While these descriptions may totally describe Nicole Jbased on what people have seen on TV Shows like The Family Chantel, there is more to this Dominican-born. Aside from the dramatic feuds and causing chaos here every now and again, Nicole Jimeno is actually a go-getter irrespective of how she goes about getting what she wants.
You will get to find these out when you stick to this read.
Why Do People Know Nicole Jimeno?
Nicole Jimeno is quite famous in recent times for being the younger sister to Pedro Jimeno, a one-time cast of 90 Days Fiancé. He was a couple with Chantel Everett from the aforementioned show whom he eventually got married to and had a spin-off show titled The Family Chantel.
The show followed the life of Chantel and Pedro, Nicole’s brother, and everybody associated with them.
Through this exposition, Nicole Jimeno was featured in a couple of 90 Days franchise TV shows including 90 Days Fiancé: Happily Ever After from 2017 to 2019 where she made cameos in quite a number of episodes.
Nicole Jimeno was also featured in a few episodes of 90 Days Fiancé: Self-Quarantined in 2020 and 90 Days Bares All in 2021. After her first stint in the first reality TV, she joined her brother’s spinoff TV show with his fiancée turned wife, now ex-wife, Chantel Everett, sister to Winter Everett.
Most importantly, Nicole is known for being a mean woman who has caused so much chaos. She had a one-sided rivalry with her brother’s wife which led to her trying so hard to sabotage their relationship. Nicole even went as far as spreading rumors about her brother, Pedro, just to ruin the relationship he had.
Above all, she and her mother, Lidia, who were all involved in the sabotage of the relationship, still depend on Pedro for money and financial aid.
However, since the union between Pedro Jimeno and Chantel ended, Nicole’s stint in the reality TV show came to an end. This may have also affected her earnings.
Nicole Was a Beauty Pageant Winner Before Reality TV
Even though a lot of people know Nicole from her days in the reality TV show which lasted for about 7 years, she had eventful early days.
Being born on May 4, 1994, in the Dominican Republic, she started off a professional career in beauty pageantry. She participated in the Miss Earth Dominican Republic in the Philippines, in 2016 and won the title.
The pageantry was put together to promote environmental awareness and the young lady was just 22 years old at the time.
It is important to note that the Miss Earth Dominican Republic pageantry is different from the Miss Dominican Republic pageantry.
For the latter, Nicole Jimeno attempted to participate as well, after she had grown a name for herself from her TV appearances years later. With her growing interest in becoming an influencer, Jimeno figured another beauty crown on her shelf would help her achieve be more famous.
She participated in the Miss Dominican Republic despite moving from the country to the USA. She returned to the Dominican Republic in 2021 in order to participate in the event. Jimeno also went ahead to splurge on plastic surgeries in order to win this pageantry.
Unfortunately, she didn’t make it past the top 10 and missed the chance to add another beauty crown. This loss meant she wasn’t qualified to participate in Miss Universe.
Nicole’s Dependence on People for Financial Help May Have Led Her to Dating a Married Man
Of the many reasons people do not particularly love Nicole Jimeno, her relationship with Alejandro Padron also tops the list.
Nicole and Alejandro began dating in 2019 and they were also an important feature in The Family Chantel’s second season.
Alejandro Padron was a married man at the time of his relationship with Pedro’s younger sister. He admitted that he was filing for divorce from his wife in order to be with Nicole and as a show of seriousness, Alejandro gave the beauty queen a promise ring.
However, in a twist of events, her brother and mother sabotaged her relationship with Padron as they both were against their being together. Soon enough, Nicole and Alejandro began to have relationship issues and eventually split in 2022.
30-year-old Nicole even revealed that she saw messages Alejandro was exchanging with other women. She also got pregnant for him but had a miscarriage.
Ultimately, many viewers of the show believe that Nicole’s dependence on Alejandro and her brother was because she needed someone to tend to her needs. She had indicated that she didn’t like work.
Also, she could have probably had her own spinoff with her romance with Alejandro. However, they broke up, and importantly, viewers were not interested in their story as they were referred to as boring.
Surprisingly Nicole Jimeno has a Regular Job
When everything else failed, the reality TV star realized that she needed to get a job. She revealed on the 4th season of The Family Chantel that she got an office job that involved event planning and organizational tasks.
Further describing her job on the show, Nicole made viewers believe that she was working a state-employed job in a public office. She finally got the chance to make money for herself and stop totally depending on others for her paycheck.
Nicole Jimeno Didn’t Have a Father Figure Growing Up
As already stated, Nicole is the last of the 2 kids born to Lidia Jimeno. Her older and only known sibling is Pedro Jimeno, the other half of The Family Chantel TV series’ original story.
Some report has it that her father wasn’t around and that she never knew him. In fact, in one episode of his reality TV show, Pedro went on an adventure to find out who their father is as Lidia never spoke about him.
Pedro eventually uncovered that their father was an already married man before he met with their mother.
Nicole however had a very good educational background growing up. She studied at the Universidad Catolica Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic and earned a degree from there before moving to the United States of America.
