Nathan Griffith’s new relationship is raising both eyebrows AND concerns (again) after the former Teen Mom 2 dad revealed this week that he and his 21-year-old girlfriend are now physically shielding each other from seeing sexual content on TV and in movies so that their eyes remain pure and only for each other.
No, seriously…
As The Ashley told you last week, Nathan– the legally challenged father of Jenelle Evans’ middle son Kaiser– recently returned to social media with a new– and much younger– girlfriend, whom he has been obsessively posting about on an almost daily basis.
While partaking in his latest hobby of love-bombing his young girlfriend on social media, the 37-year-old shared a photo of himself and his new gal pal, each using a hand to cover the other’s eyes, claiming it was something that “started as a joke” but is now something they do regularly so that they don’t see anything sexual.
“ … We decided to do it because we don’t want to be polluted,” Nathan explained. “She covered my eyes during a sexual content scene of a woman and the very next scene it was a guy. So, now we just do it every movie we watch because yes, we have a past (which we don’t talk about) but we don’t need to go any further than that besides each other now.
“Our eyes are meant for each other,” he added.
Nate has been singing his current soulmate’s praises ad nauseam since late December, often posting photos and videos of the two accompanied by lengthy declarations of love… and more red flags than a bullfighting competition.
In addition to promising his new lady friend that he’ll “be a better man” for her, he’s also admitted multiple times to being “obsessed” with the girl and insisting she’s the love of his life.
The loved-up pair have also taken to sharing their “passion” for one another with the public, as seen in their TMI gym selfies and dinner outings. (And, yes, that’s Little Miss Pink Bow legit sitting on Nathan as he does bench presses in the gym…as you do.)
In an effort to presumably prove that their relationship is built to last, Nate and his soulmate of the season appear to have also gotten matching kiss tattoos recently, with Nate opting to get the ink on his upper arm/front of shoulder area and his just-old-enough-to-legally-drink girlfriend getting hers on her backside.
“ … I’m absolutely crazy about you and will do anything for you to prove it!” Nathan captioned the matching tat pics. “It’s a love that means more than love itself. It is a depth deeper than the ocean and as vast as the stars above … .”
As The Ashley previously told you, Nate took to The Interwebs earlier this week with a cringey post proclaiming his new boo as his “twin flame.”
That particular “WTF?”-inducing post came less than a week after he hopped onto Instagram Live to ramble/dole out questionable relationship advice to the masses. During the Live, Nate touted the fact that neither he nor his girlfriend follow members of the opposite sex on social media (aside from each other) and bragged that they basically never leave each other’s side.
“Call us crazy, call us obsessive, but I’m absolutely in love with her and I don’t think our relationship is toxic,” Nathan said, before revealing that he and his girlfriend are also in possession of each other’s social media passwords.
“It’s absolutely not crazy because in a relationship you don’t need privacy. Why do you need privacy?” Nathan asked. “If you’re really obsessed with that person, there should be no alibi why they should go behind your back on Snapchat or Instagram or Facebook.
“And I thought it was toxic in the beginning, but out of 10 years– me being 37 years-old– I’ve never had nobody control my Instagram and I love that she controls my Instagram,” he added.
Nathan also reiterated on the Live that he believes the person you date should have “total control over what you do, who you see, who you follow and everything,” claiming it’s not a sign of control, but rather an indication that “they love you and they care about you and they’re concerned.”
As if Nathan’s concerning social media content as of late (or ever, tbh) isn’t enough of a reason to wave the biggest red flag that one can find, it’s worth noting that he’s also still legally married to estranged wife, May Oyola, and only recently got off probation after pleading guilty in 2023 to attacking his own sister via attempted assault by strangulation.
Last year, the father of two in name only was thrown out of the Veteran’s Court program that he had been sentenced to in 2023 for not “adhering to the program rules and policies.” Nathan was sentenced in July to yet another trip to a residential treatment facility, despite proving to be unsuccessful in several court-ordered rehab programs since his original arrest. Nathan only recently completed the terms of his sentence.

Wasn’t the wording “twin flame” used on some weird netflix documentation? Oo (sry, English is not my first language so maybe I missed the word used somewhere else too)
Too bad he’s not “obsessed” with his two kids he doesn’t even see or talk to on the phone.
This girl is going to be seriously hurt (mentally, emotionally and physically) by Nathan, mark my words.
Nathan doesn’t disappoint, once a vile piece of shit, always a vile piece of shit.
Not trying to be mean, but I’m genuinely asking why Nathan’s girlfriend looks like a completely different person in every single photo? Maybe lay off the filters a bit.
Chaos with this couple is going to be expected in 2025, as these sort of relationship standards are weird and controlling.
I’d only he could give a fraction of this attention to his kid. The one he was soo concerned about back when he was in rehab. It’s like he got out of rehab and forgot all that and forgot his kid even exists.
I hope this doesn’t end badly for the girl. Like if I knew a guy had a history of strangling someone, I wouldn’t be lining up to be alone with them let alone date them.
Love how the dumb-ass says “I will do anything to prove my love to her.” Gee idiot, maybe you should try proving some of that love to your son who has suffered from abuse since he was a baby!!!!
It’s crazy that he lives in the same city as Kaiser and has not made any effort to see him but yet he can have a wife and a girlfriend at the same time
He really is the worst in so many ways. To quote Babs on her mini special awhile back where she went on an anti-Nathan rant, “He’s like an A-1 asshole.” In the years that have passed, he’s only become considerably worse. Like Babs said, all about himself – zero concern for or interest in his children. Now he has zero excuse since he’s in the same city as his son, but he’s so dysfunctional that he can’t handle women and his child at once. Booo – POS!!!
I just really hope she gets out of this okay, both mentally and physically. It’s just not the huge age, but he’s almost 40. And she’s barely into her 20s. That is two way different eras of a person’s life, and *most* people are just beginning to figure out their adult selves at her age. Nathan, like Jenelle, just seem stuck in arrested development.
Then you have the strangulation which men who strangle are the most dangerous dangerous offenders, like it’s goes up a crazy 750% chance of being killed by the abuser.
And then you have this bullshit, this is incredibly immature and seems more akin to something middle school/high schoolers would do. Especially at his age, knowing his history of violence and instability. It’s just really concerning. I hope she has a good friends/family who will tell her than this is not healthy or normal.
And we’re just randos on the internet who are very afraid for her safety.
Oh this is not going to end well. Yikes!
How about spending time on being a better father to your kids? Your son is in distress, act like a father!
Why not just watch shows that don’t have that content? Seriously though, this relationship is beyond messed up
i’m convinced something’s wrong with her too to be going along with this and to be with a way older guy with a past like his but besides that why is nathan acting like a 15 year old who’s in love for the first time with these cringey posts 😭😂
This young lady’s loved ones must be horrified. A two second search of Nathan shows how violent he is with women. Unfortunately, when someone is blinded by “love”, they don’t listen to warnings from family and friends who are genuinely concerned. Odds are very low her loved ones approve of Nathan. Hopefully she wakes up soon and gets the heck away from scary and violent Nathan.
That’s what I thought too, really hope she has a good support system and he won’t be able to isolate her from them.
I bet he doesn’t hide his eyes when he strangles and beats multiple women. I don’t know why he is pretending to be an alter boy now.
