It’s no secret Nic and Stella have grown very close while filming this season of My Kitchen Rules.
Now Woman’s Day can reveal tasty food isn’t all that’s heating up in the kitchen.
Sources claim the friendship between the Italian caterer and the WA waitress is intensifying as Nic jetted off to Perth last week to attend Stella’s birthday.
In fact, according to our source, Nic even stayed in Stella’s home city for a few days afterwards to spend as much quality time with her before flying back to Sydney.
From the outset fans saw the attraction between Nic, 33, and Stella, 22, with Stella and her best bud turned teammate, Jazzey, even clearing the brothers’ plates just to introduce themselves to siblings Nic and Josh.
While Stella recently revealed her relationship with her boyfriend crumbled under the pressure of filming the Seven show, Nic is in a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend of four years, Molly.
