Nicole grew up in Salt Lake City, and was scouted at the mall by modeling agency representative. However, she considered herself a tomboy and the opportunity didn't immediately intrigue her.
"I never wanted to brush my hair. I was always in the dirt. Just super tomboy. And I was like, I don't know, maybe," she told Cowgirl Magazinein December 2021.
Her mother, a former Miss America runner-up, urged her to give it a chance. Nicole's modeling career ended up taking her all across Europe, and she appeared in magazines like Vogue and Marie Claire.

Nicole grew up riding horses on her grandparents' ranch near Jackson, Wyo., and it has continued to be a part of her life today.
In December 2020, Nicole won the Careity Foundation's Celebrity Cutting competition, earning her first buckle and raising money for cancer research.
Nicole later shared in April 2021 that she had joined the board of the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame.

Nicole moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting in her early 20s, landing roles in shows like How I Met Your Mother and Dark Blue.
She sought out an acting coach which led her to meet her future husband. At the time, Taylor was starring on Sons of Anarchy and also offering coaching on the side.
They started dating shortly after and eventually began living together in a house in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley.
"At the time it was like, 'Let's just make enough to pay a mortgage or rent or food.' We were literally starving," Nicole told Cowgirl Magazine of the early days of their romance.
"That's when Taylor started writing, and two years later, we were at the Oscars ... I still can't believe it," she added of Taylor's breakout screenwriting gigs for movies like Sicario and later, Hell orHigh Water, which was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Screenplay.

The couple dated for a few years before tying the knot on Sept. 18, 2013.
On their seventh wedding anniversary in 2020, Nicole shared two photos of her and Taylor, including a rare photo from their wedding. In the shot, they are pictured standing in a field, her wearing a long, white dress and him in jeans, a white dress shirt and a cowboy hat.
"To the man I get to do life with. Thank you for the countless smiles, crazy adventures, and all the things in between. I couldn't ask for a better husband or father to our son. Happy anniversary baby. I love you," she penned.
Four years later, Nicole marked another anniversary by sharing more photos on Instagram, including a picture of them kissing on the beach.

"I don't know how we've crammed so, so much into such a short amount of time 🤪 but I'm sure glad we're doing it together ❤️ Happy Anniversary to us ✨🫶🏽," she wrote.
She and Taylor have a son

Taylor and Nicole welcomed their only child together, son Gus, on Sept. 23, 2010.
In June 2021, Nicole shared a sweet Father's Day tribute to Taylor, captioned, "I'm grateful to be sharing life, love, and parenthood with a wonderful man like you. We love you Baby."
Speaking to theAustin American-Statesmanin August 2017, the Wind River director spoke about his role as a father and his decision to leave L.A.
"I didn't want to raise my son in LA and I didn't want to have to look him in the eye and tell him I couldn't take him to a baseball game because I had an audition for a Windex commercial," he said.
Nicole shared a similar sentiment with Cowgirl Magazine, revealing that Gus loves ranch life in Texas.
"He's never on his phone. He's never on his X-Box. He's always outside with the dogs, fishing with his buds, or roller-skating in the barn," she said.
Nicole added, "He also ropes, so he's often on horseback. He's just always doing something."
The proud mom often shares photos of Gus enjoying ranch life on her Instagram, as well as photos of their family of three.
On Mother's Day 2026, she posted a carousel of family photos wrote, "The best title I'll ever have: Mom 🤍 Happy Mother's Day ✨🌷💞."
She and Taylor own two ranches in Texas

The couple used to live in Nicole's native Utah, before they relocated to Texas.
"We were living in Park City, and Taylor really didn't like the snow," she said in her interview with Cowgirl Magazine. "So, he rolled over one morning and said, 'Honey, we're getting the hell out of here,' and I'm like 'Where are we going?' 'We're going to go to Texas,' he replied."
Taylor and Nicole now own two Texas ranches: the Bosque Ranch and the historic 6666 Ranch (often called the Four Sixes). Much of Yellowstone's fourth season was filmed on location at the Four Sixes and one of the flagship series' potential spinoffs is named after the ranch.
The ranches are also home to several horses and other animals, as evidenced by Nicole's Instagram.
"We have 12 dogs, some chickens, and cats because I love to rescue. It's nice to have the space to do that," she told the outlet.
She is inspired a storyline in Taylor's Landman

Nicole is often on hand to support her husband at the premieres of his movies and shows as well as various awards ceremonies.
In November 2022, she and Taylor attended the season 5 premiere of Yellowstone in Fort Worth, Texas, posing together on the red carpet.
The supportive wife also frequently promotes her husband's work on Instagram. In May 2022, she reposted a news story about the prequel series 1923 starring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, writing, "The next chapter 🎉🎉🎉🎉 #soexciting."
Creatively, she supports him without even trying — she's been cited as Taylor's muse.
Ali Larter told the Newport Beach TV Festival that the retirement home storyline in Taylor's series Landman was inspired by Nicole's volunteer work.
"She really does go to these homes and spend time with the residents," Larter said. "She brings margaritas and takes them to casinos."
