Background
On February 26-29, while on pain meds after being shot, Maxie Jones (Nathan's now fiancée) tells Nathan that she loves him and he replies by saying "I love you too, Claudette." On March 14, 2016, Nathan revealed to Dante that Claudette was his wife.

Claudette and Nathan met at a bar while he was in uniform in New York and Nathan describes her as different from other girls and she's French-Canadian. They went out and it went well so they kept going out and he proposed to her after the second date.

Then Claudette suggests on their second date that they do a bunch of New York stuff that people don't normally do. They hit the Bronx Zoo, rode the Cyclone and took the ferry across to Governors Island. Nathan then realized that Claudette was just checking boxes off because she wasn't going to be a New Yorker anymore as her visa had expired. So Nathan decided to marry her as he was single and wasn't doing anything. It was a marriage of convenience at first as Nathan fell in love but Claudette didn't and she was cheating on him the whole time they were married. After he found he couldn't forgive her so they got an annulment. Nathan assumes that she is back in Canada.

He later revealed to Obrecht that he told Maxie about Claudette but not didn't tell her everything. On April 28, Obrecht revealed that if Nathan told Maxie the truth about what happened with Claudette and if she told Lulu and if Lulu told Dante that Nathan would end up in Pentonville.
