Vanderpump Rules alum Katie Maloney is having some fun in the sun with her rock musician boyfriend, Nick Martin, and she’s not afraid of catching rays in a stunning bikini while doing it.
Katie sported a smoldering string bikini during a tropical getaway with Nick and friends in the Turks and Caicos, as seen in a handful of her Instagram Stories. One snap showed the couple sharing a kiss as they stood in the Caribbean blue waters, and another “DND” (Do Not Disturb) photo offered Katie’s POV of the sea as she relaxed on a pink-striped towel under a canopy. Nick shared the former, adding “Love my girl,” driving home their PDA.
Katie later revealed the trip turned into a “surprise 40th” birthday party, joined by longtime BFF and Something About Her sandwich shop co-owner, Ariana Madix (plus her boyfriend, Dan). Katie’s Disrespectfully podcast co-host, Dayna Kathan, also made the epic trip and didn’t miss out on getting a perfect tan.
During the day, the group headed out to the ocean on what appeared to be a catamaran over the turquoise waters, and by night, they celebrated Katie on the beach with balloons and disco balls. Palm trees, wine on the beach, and Katie’s see-through beach getup only added to a most luxurious island vaycay. When sharing a photo of Katie in her see-through look, Nick added a sweating emoji and a heart emoji over the photo.

Nick didn’t miss Katie’s actual Jan. 16 birthday, however, and he made sure to gush over her for the big 4-0. “Happy birthday to the love of my life,” Nick wrote. “Appreciative every single day that you were brought into this world & that I get to share this life with you. You’ve brought an immense amount of light & love into mine — and I know I speak for countless others that you have done the same for them. I love you so much.”

Katie began dating the Sleeping with Sirens guitarist in October 2024, two years after her divorce from Vanderpump Rules alum and one of The Valley’s newest additions, Tom Schwartz. Already, Nick has not just won over the heart of the former SUR-ver but earned major brownie points with Katie’s mom, Teri Maloney.

Katie and the rock musician have put their love on display nearly every step of the way, from Nick professing that he was “falling harder and harder for [Katie] by the day” to full-on being in love.
And, of course, the feeling is mutual, as evidenced by Katie’s tribute to Nick on his 43rd birthday in December. “Happy Birthday to My Churro!” she wrote in the Dec. 10 Instagram post. “I’m so happy you were born. The most special guy, who deserves to be celebrated every day. Thank you for changing my life. I love you more than words.”
