Last season, Nate found himself in the middle of what was the focus of many viewers; former best friends Cassie Howard and Maddy Perez's feud over the fact that Howard had slept with Perez's now ex-boyfriend, Jacobs himself.

"Euphoria" does a great job of showing Jacob's abuse of Perez and his subsequent manipulation of the vulnerable Howard. Howard eventually descends into an extremely dark place as she becomes increasingly infatuated with Jacobs but loses her loved ones' respect in the process.

Another curious relationship viewers have noted is the possible hint of romantic attraction between Jacobs and fellow high schooler and transgender girl Jules Vaughn. However, nothing has been confirmed as of yet.

When it comes to romance outside of the screen, Jacob Elordi, the actor who plays this antagonist, dated the actress who plays the main character, Rue Bennett, or the widely loved celebrity Zendaya. However, the two eventually went their separate ways.
