Relationships

[edit]

In 2018, North dated reality television star Sadie Robertson from Duck Dynasty for four months.[21] After Robertson broke up with North, she said, “We broke up. He’s an amazing guy and I wish him all the best. We’re friends. It just didn’t work out. He actually just texted me the other day and said he was thinking about me and I think that’s beautiful. That’s how it should be.”[22]

Alleged assault and subsequent arrest

[edit]

On 13 February 2024, North was arrested after he allegedly attacked Las Vegas Hospital employees. He allegedly assaulted several nurses and a phlebotomist after entering the emergency room. He was taken into custody and booked for gross misdemeanor battery and was subsequently released on bail.[23]

On 15 February 2024, North addressed the incident on Instagram Story stating:

"I am deeply upset by the events that took place in Las Vegas this past week. My friend drove me to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack. Several tests were taken, including blood, which came back negative for any drugs or alcohol in my system. I was having a severe anxiety attack. I have very little memory of the events that day at the hospital. I have the utmost respect for healthcare workers and hospital staff. I have battled anxiety on and off for years and this was the most extreme panic attack I've ever had. Going forward, I hope to shed light on this debilitating disorder and send hope to those who have also struggled."[23]
