Nathan Rogers was the boyfriend of Nick O'Connor. Nick and Nathan met whilst Nathan was working at Il Gnosh in 2003, and begun dating. Nick later revealed to Nathan that his parents didn't know that he was gay, so Nathan encouraged Nick to tell his parents, agreeing to go with him. However, Nick's father reacted badly to Nick's revelation and threw Nick and Nathan out.
Nathan booked a holiday for himself and Nick, but Nick's mother phoned him, informing Nick that his father had suffered a heart attack. Nick's father asked him to stay and look after the farm, so Nathan asked Nick to choose between him and his parents. Nick chose to help his father with the farm so Nathan dumped Nick and left.
