Who Is Rehab Addict's Nicole Curtis Dating Now?

The Rehab Addict star subsequently confirmed, in an interview with People, that she and Ryan Sawtelle have actually been seeing each other for over a year. Curtis's new man is the founder and Executive Director of military non-profit organization White Heart Foundation; the two met when Curtis began following Sawtelle's Instagram posts about his niece's battle with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), an aggressive brain tumor found in children. 

Curtis knew what Sawtelle would be going through given her previous experience with Tessa, the daughter of her lead builder, who had stage 4 Neuroblastoma at the age of 9. As reported by People at the time, Curtis rallied around Tessa and her family to spread awareness of this devastating strain of pediatric cancer. Unfortunately Tessa, like Sawtelle's niece, subsequently passed away. 

The HGTV star reached out to Sawtelle, offering her support. They soon met up and clicked instantly. Reminiscing on their year together, Curtis told People, "My heart is happy and having him near me brings a calm I've never known. I've been on my own so long that I never take a second of this for granted. He's handsome, he makes me proud, he makes me laugh and we sing every song that comes on together!"
