However, one of Nicole’s most heartbreaking struggles has been her journey to motherhood.
Nicole has always been clear that she’s longed for a family and wanted to be a mother.
But the road to do so hasn’t been easy for theformer model.

She’s been devastated many times when it comes to building her family.
Sadly, that pregnancy ended with a miscarriage and the couple’s daughter died.
She named the baby boy Daniel Rafael Hernandez after Daniel Jonas and Rafe Hernandez.

Daniel was later offered a job in Salem and decided to stick around (viaSoap Central).
Nicole and Daniel eventually asked Chloe Lane (Nadia Bjorlin) to be their surrogate, perMonsters and Critics.
Chloe agreed and tried to conceive the couple’s child through IVF.

The first attempt was unsuccessful.
She tried to move on with her life and ended up finding comfort with Deimos Kiriakis.
Nicole and Deimos fell fast and hard for one another and even got engaged.
Eventually, the little girl was born and named Holly.
However, Chloe continued to fight for the child.
Chloe and Nicole engaged in a brutal custody battle over the baby (viaSoap Opera Spy).
She’s now focused on raising her daughter.
