A look into Nicole and Justin's relationship on 90 Day Fiancé

Nicole, a 47-year-old recording artist from Hoboken, New Jersey, is also recognized by her alternate name, Nikki Exotika. Nicole transforms from a diva persona to a homebody who also works as a hairstylist, makeup artist, and beauty consultant when she's not on stage.

According to ScreenRant, Nicole is a transgender woman and has undergone multiple plastic surgeries, enhancing her body from her head to her toe. It was in the most unexpected way that Nicole first met Justin. Seventeen years ago, Nicole dated a Russian man who had committed a crime and was expelled from the United States.

After her boyfriend was deported, Nicole flew down to Chişinău, Moldova, to be with him. However, she eventually found out that there was another woman with whom he was having an affair. Nicole recovered by discovering Justin on a Moldovan website, where he was then known as Igor.

He looked like Justin Timberlake, so Nicole affectionately dubbed him Justin. Justin subsequently proposed to Nicole during her fourth trip to Moldova. The K-1 visa for Justin was granted. To marry Nicole, he relocated to the US.

Despite loving each other, 90 Day Fiancé stars Nicole and Justin's relationship writhed under the weight of her past. Nicole got her sex change procedure done when she was roughly twenty years old. According to ScreenRant, Nicole felt reborn, at last, like the woman she had always longed to be, following the operation.

Nicole was leading a covert life. It implied that she had kept her gender a secret from others. She remained extremely reticent when talking about her sexual orientation. She never had lesbian or transgender friends. She needed time to reflect on who she was.

When Nicole revealed the truth to Justin directly, he became very alarmed. Nicole said that Justin was shocked to learn about her past. After leaving the United States, Justin returned to Moldova and suffered from depression for a very long period.

Justin and Nicole remained in touch, but when they were both single again two years ago, they picked up from where they had left. Nicole even considered extending their romantic engagement.
