=== Simba===
Simba is Nala's loyal mate. The two were best friends when they were cubs, and unknowingly betrothed. They reunited several years after the death of Mufasa, and fell in love in that same jungle. Nala helped Simba take his rightful place as the King of the Pride Lands, and greatly contributed to the Battle for Pride Rock. After the Battle, the two lions became mates, and in time would have three children, Kopa, Kiara and Kion. They would also have several grandchildren later on. The two almost always appear with one another and are always in agreement. They are affectionate, loving and supportive to each other.
===Kopa===
Kopa is Nala's oldest son. She was utterly saddened when he ran away, and thus expresses great relief when she reunites with him. Nala is very understanding and supportive towards her oldest son. Nala knows that he loves Vitani, and that she loves him. She advises Kopa to find Vitani and tell her that he loves her, but only at the right time. Kopa takes his mother's advice, and it turns out swell. They have a loving relationship.
===Kiara===
Nala has a trusting and loving relationship with her daughter. She was more relaxed when Kiara was a cub and wanted her to have fun without feeling restricted. She has always supported her daughter's decisions and desires to be independent. They are loving towards each other and very supportive.
===Kion===
Nala has a trusting and loving relationship with Kion as well. She always trusted and supported his decisions when he led a Lion Guard. She was happy when he married Rani and became King of the Tree of Life, but is always glad to see her son. She is loving, affectionate and supportive towards him.
===Kovu===
Nala is on great terms with her son-in-law. She was much more trusting of him than Simba when he still was under Zira's command and was more willing to let Kovu live amongst the lions in Simba's pride. She greatly supports Kovu and Kiara's marriage and has a warm relationship with her son-in-law.
===Rani===
Nala is on great terms with her daughter-in-law. She was thrilled to find out that Kion had fallen in love with Rani and greatly supported their union as King and Queen of the Tree of Life. Although Rani was a little shy at first upon joining Kion's family, she soon found at that her in-laws were warm and welcoming towards her. They are on friendly and trusting terms.
===Vitani===
Nala is on great terms with her other daughter-in-law, too. She was one of the first to notice the young lioness's feelings for her son, and encouraged her son to tell of his feelings for her. Since Kopa and Vitani's wedding, Vitani and Nala have maintained a trusting and supportive friendship. Vitani looks up to Nala and Vitani gives the young lioness advice on many situations.
===Sarafina===
Nala has a close relationship with her mother. Sarafina was always protective and caring for her daughter, but especially so during Scar's reign. They remain loving and loyal over the years.
===Sarabi===
Nala has a trusting and supportive relationship with her mother-in-law. Sarabi agreed to betroth Simba and Nala at a young age, and thus greatly supported their marriage. They are now good friends and talk frequently.
=== Tama ===
Tama and Nala were good cubhood friends. They hung out when mischievous Simba would get on Nala's nerves, which made Simba jealous. They enjoyed playing together until Scar banished Tama and her mother out of the pride when they rebelled against him. When Tama returned years later, Nala was overjoyed to see her, and they reinstated their close bond. Tama's daughter, Tiifu, gets along well with Kiara, which pleases the mothers. They enjoy talking and hanging out together.
=== Tojo ===
Nala is well acquainted with her mate's cubhood friend. They get along good as adults.
=== Kula ===
Kula was one of Nala's cubhood friends during Scar's reign. The two maintained a playful and considerate friendship. After Kula grew up and left the pride to be Chumvi's mate, Nala did not see her again until several months later, during the Battle for Pride Rock. They have since rekindled their friendship and remain close, with Kula visiting the Pride Lands with her family when she has the chance.
=== Chumvi ===
Chumvi is Nala's other cubhood friend during Scar's reign. They had a playful friendship. Chumvi once dared Nala to talk with a rogue lion named Ni, and she worked hard to do the dare. But after she almost risked her life to do so, Chumvi apologized and never dared her to do anything again. After Chumvi was kicked out of the pride, they didn't see each other until after the Battle for Pride Rock, when Chumvi came looking for Kula. Since then, they remain good friends, seeing each other when Kula and Chumvi come to visit.
=== Scar ===
Nala was distrustful of her mate's uncle. She hated the condition of the Pride Lands during his reign, and knew he was not the rightful king. She also detested the amount of hyenas in the Pride Lands. Nala gladly helped Simba overthrow Scar and become the true King of Pride Rock. 
=== Zira ===
Nala was distrustful of Scar's most loyal follower. She hated how bitter the lioness was after Scar's death and how she would do anything to please Scar. She would gladly defend the Pride Lands and her family from Zira, and was relieved when she was gone.
=== Ni ===
Nala met Ni after several attempts to complete a dare Chumvi challenged her to. Ni saved Nala's life from hyenas, and they became good friends during his short stay at Pride Rock. However, she did not see him after that for a long time. Eventually, Nala's friend Goldie fell in love with Ni, but Nala could not tell he was the same rogue lion from her cubhood. 
=== Goldie ===
Goldie was a friend of Nala's from her younger years. They grew up together and frequently went on hunting trips. Nala watched Goldie's blossoming romance with Ni, and although was a little sad to see her friend go, was also happy when they ended up as mates. They have not seen each other since Goldie left the pride.
=== Malka ===
Malka was a childhood acquaintance of Nala's during his brief stay at Simba's pride. He might have had a crush on her, which annoyed Simba greatly. They did not see each other after that visit for several years, after Scar's reign was long over. They are still acquainted as adults, with Nala being friendly towards him. Her good friend, Vashti, became Malka's mate after he came to visit.
=== Vashti ===
Vashti was a good friend of Nala's during her adult years. They often went on hunting trips together, Vashti earning the role as one of the most gifted hunters in the pride. Nala was pleased when Vashti and Malka met and fell in love. Their son, Afua, would later become Kopa's cubhood best friend.
===Asante===
At first, Simba and Nala did not approve of the female hyena's friendship with their so, because of their past experiences with hyenas. This helped cause Kopa to run away. Later, when Kopa returns, Simba and Nala tell Kopa he is forgiven, and that they have also forgiven Asante. When Asante returns a few months later, Simba and Nala are nice to her, though pleasantly surprised to see her again. They are now on much better terms with her. 
=== Dotty ===
Dotty respects Nala for her former role as Queen of the Pride Lands. Nala is kind towards the introverted lioness, and often invites her on hunting trips. When Kopa returned, Dotty was sent to the Tree of Life to inform Kion, and was very diligent in fulfilling her duty. Upon her return back, Nala asked how she and Simba could thank Dotty, but she denied any formal treatment, instead receiving a long-desired nap. The two are acquainted and have a considerate friendship.
===Kheri===
Although close with all her grandchildren, Nala has a notably close and loving relationship with her grandson Kheri. He loves to be in the presence of his grandparents, listening to their stories and asking their advice. She cares about him deeply, and he reminds Nala of Kion when he was a cub. They remain close over time.
