Relationship with Jacob Payne

Natalie met Jacob Payne, a professional football player, in 2011. The couple began dating that same year and were married in 2012. Since then, their relationship has been under frequent public scrutiny, driven in part by Nunn’s celebrity status and social media presence.

Public Controversies and Media Speculation

In 2013, false rumors circulated online alleging that Jacob Payne had a past in adult entertainment. Natalie publicly defended her husband, stating that the speculation was unfounded and based on a misunderstanding involving a circulated photo. She clarified that the individual in question merely took a picture with Jacob and had no deeper connection to him.

Speculation about their relationship intensified when Natalie posted a series of emotional tweets suggesting marital tension, including one implying she "feels like being single again." One specific incident involved another woman attempting to take pictures with Jacob at a club, which reportedly upset Natalie. She later explained that the woman was a stranger who acted overly familiar, prompting her defensive reaction. Natalie subsequently deleted the posts and emphasized that Jacob remained committed to their marriage, referring to him as her “better half.”

Natalie has spoken openly about feeling possessive in her relationship, especially in social settings where other women show interest in her husband. Despite the emotional nature of some public moments, she has stated that Jacob has never had an affair, and most conflicts appear to arise from his popularity and photograph requests.
