Nickelodeon’s biggest breakout stars have love lives that rival their on-screen storylines.

TheThings’ new rundown, “10 Guys The Nickelodeon Girls Are Dating In Real Life,” pulls back the curtain on the actual boyfriends behind the network’s most recognizable young actresses. The video leans hardest on two storylines: Ariana Grande’s very public relationship with rapper Mac Miller, and Henry Danger star Jace Norman’s whirlwind year of teen romance headlines. Both threads show how quickly off-screen dating news travels for stars who built their fame on a kids’ network.

• Ariana Grande, who broke out as Cat Valentine on Victorious and Sam & Cat, went public with Mac Miller in late 2016 after a previous high-profile relationship with rapper Big Sean.
• Jace Norman, the lead of Henry Danger, dated 100 Things to Do Before High School star Isabela Moner for seven months before the couple confirmed their split in late 2016.
• By March 2017, Norman was at the center of rumored-romance buzz involving Instant Mom and The Walking Dead actress Sydney Park.

Ariana Grande’s Path From Cat Valentine To Pop Superstar

Grande’s transition from Nickelodeon sketch comedy to headlining arenas has made every relationship she’s had a story in its own right, and the video treats her romance with Mac Miller as the centerpiece example of that crossover. The two went public in late 2016, a pairing that came after Grande’s widely covered relationship with Big Sean. For a channel built on tween sitcoms, having one of its former leads dating a chart-topping rapper is exactly the kind of contrast the video is built around — the distance between a Nickelodeon role and the real-life dating pool that fame actually opens up.

That gap between “kids’ show alum” and “adult celebrity dating life” is a recurring theme across other entertainment coverage of former teen stars, too, similar to how outlets have tracked Megan Fox’s relationship history long after her early breakout roles.

Jace Norman’s Very Public Teenage Relationship

Norman’s situation is the more classic teen-idol arc. His relationship with Isabela Moner ran seven months and was tracked closely by young fans before the pair confirmed they’d split in late 2016. That kind of scrutiny is standard for Nickelodeon’s biggest current names — a seven-month relationship between two rising stars becomes fan-tracked news in a way it wouldn’t for actors outside the network’s fanbase.

By March 2017, speculation had shifted entirely toward a new rumored pairing: Jace Norman and Sydney Park.

Park, known for Instant Mom and her role on The Walking Dead, became the subject of dating rumors with Norman just months after his split from Moner became official — a fast turnaround that kept his name in the same kind of relationship-tracking coverage that follows other young stars navigating fame early, the same dynamic covered in pieces like the untold truth of Danielle Jonas.

Roster Insights From Nick’s Pairings

Stack the two storylines side by side and the video’s real point comes through: Nickelodeon’s female stars are dating across very different tiers of fame. Grande’s arc runs through arena tours and chart-topping rappers; Norman’s runs through the same fishbowl of teen-network dating rumors that fans of the channel have followed for years. The video frames both as part of the same phenomenon — real relationships that mirror, and sometimes outpace, the on-screen stardom that made these actors famous in the first place.

Whether the Norman-Park rumors solidify into anything more than speculation is still an open question as of the video’s release — but for a fanbase that tracked a seven-month relationship down to its breakup date, that’s exactly the kind of update they’ll be watching for next.
