Are Brianna Adekeye and Nico Scholly still dating?
Brianna joined the cast of Below Deck at the same time as deckhand Nico Scholly and they quickly took a liking to each other. Although Nico had a long-term girlfriend called Melissa at the time, he quickly called things off to begin romancing Brianna.
They were a strong couple for most of the season, but Nico eventually realised he'd made a mistake in ending things with Melissa and dumped Brianna to go back to his ex. So, no, they're no longer dating.
