Starfire, after all, is Nightwing’s most notable romance. So, do Starfire and Nightwing end up together in DC’s Titans?
The answer is yes, Starfire and Nightwing end up together in DC’s Titans. Dick and Kory stay together while all the other Titans go their separate ways.

DC’s Titans: Starfire and Nightwing’s Relationship Explained
In Titans Season 1, a romance between Kory/Starfire and Dick is teased, with the both of them hooking up. After opening up with each other about their identity issues, Dick and Kory agree that maybe once Kory remembers who she is and Dick figures out who he’s going to be, they can “try it again sometime.” But after that, nothing romantic happens between the both of them.
Both of them lead the Titans and look after the other members, but they choose to remain as co-leaders. Titans Season 2 reveals more about Dick’s relationship with Dawn, while Titans Season 3 focuses more on his relationship with Barbara.
However, despite these circ*mstances, there have been hints throughout the series that Dick Grayson ultimately ends up with Kory. In the alternate reality shown in the Season 1 finale, while Dick ends up getting married to Dawn, the latter still gets jealous of Kory.
Additionally, both Kory and Dick get a vision where they have a child holding a red balloon. And in the middle of the final season, Dick and Kory find themselves in "Caul's Folly" where they’re “Ted & Carol” living a life together.
Even though Dick and Kory choose to ignore the signs, everything points to the fact that the both of them would eventually end up together.
While some viewers think that the romance between Nightwing and Starfire came too late, Titans showrunner Greg Walker shared that the Titans team wanted to come up with their own version of the romance. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Walker said:
"If the end destination was some form of intimate connection, it was really important to figure out how to get there in a way that didn't feel like we're just doing because it's in the books. It was a struggle for them and it was a struggle for us to figure out what felt right.
But I think that at the end of season 3 and going into season 4, where they were literally co-leaders of the team, and then getting to a point where it looks like they may not be able to be together because of her destiny, it softens them. We played around with Easter eggs and the red balloon and the baby, but the challenge was, 'how can we accelerate this as fast as possible that still feels credible to who these characters are?'"

Do Dick and Kory End Up Together in DC’s Titans?
Yes, Starfire and Nightwing finally end up together in DC's Titans. While all the other members of the Titans choose to go their separate ways, Dick and Kory stay together.
In the series finale, Starfire realizes that she’s the key to defeating Brother Blood. Kory has a conversation with Dick where she shares that she didn’t like Dick when they first met, but that she’s glad she took the time to get to know Dick.
Dick realizes that she’s trying to say goodbye and begs her not to. Starfire ultimately chooses to sacrifice herself to defeat Brother Blood, and the team thinks she’s gone.
A few minutes later, Starfire returns, and Dick is relieved. Nightwing says “I thought I’d lost you” and Starfire responds “Me too.” Dick and Kory then share a kiss.
After the Titans finish dinner and go their separate ways, Dick and Kory go for a late-night walk. Dick asks Kory if she remembers what Sebastian said about humans and Tamaraneans getting together.
Kory responds “that if they ever did, they’d be unstoppable.” Dick then says that they should get on that.
With Starfire and Nightwing ending up together, this means that the vision of them having a child may soon become more than a dream. But sadly, we won’t be seeing more of that because DC’s Titans will not be getting a Season 5.
But even though this may be the end for DC’s Titans, at least we know that Starfire and Nightwing end up together on the show, just like in the comics. The wait was worth it for DickKory fans.
