While it’s unclear how long Nicole and Dane have been together, they celebrated an anniversary in July 2019.

At the time, Dane shared a loved-up photo of the couple to Instagram and captioned the post: ‘Happy Anniversary sugar t*ts’.

Nicole rose to fame in 2016 when she appeared on Channel Nine’s Married At First Sight.

She was paired with ‘husband’ Craig Keller and later spoke out about how she felt ‘unsafe’ with the match.

In March 2017, the Gold Coast-based teacher claimed former Navy engineer Craig was ‘disrespectful and abusive’ to members of the production staff after drinking heavily and taking pain relief medication he had been prescribed.

At the time, Craig strongly denied the allegations in a lengthy Instagram post, describing them as ‘straight up lies from someone who can’t move on with their unhappy life.’

Speaking of an incident in series three when Craig apparently arrived home drunk at 3am after a night partying, Nicole alleged the truth was much worse than what aired on television.

Nicole previously told News Corp she did not feel safe around Craig afterwards and spent the weekend at a friend’s house.

‘He was off work on compo (workers’ compensation) so he’d been taking strong pain relief… with alcohol and no sleep,’ Nicole said.

‘I came home from work and the house was a pigsty, there was smashed glass… he’d been drinking all day.’

As a result of Craig’s behaviour, Nicole said she asked to producers to cancel a pre-planned dinner party for his friends because he was ‘not well’, which they did, but also claimed producers asked her to downplay his drinking.

Craig denied Nicole’s claims about his drinking and that dinner party plans had been cancelled as a result of his alleged behaviour. Instead, he said it was simply a personality clash between the former reality TV couple.

‘Nicole and her friends were a bit more “upper class” than I am and they sort of looked down on us, and my mates didn’t want a bar of it,’ he said. ‘They were disgusted.’
