"It was only 5 years ago that I was leaving my ex, living in our trailer, struggling financially, broken-hearted, and feeling like I should give up on the dream of having a husband and a beautiful future."
Nikkole continued: "I had accepted that I couldn’t attract a healthy relationship. I also accepted that what we had was what we were always going to have.
"The trailer was nice but the kids at school would tease Lyle for it and as nice as it was, it had many flaws (like our pipes freezing constantly leaving us w no water)."
The mother of three explained that she had always "dreamt of a warm home. A big kitchen to cook for my family in. A backyard to watch my babies play in. A fresh start with no triggers from my past.
"Somewhere I felt safe. I told myself I would be single until I was at least 30 (I was 23 at the time)."
Nikkole added that she was looking for a man who would "be a father and a GOOD one (so I knew my children would be a priority), he would have to have a job and a car (loling that I dated guys without these prior to my husband 😶), he would have to have his own place (so I knew he was as responsible as myself), and he would have to be kind, loving, make me laugh, and not hurt me. Any red flags I was going to run away."
RELATIONSHIP STRUGGLES
Her ex Josh, with whom she shares son Lyle, is currently serving time for his meth and armed robbery charges.
The MTV star went on to have a second child in 2015, a daughter named Ellie Jade with ex Ryan Rice.
The TV personality welcomed her third child, son Bodhi, last July with her current husband Kyle Ledda.
She went on to explain their relationship, saying: "And while Kyle wasn’t a father and I wasn’t 30 when we started dating, he ticked every single box.
"He has a heart of gold and truly loved (and loves) Lyle & Ellie as his own. He loves me for me, the good, the bad, and the ugly. And most of all he makes me feel safe.
"We’ve grown so much together in the last 5 years. This house is a reflection of our love, our goals, and our hard work all coming together. I’m so freaking proud of us.
