Despite their breakup being well in the past, Georgia McCann’s ex-boyfriend Omar Zaki has continued to be a major source of drama for her on Next Gen NYC Season 2.
How to Watch
Next Gen NYCÂ airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.Â
In Episode 4 (streaming on Peacock beginning July 16), for example, Georgia opened up to her cousin Gordon about how “rough” the aftermath her and Omar’s “messy” split had truly been. “I don’t think I was as transparent as I could’ve been about how traumatizing the last relationship I was in was,” Georgia shared. “The breakup coincided with, like, me not knowing what I wanted to do, like, with, you know, not the rest of my life, but the next like two to three years of my life.”
Georgia said that she had also experienced a “pretty bad depression,” in addition to completing inpatient treatment for an eating disorder, post-split. “I mean, the breakup was sort of a catalyst, but there was, like, so much going on. I was, like, not leaving the apartment,” she added. “I’m really good now, but it took a lot.”
This was not the first time that Omar, who returned to Next Gen NYC in Season 2, Episode 2, was the topic of conversation recently, including when Georgia claimed that he and Charlie Zakkour were “stealing” her business idea. Read on for everything to know about Omar and Georgia’s tumultuous relationship.
When did Georgia McCann and Omar Zaki start dating?
Though Georgia and Omar dated throughout Season 1 of Next Gen NYC, she announced that they’d officially became an “exclusive” couple during the finale, which was primarily filmed during the summer of 2024.
While kicking off the Season 1 finale, Georgia explained to Charlie that she’d been “cagey” about putting a label on their relationship “for a while.” At the time, she said that she’d been single for five years but ultimately felt that she and Omar were “good for each other.”
In addition to being Georgia’s boyfriend, Omar, who works as a venture capitalist, was also Georgia’s business partner, at the time. As she prepared for a trial run of her bowling alley-themed “Club Club,” she explained to a producer. “I’m bringing, like, the idea, the creative, the team, eventually, and Omar’s coming in and he’s gonna invest and find other investors as well.”

As Omar reminded Georgia, “Again, it’s not like I’m just writing a blank check. This is a venture. Like, we need to convince other people to do it. Regardless of our relationship, they will ask about your track record as well.”
Later in the same episode, Georgia and Omar took another major step in their relationship. “Omar and I decided to move in together because we had been spending every day together,” she said in a confessional. “It kind of just made sense.”
When did Georgia McCann and Omar Zaki break up?
A post-filming update revealed that Georgia and Omar broke up while vacationing in Singapore over the Christmas 2024 holiday.Â
Why did Georgia McCann and Omar Zaki break up?
Georgia explained in a TikTok that was shown in the finale, “Life is so funny. One day you’re living in a $10,000-a-month apartment. You’re with this man who you think you’re gonna marry. You get into a fight one night, and he cuts you off financially.”
In a confessional, she elaborated, “Shocking turn of events, Charlie and I are roommates. … [Omar] had his assistant pack up my belongings, and my stuff was packed and outside of Charlie’s apartment before I even got back to the U.S. I was still in Singapore.”
Afterward, Georgia shared more details on her and Omar’s breakup in an exclusive interview with Bravo Insider. “The breakup with Omar was logistically rough because we were living together and the end was quite messy,” she said. “I’m doing well now and focusing on my dream life and not [living] vicariously through someone else.”
As for her and Omar’s professional partnership in opening a New York City nightclub, Georgia added, “There was some drama with that once the breakup with Omar happened; it’s a long story. I have the renders that are solely based on my creative direction and club ethos that look fabulous — the concept was based on my experience!”
What happened to Georgia McCann and Omar Zaki?
Fast-forward to the Next Gen NYC Season 2 premiere, and Georgia and Omar’s proposed Club Club partnership was still a major source of contention. In Episode 2, Georgia explained that Omar and Charlie were planning to open a club together, before going on to claim that the two were “stealing [her] business idea and creative” concept, in the process.
She further unpacked her issue with Omar and Charlie for some of her castmates later on, telling them, “They met three f–king times before we broke up. And then we break up, and Charlie and Omar are texting, texting. And I’m like, ‘Are you talking to my ex?’ No, I haven’t spoken to him. Meanwhile, they’re stealing my company, they’re stealing my club idea, and lying to my face the whole time.”

Charlie, for his part, denied Georgia’s claim about his and Omar’s business plan. “It’s not a f–king bowling alley,” he stated in a confessional. “It has absolutely nothing to do with anything she delusionally thinks she has creative ownership over.”
On the Next Gen NYC After Show, Georgia clarified that, even if Omar and Charlie’s club did not include a bowling alley, they were still using her plan for a three-floor venue, featuring a members-only club on the top level. What’s more, she alleged that Omar never even terminated their business partnership in an official sense anyway.
“If you use the word partner … there’s a lot of legal connotations that come with that in New York,” she added. “Technically, anything he does in the events, nightlife, club space, I am entitled to a lot of equity and compensation.”
In his own separate Next Gen NYC After Show update, however, Charlie said that he and Omar were only “floating the idea of opening a club” and had already “pivoted away” from the member-only lounge idea. He concluded, “Any hospitality-related venture that [Omar] and I will end up doing, or may end up doing, is going to be distinctly different from Georgia’s idea of bowling alley Club Club.”
As she continues to navigate the drama with her ex and Charlie on Next Gen NYC Season 2, get details on Georgia’s relationship with her new, “crypto-adjacent” boyfriend, Prez.
