Are Joseph Baena and Nicky Dodaj still together?

Nicky Dodaj is an Albanian-American co-founder and creative director of the athletic and leisure brand, Malibu Juice Club. Dodaj did her MBA from Pepperdine Graziadio Business School and is currently working as an intern at Relevant Group as per her LinkedIn profile. Well, Dodaj came in limelight for dating Baena. They both attended Pepperdine University and started dating each other at the same. Ever since graduating, they were often caught together syncing matching outfits, going on dates, partying, and hanging around together.

In February 2021, the couple celebrated their second anniversary. However, now it seems that they have broken apart. As per Baena and Dodaj’s social profiles, they don’t have any pictures of theirs together. Baena and Dodaj are not even seen tagged in each other’s posts and now the news of seeing them together is not surfacing anywhere. However, the individuals didn’t announce anything about their split.



 

In late 2020, Baena was seen hinting that he has split with his then-girlfriend Dodaj. He tweeted, "Training shoulders today because I didn’t have hers to cry on." Well, this led to the fans speculate that Baena has broken up with Dodaj. However, the reality star later covered the gossip by tweeting various other similar quotes like, "Training legs tomorrow because I can’t stand the pain."



 

As of now, Baena is focusing on Disney+’s show ‘Dancing with the Stars.' The show is scheduled to release on September 19 at 8/7c
