Flair Magazine An international model who became a successful entrepreneur, Nicole Williams has gained a massive fan base who follow her closely on E!‘s hit reality TV series WAGS and witnessed her on-screen engagement to former NFL pro Larry English. Currently one of the hottest influencers in Hollywood, the beauty has amassed over 800 thousand followers across her social media platforms. So we caught up with Nicole and spoke to her about her life behind the small screen and her latest business ventures.
How does it feel to be constantly filmed on-camera?
You get used to it, at first it feels strange, but now, going into our third season it’s easier and most of the time I forget cameras are rolling. It helps that I film with my besties.
How would you describe your personality on-camera vs. off-camera?
I’d say I’m the same. I don’t change who I am for TV. Of course viewers don’t get to see my entire life since it’s only an hour per episode. Who I am as a person will always stay the same, on or off camera.
What are the pressures of being a WAG like and how do you deal with them?
It’s just regular life to me. I have ups and downs like anyone else, and the only difference is my life is more in the public eye. It can feel a little overwhelming having so much attention on us, but we understand that it’s the price we pay when being under a magnifying glass. Other than that we are a pretty normal couple.
Reality TV can be hectic. How do you relax when not filming?
I love to just stay at home with my dogs and Larry, watch a movie and just take time to be together. Our schedules are so crazy so quality time is key.
What sets your BodyBlendz products from similar beauty products on the market?
We put so much work into making Mandarin Mist-one of the best scrubs out there! It’s completely organic and cruelty-free of course. We use only the best ingredients for the skin. I’m all about products that work and natural ingredients. After my first time testing out my scrub, the difference I felt in my skin was incredible. I knew right away we had something magical. People really swear by it. I will only attach my name to something I strongly believe in, and BodyBlendz turned my scrub into just that.
Tell us more about your swim line Nia Lynn as well as your collaboration with Seven 50.
I grew up watching my mom sew, so I instantly wanted to be a designer. I used to make a lot of my outfits as a teenager and I was very into fashion. I started modeling at a very young age so it all went hand in hand. Being a swimsuit model as well has made me lean more towards designing swimwear. Wanting to design my own brand has always been a passion of mine. My swimwear “Nia Lynn Collection” is set to launch this summer! Aside from swimwear and Body Scrubs, I’ve also teamed up with Seven50 Jewels to design my own jewelry collection “Nia Lynn Jewels” I’m so excited about it! It will be Rose Gold and Yellow Gold with diamonds. I’ve never imagined being a jewelry designer, it’s really a dream come true so I’m really excited. It’s going to launch sometime this May.
Who do you look up to and inspires you the most?
My mom, I hope I can be as great as a mother as she’s been to us. She’s amazing.
Congratulations on your engagement! How are you planning for the wedding and will it be televised on the show?
It’s been amazing! I have a lot of work ahead of me before the big day; weddings are a lot of work! As for it being televised for WAGS … you’ll have to watch and find out!
What should we expect in the new season of WAGS?
Well we have some new girls! I’m a newly engaged woman, and I think you’re going to see a lot of emotions this season. We also have a few really cool trips that you don’t want to miss.
Take us through a typical Nicole Williams day.
Wake up, check my emails and texts, check the schedule, feed the dogs, shower and get myself together, go to my castings/auditions. Film for WAGS! Maybe if I have time I’ll run a few errands in between then I unwind after a long day, feed the dogs, take them on a walk, make dinner and try to catch up on some Homeland! I just got tired thinking about it ha-ha.
What are your hobbies/ what do you like to do in your free time?
We love going to the movies, and of course I love just staying home and watching my Homeland or some good old school Michelle Pfeiffer movies.
What are your future dreams?
To just be successful in anything I do and to be happy.
