“She's an outstanding person,” “you've gotta ask her what's going on.”
Prior to dating Rozonda and after separation from Mariah Carey, Nick dated Nicole Mitchell Murphy (2015), Jessica White (2015), Heidi Klum (2015), and Sherise Cromwell (2015).

Rozonda is currently enjoying a single life but is open to dating. In an interview with PEOPLE in 2016, she talked about her dating status,
"These days, I’m so on the market. I’m not looking, but I’m definitely open to it for sure. We all want it, if it’s right; we all would love to have a good, healthy relationship.”
Rozonda further added that actor Chris Pine was her celebrity crush. She even wanted someone to start a rumor that the two have been dating and even share a child together.
“I want a rumor to be out there that Chris Pine and I had a baby!”
If the two start dating at some point, their bi-racial relationship will certainly a topic of attention and that's what Rozonda wants other black women to do. In recent days, Rozonda has been advocating bi-racial relationships and has even urged other black women to be more open while choosing a boyfriend.
Talking to Essence, the 51-year-old actress explained that many women especially black, were unable to find their soulmate as they always got stuck to a single group.
"I want for women — especially for women of color — to not be so closed minded when it comes to love. God made all of us and you may not find your husband because you’re trying to stick to one group. You’ve got to be open. You want the person who’s the best person for you, no matter what color he is.”
While dating a white guy or a Hispanic, or even an Asian guy will be new for Rozonda, she is not new to the dating game as she's had plenty of boyfriends in the past.
