As the winner of the show, Nigel Xavier has stolen the spotlight and the hearts of fans across the globe. Inevitably, fans have been wanting to know more about his private life, who he is dating, and what he is splashing the Next In Fashion prize money on.
Fans claim that sparks began to fly between the duo during the 5th challenge when they teamed up together. The challenge was titled Collaboration, and the duo formed a great pairing as they designed two looks; playing to both of their strengths – denim, and fringes.
Their bond continued as they both moved through to the next round, but sadly it ended shortly after when Amari was eliminated.
Even Gigi Hadid saw the spark as she was seen swooning over their allyship. Fans on Twitter have praised Hadid for playing cupid and being the duo’s “wing woman.”
Are Nigel and Amari from Next In Fashion dating?
No, Neither Nigel nor Amari has confirmed that they are dating and their relationship appears to be mere speculation. Undoubtedly there is a connection between the pair but it seems their bond is purely platonic. As Amari even confessed on the show that they were best friends.
However, the duo could be a match made in heaven as Nigel is from Atlanta and Amari is also an Atlanta-Based Designer.
Amari is renowned for her lingerie designs and minimalist details as she studied at The London College Of Fashion. Whereas Nigel is a former high school football player, who now creates designs for prolific rappers, like ASAP Rocky, and specializes in denim and patchwork.
