DJ Pauly D and Nikki Hall, the couple who met on MTV’s Double Shot at Love in 2019, remain one of reality TV’s enduring love stories. The pair has been together for over four years and currently shares a home in Las Vegas. Their relationship, which blossomed after Nikki returned for the show’s second season in 2020, has been characterized by mutual support and personal growth.
Pauly, 44, has described his relationship with Nikki as transformative. On a recent episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, he reflected on how his mentality shifted after meeting her. “Something just clicks in your mind when it’s time to turn down the single life,” he said. “I’m grateful and thankful for her. She has those caring and nurturing vibes and family values.”
Despite the challenges of his demanding career as a DJ, Pauly credits Nikki for grounding him. “I’m not an easy guy to date because I’m never really home,” he admitted during a September 2023 episode. Yet, their connection has endured, marking the longest relationship Pauly has ever had.
Nikki, for her part, appreciates the balance in their dynamic. She has mentioned enjoying the independence she gains when Pauly is on the road, allowing her to focus on her bikini line business.
The couple’s journey hasn’t always been straightforward. While they connected quickly during Double Shot at Love, they didn’t officially start dating until the show’s second season. By 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, they decided to move in together, solidifying their bond.
Nikki’s return to Jersey Shore: Family Vacation in its current season has brought their relationship back into the spotlight. While she rarely appears on the show, her presence signals the strength of their partnership as they continue building their life together in Las Vegas.
Pauly’s rare comments about settling down reflect his appreciation for Nikki and their shared future. “With Nikki, we clicked so fast,” he said. “She changed my mentality, and I’m done with the ‘ratchet life.’”
As they navigate life together, Pauly and Nikki seem to be a testament to the idea that love can thrive in the public eye—with the right person by your side. For now, the answer to whether they’re still together is a resounding yes.
