Nia Moore and Jordan Wiseley have developed a close relationship
When viewers last saw Nia Moore on The Challenge, she got disqualified shortly before competing in the Battle of the Exes 2 (2015) finals for assaulting Jordan Wiseley.
The two had a volatile relationship from their reality TV debut on The Real World: Portland (2013). Therefore, they were surprised to see her make her return seven years later, on Jordan’s arm.
The two admitted to having pent-up “sexual tension” between them and seemed to hook up during All Stars 3.
Additionally, they worked closely together in the house, and he encouraged her when Sylvia Elsrode surprisingly called her out for elimination. Adversely, she was devastated when he went home the following week.
Nia confirmed she and Jordan are ‘not dating’
In a June 2022 interview with AfterBuzz TV, she spoke about her strong relationship with Jordan.
The Georgia native explained the All Stars producers made her “feel very comfortable” with the experience, namely in how it differed from the flagship series, but admittedly didn’t care to compete.
However, she changed her mind after talking with Jordan, in which he revealed he would join the cast. Nia also acknowledged their close relationship but promised they “are not dating.”
She referred to him as “one of the greatest loves of my life in terms of men in my life” and reiterated how much she loves him. Although the two-time competitor noted they both want each other to find happiness, they don’t believe it’s with each other. “We’re not compatible dating-wise,” she added.
Many fans thought Nia and Jordan had a romance prior to ‘The Challenge: All Stars 3’
Jordan and Nia met in 2013 while on The Real World: Portland, where the rivals got into explosive arguments. In one notable exchange, he used the “n-word” and made monkey noises at his co-star.
Their rivalry continued into The Challenge, which eventually crossed the line, resulting in her disqualification. In 2020, after MTV publicly cut ties with Dee Nguyen for insensitive comments about the Black Lives Matter movement, many fans began calling for the network to do the same with Jordan.
Following the backlash, Nia defended him, as they had since become friends after she left the reality TV community. The pair went on Instagram Live together to explain they had since moved on from their past and developed a friendship. After he and fianceé Tori Deal called off their engagement in November 2020, Jordan revealed he began dating someone familiar to The Challenge audience in an interview with Danny Pellegrino.
Shortly later, Nia uploaded a picture of her kissing Jordan’s cheek, fueling rumors the two had begun dating. Many fans continued believing the pair are more than friends due to their close bond on All Stars 3 continued relationship after the show. For example, they appeared together at co-star Kam Williams and Leroy Garrett’s baby shower. However, Nia has confirmed she and Jordan aren’t dating and are only friends. The Challenge: All Stars 3 airs Wednesdays on Paramount+.
