Meet the “Victorious” Cast's Real-Life Partners
From Avan Jogia and Halsey to Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater, meet the partners of the Nickelodeon cast
Victorious gave rise to some big stars.
The Nickelodeon series, which ran for four seasons from 2010 to 2013, focused on the life, love and hilarious antics of a group of friends while they attended the fictional performing arts school Hollywood Arts.
The star-studded cast included talent like Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice and Elizabeth Gillies, who all have gone on to grow their star power in modern pop culture.
Since the show ended in 2013, many of the cast members have remained in touch over the years. Additionally, several of them have gone on to get married and start families of their own.
Read on to learn more about the real-life partners and families of the Victorious cast.
Victoria Justice
Over the years, Victoria Justice – who played Tori Vega on the hit Nickelodeon show – has kept her love life pretty private. In October 2022, she was linked to TikTok star Evan Berger. She and Berger – who is best known for his viral online impressions – made their debut as a couple at the RiSE Festival in Las Vegas, where they were spotted holding hands at the time.
Before Berger, the 31-year-old actress dated her Rocky Horror Picture Show costar Reeve Carney from 2016 to 2019.
Ariana Grande
Before Ariana Grande became the flourishing pop star we know and love, she played Cat Valentine on Victorious. The 31-year-old is currently dating her Wicked costar Ethan Slater after meeting on the set of the upcoming musical film adaptation.
They went public with their relationship shortly after she announced her divorce from her husband Dalton Gomez, with whom she was married for two years before they split in 2023.
Elizabeth Gillies
Elizabeth Gillies found love early on in her career. The actress – who played Jade West on the series – met her now-husband Michael Corcoran on the set of Victorious, where he worked as a co-writer of the songs she and the other cast sang on the show. The pair began dating in late 2012 and were together for eight years before they officially tied the knot in August 2020 in an intimate ceremony.
They were initially supposed to get married in April 2020 but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gillies told Vogue at the time that "it was a no-brainer” for them to postpone their wedding.
Corcoran added that "it really focused everything down to what matters in life," adding that a "big, extravagant experience in the middle of a pandemic didn't make any sense." At the end of the day, Gillies said that she was “??happy with the way” the wedding turned out. "It's about you and the person you love," she told the outlet. "The rest doesn't matter."
Avan Jogia
Avan Jogia – who played Beck Oliver – sparked romance rumors with Halsey back in September 2023 when they were spotted kissing on a date in Los Angeles. Halsey seemingly confirmed their relationship in October 2023, when the singer posted photos of their Halloween costumes.
On Sept. 12, the “Bad at Love” singer, who uses she/they pronouns, confirmed their engagement in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), noting that Jogia was her “fiancé.”
Leon Thomas III
Leon Thomas III – who played Andre Harris in the show – has kept his love life private since the Nickelodeon series ended in 2013. He took a step back from acting and instead put his creative efforts towards music.
He told PEOPLE in an interview that “at 13 years old, I got signed to Nickelodeon on a development deal and was given an opportunity to pursue music professionally."
"That was the moment I started taking my songwriting seriously, working towards getting to the next level," he added. Thomas worked with his former costar Ariana Grande on her Yours Truly album before he had opportunities to branch out. Since then, he has worked with artists like Drake, JAY-Z, Lil Wayne and SZA.
Matt Bennett
Matt Bennett – who played Robbie Shapiro on Victorious – has also kept his relationship status out of the limelight.
He kept in touch with several of his Victorious cast members. He starred in two music videos for Ariana Grande and an episode of Dynasty alongside Elizabeth Gillies. As of 2024, he is a DJ and is currently in the midst of the Party 101 world tour.
Daniella Monet
Daniella Monet – who played Trina Vega on the series – is married to her longtime partner Andrew Gardner. The couple began dating in 2012 and got engaged on Christmas Day in 2017. Monet told PEOPLE at the time that she was "so happy” and that she “cried for a solid three hours.”
The couple welcomed their first child, a son, in September 2019 and had a daughter in February 2021. The following year, they tied the knot on Dec. 29, 2022, sharing a series of black-and-white photos on Instagram to commemorate the occasion.
