So, who exactly is Nichole Holmes? Here's what we know about the realtor, mom and former Miss Illinois '95

She was Miss Illinois in 1995



 

With her bright smile and charming personality, it really comes as no surprise that Holmes was crowned Miss Illinois and went on to represent the state in the 1995 Miss USA pageant. While she didn't win the title of Miss USA, she was the 2nd runner up and also won the most photogenic title. She was also the 2nd Miss Illinois to bag the second runner-up title, seeing that the last time that happened was in 1985.

She worked in advertising and publishing before getting into real estate


As per Holmes' LinkedIn , she is currently affiliated with Parks Realty in Nashville, where she sells luxury homes and condos. Apart from this, she also freelances as a TV and media personality. She was the director of advertising for Sunshine Publishing Group, LLC, where she worked on a faith-based publication. She later joined Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC, where she was the on-site Sales Consultant at Terrazzo in The Gulch for 8 years, before she joined Parks.

She is a doting mother



 

One glance at Holmes' Instagram and you'll know she's a hands-on mom to her adorable little girl, Arya. Despite her busy schedule, she makes sure to spend quality time with her daughter. By the look of it, Holmes and Arya's father Ali Frazmand, the owner of Printers Press, Nashville, currently co-parent their daughter together. 

She adores her dogs



 

Holmes and her daughter seemed to have adopted quite a few rescues over the years. They've had a Great Pyrenees named Archies, a golden retriever by the name of Liza and Luke.

All episodes of 'Marriage or Mortgage' will be available to stream starting Wednesday, March 10, 2021, only on Netflix.
