Nick Maccarone is known for his time as a houseguest on the 21st season of Big Brother US, and for having romantic relations with other contestants.
Maccarone, a therapist from New Jersey, shot to fame when he appeared on Big Brother back in 2019. He was one of the house’s most controversial contestants, and was never one to shy away from drama. His confident, outgoing nature meant that he always spoke his mind, forming alliances early on and proving himself as one of the most strategic members of the house. Once he entered the house he formed a romantic relationship with Isabella Wang, another competitor, but when she was evicted he quickly moved on to other housemates including Analyse Talavera and Kathryn Dunn. He placed overall eighth in the series, after a few weeks of playing off both sides of the house against each other and looking like he might go all the way to winning the series. Maccarone became known as a big character in the house, dividing fans who were split between loving his larger than life personality and calling him out on social media for his outbursts.
Since leaving the house Maccarone was in a high profile relationship with housemate Kathryn Dunn, but the pair split in early 2020. He has also starred in a music video alongside Todrick Hall, represents brands online as an Instagram influencer and continues to make appearances on talk shows.
