Nick’s been in many relationships on The Young and the Restless. But his most popular pairings are with Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). Nick and Sharon’s love story began in 1994. Opposites attracted for the rich boy and the girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
The young lovers were modeled to become the next super couple. Like many couples, they had their share of drama but worked through it. However, their daughter Cassie Newman’s (Camryn Grimes) death destroyed the couple.
Nick sought solace from Phyllis, and they began a torrid affair. When Nick and Phyllis’ affair was exposed, Sharon divorced him, and Nick was free to marry Phyllis, who was pregnant with his child. The Sharon, Nick, and Phyllis love triangle is one of the show’s best storylines.

“That’s asking me to step on a land mine. I recently started my 29th year on Y&R, and Nick has been with Sharon half of those years and Phyllis for the other half, so I can’t just say one.”
Morrow explained that Nick’s relationship with both women were different. “Nick and Sharon were each other’s first love that started in a really beautiful, innocent way,” the actor said. “They’ve been through so much, and there’s no question that they will always love each other.”
Nick’s relationship with Phyllis was the opposite of what he had with Sharon. “Nick and Phyllis are crazy about each other, and they’ve got this electricity between them that’s rare. Their relationship came out of nowhere and shocked everyone, and for some reason, they get each other.”
