In a twist that feels ripped from the pages of a high-society soap opera, a Palm Beach power couple is at the center of a scandal that has sent shockwaves through the community.
Billionaire Steve Wynn’s stepson, 32-year-old Nick Hissom, took to social media on Wednesday to announce a heartbreaking breakup with his longtime partner, accusing him of betrayal and infidelity.
A Social Media Bombshell
Hissom’s Instagram post painted a vivid picture of personal betrayal. Describing the split as “the saddest and most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever had to write,” he launched into a series of accusations.
According to his lengthy post, his former partner allegedly engaged in a “coordinated, sneaky, and vicious affair” right under his roof. Hissom claimed that while he was asked for space to “find himself,” his partner was busy conspiring with friends and even engaging in overt public displays of affection with another man.
The breakup has not only shocked Hissom’s followers but also stirred up conversations among Palm Beach socialites and insiders. For those looking to understand the local elite’s lifestyle, this scandal is comparable to dramatic moments from reality TV shows like Palm Royale or infamous stories from the pages of Page Six.
A Storied Relationship Under the Microscope
Hissom and his partner reportedly began their relationship in 2018, with multiple sources hinting at a deep commitment—some even noting that the couple wore matching rings and that a proposal had been made. While it remains unclear whether the pair were legally married or simply longtime partners, the level of commitment appeared significant. The fallout from the breakup has affected more than just the individuals involved; it has stirred up whispers among Palm Beach’s elite, drawing parallels to past high-profile splits in the region.

Scandalous Details and Community Reaction
According to Hissom, allegations emerged from an anonymous source via an Instagram account known as “Le Rosey Confessions”—a nod to the prestigious Swiss boarding school Institut Le Rosey that Hissom once attended. The post claimed that his partner was unfaithful, sparking further anger when it was revealed that the couple had been spotted engaging in overt public displays of affection during a recent trip to Aspen.
The social media storm intensified as Hissom described finding “evil screenshots” and group chats where his partner and mutual friends appeared to mock his pain. Even as the breakup unfolded publicly, the couple had been seen together just days earlier at the amfAR gala, where close family ties were on full display. The emotional toll of the split is evident not only on social media but also within their influential family circles, with insiders comparing the drama to legendary Palm Beach feuds of the past.
Moving Forward Amid Heartbreak
In a series of subsequent posts, Hissom shifted the narrative from heartbreak to resilience. Accompanied by music tracks like U2’s “Beautiful Day” and Fifth Harmony’s “Miss Movin’ On,” he shared glimpses of his recovery journey. Alongside striking thirst-trap images and motivational captions, he signaled a commitment to rebuilding his life despite the painful breakup.
This scandal has already sparked a flurry of reactions from friends, family, and Palm Beach insiders alike, all keenly watching the fallout of what promises to be one of the most talked-about splits of the season.
