New Girl star Jake Johnson says Nick is still together with Zooey Deschanel’s Jess. Originally conceived as a star vehicle for Deschanel, Fox’s New Girl quickly morphed into a genuine ensemble comedy, making great use of the talents of Deschanel’s co-stars Johnson, Max Greenberg, Lamorne Morris and Hannah Simone. When it came to romantic chemistry, the show also got plenty of mileage from the sparks that flew between Johnson’s schlubby Nick and Deschanel’s quirky Jess, and eventually had the two characters become a couple.
