Her new partner, Jessica Betts, is a musician and cast member of Claws. According to her IMDb, she played the character Nadege during a season 2 episode of the series. The artist shared her own upload of the same photo as her new wife, exclaiming “I got a whole Wife” and using the hashtag #BettsOfBothWorlds.
Along with the outdoor wedding grid upload, Nash took to Instagram Story to feature music from her and Betts as well as another photo of the couple with the hashtag #PlotTwist with the rainbow emoji. The pair have shared images and traded comments on social media, without confirming a romantic relationship.
In February, Betts shared a birthday post to her new wife, not mentioning whether or not the two were a couple, but calling her “a real one.” Back in 2018, she shared how Nash was “anointed and appointed,” sharing behind-the-scenes photos from their shared set.
