Obsession star Inde Navarrette has stepped out with singer-songwriter Nick Aiello, who is now being reported as her boyfriend, following her casting as Rogue in Marvel’s upcoming X-Men Reboot. While fans have been busy discussing her casting and imagining her take on the iconic mutant, the actress has also been making headlines for her relationship with singer-songwriter Nick Aiello.

The pair has kept their romance relatively low-key, but their appearances together throughout 2026 have given fans plenty to talk about. Most recently, Navarrette and Aiello were photographed holding hands while leaving Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles following a dinner date, shortly after news of her Marvel casting broke. But who exactly is the man linked to the rising Obsession star?

Nick Aiello is a singer-songwriter and performer from San Diego who studied musical theater at the University of Michigan. His music combines indie, pop, and folk influences, with an emphasis on emotional storytelling, and he released his debut EP, ILO, in February 2026. He is also known for his close friendship and musical collaborations with actor and singer Joshua Bassett. Aiello has been performing regularly, building a growing presence in the indie music scene while keeping much of his personal life out of the spotlight.

Nick Aiello is also close friends with actor and musician Joshua Bassett, and the two have performed together. His connection with Navarrette has become increasingly visible this year, with the pair appearing in each other’s social media posts, traveling together in Thailand, attending Coachella, and being spotted at events and casual outings in Los Angeles. While neither has publicly detailed their relationship, recent reports have referred to Aiello as Navarrette’s boyfriend.

With Navarrette’s personal life suddenly drawing attention alongside her biggest career announcement yet, fans have also been dissecting another major question: how did she end up becoming Marvel’s new Rogue?

It is no secret that Marvel had been interested in Navarrette for its upcoming X-Men Reboot. However, many fans initially believed the actress was being considered for Mystique, the shapeshifting mutant who has been central to the franchise for decades. Inde Navarrette had previously spoken about meeting director Jake Schreier and expressing interest in playing Mystique, fueling speculation online. At the same time, reports suggested that Cailee Spaeny was being considered for Rogue, leading fans to imagine the Priscilla and Civil War star in the role.

That speculation was turned upside down when Marvel announced Navarrette as Rogue. The casting surprised some fans who had already become attached to the idea of Spaeny playing the power-absorbing mutant, sparking plenty of online discussion about Marvel’s choices and the future of the X-Men franchise.

Between landing one of Marvel’s most recognizable mutant characters and stepping out with her rumored boyfriend, Navarrette is having a particularly headline-making moment. Her transition from Obsession breakout to Marvel superhero marks a major career milestone, while her connection with Aiello continues to intrigue fans. As the actress prepares to bring Rogue to the big screen, both her professional and personal lives are clearly entering a new era.
