Inde Navarrette, who stars as Nikki in the indie horror film Obsession, has confirmed that she is dating musician Nick Aiello. The actor referred to Aiello as her “boyfriend” during her SNL monologue on October 31, turning months of speculation into a public confirmation.
It is unclear exactly when the pair began dating, as both have kept their personal lives relatively private. However, their relationship appears to date back at least to early 2026. Earlier in the spring, Navarrette and Aiello shared videos of themselves riding motorbikes in Thailand. A few weeks later, each included a close-up image of the other in the final slide of their respective Coachella photo collections.
Aiello also attended the Los Angeles special screening of Obsession with Navarrette, although they did not pose together on the red carpet. In May, they were photographed getting late-night tacos, and they have reportedly been seen together several times since.
Aiello is a singer-songwriter from San Diego who studied musical theater at the University of Michigan. He is also a close friend of Joshua Bassett, known for High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. The pair have performed together at Belly Up Tavern in San Diego.
In April, Bassett shared a photo featuring himself, Aiello, Navarrette and other friends aboard a Goodyear Blimp. Aiello released his debut EP, ILO, in February 2026 and has continued performing since then.
