Jersey Shore: Family Vacation[]
Season 4[]
During the 2020 lockdown, Pauly has a Zoom dinner with the roommates where Nikki takes his plate and gets him a water. His roommates are shocked when Nikki enters the frame on their request, revealing that she's in a relationship with Pauly now. Vinny recognizes her from the dating show Double Shot at Love that he and Pauly did.[1]
Nikki comes to Vegas to meet the roommates for the first time. She had already met Angelina, Vinny and Ronnie because they appeared on Double Shot at Love. Pauly wants everything to be perfect for when Nikki arrives, so he asks Angelina and Deena to put aside their drama for the dinner. They do and things go very well, though Vinny finds the ordeal boring and is offended at being a side chick now. Nikki spends most of the trip chilling with Pauly, hanging out with the girls, and getting to know everyone on a surface level. Of everyone there, Nikki seems to spend the most time with Angelina. She's thrilled when Mike and Lauren announce her pregnancy.
For the next few months, Nikki and Pauly spend quarantine together and have a strong social media presence. Their first year anniversary arrives so Pauly surprises her with a romantic rose petal path. He then gets on one knee to ask her to accept a ring....code for his front door camera. She finds it hilarious and that's what he loves about her. Nikki knows about the drama happening with Angelina as Pauly talks to her about it, but she stays out of it. Deena books a Poconos vacation and asks everyone to bring their loved ones, so Pauly invites Nikki. Since this is Nikki's first real vacation, she's nervous but also excited. She and Pauly both aren't sure about the cold weather. She has a blast on the activities with everyone and spends more time with the girls. She gets in a food fight with Vinny and he's salty when she ruins his jacket. Angelina invites Nikki to brunch, which turns into Angelina spiraling at the bar. Nikki looks out for her and they have fun on the golf cart, in confessionals, and back at the resort.
Ronnie's girlfriend Saffire comes to the Poconos to meet everyone. The first dinner is rather raunchy with everyone, so Jenni decides to invite all the girls out for drinks before dinner. Nikki comes with and they all share about their upbringings. Nikki opens up about her childhood. Her mom wasn't in her life so she was raised by her father. She has five siblings, but didn't grow up around them often. Her story is emotional and she cries a little. Jenni understands Nikki since their stories are very similar. The girls outing brings them all closer together. The next day, Nikki, Pauly, and Vinny compete in the newlyweds game, where Vinny ends up beating Nikki.
Season 5[]
Nikki joins Pauly on tour for the first several dates. She then comes along on the trip to the Florida Keys with the rest of the cast and their families.
She also comes to San Diego and got into a fight with Angelina. Vinny had to make a post about Angelina, but immediately took it back and posted "JK", which set her off. She threw water aiming for Vinny, but some got on Nikki. She retaliated and threw water in Angelina's face, which prompted her to throw red wine on her. Pauly gets involved and busts the door down in the confessional room where Ang was hiding. Nikki then got back at her and poured wine on her head.[2]
The next morning, Angelina came into their room and apologized for throwing the wine and Nikki apologized for letting it escalate. The beef is then squashed between them.[3]
Season 7[]
While out with MVP, Pauly remarked on his relationship with Nikki and how he knew she was the one he wanted to settle down with. He was done being "ratchet" and loved Nikki's warmth. While the cast was in Nashville, Pauly had a hemorrhoid which landed him in the hospital. He said that Nikki had flown out to be with him.
It was confirmed that she will return to the show for the second half of the season. She made her return in the mid-season premiere and caught the audience up on her life with a confessional. She now runs her own bikini brand, which is part of the Jamaican culture.[4]
