Copy link
Nina Agdal may be a gorgeous Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, but she also has a complicated dating life, just like the rest of us. From a secretive A-list romance to an unexpected YouTube engagement, Agdal's dating life has been full of ups and downs - even glamazons deal with disappointing break-ups and judgmental haters.
The Denmark native has always recovered from break-ups with grace, but that hasn't stopped her fans from speculating about her secretive love life.
Who has the swimsuit model dated? Which Oscar-winning actor stole her heart? And which controversial YouTuber proposed to her? Find out below.
How They Met: How do a Danish Sports Illustrated model and a controversial YouTuber/wrestler end up together? According to Logan Paul, he was first charmed by Agdal when he was a teenager. “I was just a cringy, corny, online Internet kid, and here she is, like the hottest girl on the planet,” Paul said on his podcast, Impaulsive. He wanted to hire her for a YouTube project, but she turned him down because - as Agdal herself said on the podcast - “[he] was way too cheap.” She was also wary of his reputation. “I wasn’t sure I wanted to be associated with that,” she admitted.
They reconnected some time later, and Paul was immediately smitten. “We’re kind of the same person,” he told Graham Bensinger. “We’re just perfect for each other. We get along, we get each other, we have so much fun.”
Current Relationship Status: Things obviously worked out between the pair, as they got engaged in 2023 and announced a pregnancy one year later.

How They Met: In typical Leonardo DiCaprio fashion, the world only found out about the actor's romance with then-24-year-old Agdal when paparazzi captured photos of the couple cuddling and kissing on the beach. Sources told E! News that DiCaprio and Agdal's relationship was just a fling, but by 2016, the couple were allegedly getting more serious. A source told People, “Leo seems very into her… Whenever they spend time together, Leo acts very happy. For Leo, Nina seems like a breath of fresh air.” Still, it’s possible that the couple were on and off again between 2014 and 2016, as evidenced by Agdal’s quick exit when she and DiCaprio showed up to the same club in 2016.
Current Relationship Status: By 2017, the couple had gone their separate ways. “It is amicable. They remain friends,” a source told People.

Jack Brinkley-Cook
How They Met: Jack Brinkley-Cook and Nina Agdal have something in common, besides their incredibly good looks. Cook is the son of supermodel Christie Brinkley, who is well-known for gracing the covers of multiple Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues - much like Agdal herself. Although the relationship allegedly began as a summer fling, it ended up spanning the course of four years.
Current Relationship Status: The couple broke up for good in 2021. Neither gave an explanation for the break-up, but they deleted photos of each other off of their Instagram accounts, according to People.
Ben Kaplan
How They Met: Agdal briefly dated Ben Kaplan, a businessman known for launching the card game What Do You Meme?, in 2022. This may seem like a strange pairing to some, but Agdal has been open about her love of a wild sense of humor. “I love people that can laugh in good situations, bad situations, and I just love weirdness,” she told W Magazine in 2016. So the fact that she and Kaplan were spotted hand-in-hand at LAX in 2022 doesn't come as a huge surprise.
Current Relationship Status: It’s unclear how long Agdal and Kaplan were together, but it couldn't have been very long, as Agdal started dating Logan Paul in 2022.
