Victoria Newman and Nate Hastings grow closer on ‘The Young and the Restless’

After her sham marriage to her late ex-husband Ashland Locke (Robert Newman), Victoria wants to forget about men. She’s thrown herself into work at Newman Enterprises. One of Victoria’s changes is making Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) the new CEO of Newman Media.

Victoria and Nate’s partnership is off to a good start as they collaborate. Although Victoria has a reputation as an Ice Queen, Nate sees her as a good person. As the two work together, their working relationship will be altered.

According to Soaps.com, The Young and the Restless speculation is that Victoria and Nate will become a couple.

A romance between Victoria Newman and Nate Hastings was teased years earlier

When Nate accepted Victoria’s job offer, it was apparent a romance would be coming for the duo. The writers are slowly setting up a Victoria and Nate hookup. But the two would’ve become a couple if they had played their cards right four years earlier.

In 2018, Victoria had PTSD from her ordeal with her ex-husband J.T. Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill). After J.T.’s “death”, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) became worried about her daughter’s well-being. Nikki sought Nate’s assistance in helping Victoria.

Although the Newman heiress was reluctant, she opened up to Nate about her situation with J.T. Victoria, and Nate grew closer through their therapy and gym sessions. While it looked like the two were headed for romance, the writers dropped the storyline.

Nate went on to date Victoria’s sister Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) and is now with Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy). Meanwhile, Victoria’s reunion with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and her marriage to Ashland failed. Although Victoria missed out on her chance with Nate, she now has an opportunity to pursue a romance.

Victoria and Nate have the potential to be a power couple on The Young and the Restless. The two are intelligent, career-oriented people, so it’s no surprise they’re attracted to each other. Yet, Victoria and Nate’s relationship will create drama.
