — he was talking [in an interview] about someone that he was seeing. He’s like, ‘I’m not gonna say who it is… It got some attention.’”
Katie didn’t provide specifics, but indicated Connor wasn’t pleased with all the headlines surrounding their date.
“Somebody told on us at the bar we went to,” she said. “He definitely freaked out about it.”
Connor, who appeared in Love Island USA Season 6, recently confirmed his relationship with fellow Love Island-er Carmen Kocourek (Season 5). Connor dropped the news in a July 2 Instagram post, which he simply captioned, “an update.” The carousel featured various date night photos, including one of Connor kissing a smiling Carmen on the cheek.
Katie Maloney enters a relationship with rock musician Nick Martin
Months after her date with Connor, Katie revealed she was romantically involved with Nick Martin, the guitarist for Sleeping with Sirens. Katie addressed the ongoing relationship in the April 14 episode of Humble Brag, hosted by The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Cynthia Bailey and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Crystal Kung Minkoff.
The former SUR-ver said she met Nick during a 2024 trip to Las Vegas, and immediately hit it off with the musician.
“We just became friends, and we went [for] coffee one day,” she said. “He had just started going through a divorce, and then started kind of seeing someone else. But we maintained friends through that and really got to know each other.”
