Nicoli first came across his future-girlfriend Candice at one of the fashion events held in Paris in 2005. The duo, who has around a six-year age gap, officially began dating when Candice was 24 and his GF was 18.
In the meantime, the two were struggling with their rising modeling career. The first few years of their love were full of ups and downs but the duo handled everything with ease.
They led a delightful relationship for several years. But, due to the busy schedule, sometimes the two had to go through the miseries of a long-distance relationship.
During the 2014 Valentine’s Day, the model told E! News this Valentine became totally empty as her boyfriend wasn’t with her for celebrating the day. She said,
“I’m gonna be a lonely girl on Valentine’s Day this year.”

“I kind of feel married already. 10 years is kind of a marriage, so I don’t really need papers to tell me that.”
The model also credited her beau for supporting her in every hard time, telling her,
“It helps because we’ve grown together over the years. He’s helped me a lot through all the experiences and been a rock in my life.”
