Marcus And Nicole Have Never Confirmed Anything About Their Relationship Status
Marcus and Nicole’s dating rumor started in late 2024 after being seen mingling and having a great time at the DJ Khaled event.

A few days later, Nicole Murphy shared Instagram posts showcasing the view in Miami. One of her posts had the caption, “A good good night!“
