"So happy to have had this extra time with you, my love [heart emoji]," Nicole, 26, captioned a selfie with Azan.
"But soon I'll get to see my little girl and I'm also very happy and excited for that [heart emoji]."
The following day, Nicole shared another selfie with her man and wrote, "Making every minute count with you until my time to leave your side again. [It's] me and you baby. Only we know our love story and all the hard things we've been through."
"We've come out stronger [than] we have ever been before and we'll continue to grow together. May and you are my family and my future [red heart emoji]," she added.
Nicole disclosed she was "so happy to finally be with my love again" March 11 on Instagram, and then later that month, she gushed in a separate post, "I never want to leave your side my love."
Nicole's mother, Robbalee Nafziger, confirmed Nicole has been "hunkered down" and quarantining with Azan in Morocco safely while she cares for young May back in the United States, according to In Touch Weekly.
Given there have been several flights allowing Americans stuck abroad in Morocco to return home, 90 Day Fiance fans have criticized Nicole for being a "bad mom" and not caring about her daughter.
When one of Nicole's followers asked her on Instagram why she decided against hopping on one of those flights in June, Nicole clapped back, "Every time I've looked into it, it's [twice or thrice] the price of a normal flight that the passenger has to pay."

Nicole continued in her June 26 comment, "Y'all think you've got it all figured out because of whatever you [hear], but [were] you one of the people who had to actually email the government to see? Nope."

Robbalee also reportedly defended Nicole earlier this month when she responded to a hater's comment on social media.
"There was no abandonment, May is getting to spend time with her grandparents while her mommy is away. There is a lot more to this story than a simple answer," Robbalee wrote, according to In Touch.
"Nicole FaceTimes with May almost every day. They watch TV together or she shows her the peppers that grow in the garden. Right now Florida is not even a safe place to come home to, when it is safe to travel she looks forward to coming home."
An insider told the magazine that Nicole's family wasn't "thrilled" about her trip to Morocco in the first place but "they understand that [Nicole is] an adult and can make her own decisions."
"She knows how her family feels about Azan but chooses to follow her feelings over theirs," the insider said, adding that Nicole has been "enjoying" all the quality time she's getting to spend with Azan.

Nicole and Azan are still together after more than four years of dating, and Nicole has reportedly said they're just trying to "navigate this challenging thing called life together."

"They still talk occasionally, but there have been a lot of fights between them on the phone," a source said.
"The family is surprised they're still together... He can't get a visa. She's talked about going back to Morocco, but she doesn't have money. She has to save."
Nicole and Azan met on a mobile dating app years ago when she was 21 years old and living in Bradenton, FL. Azan was 23 years old and from Agadir, Morocco, at the time.
Nicole and Azan got their start on reality TV by starring on Season 4 of the original 90 Day Fiance series, followed by Season 5 of the series.
That later led into an appearance on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? and then Season 4.
Nicole and Azan's initial wedding plans in Morocco in 2018 fell through due to alleged time and financial constraints.
At the time, Azan seemed to convince Nicole to invest $6,000 of her wedding money into opening a beauty store instead, while he planned to contribute $500 to the overall cost.

It's unclear whether that store was a real possibility or will ever actually open considering both Nicole and Azan have made different claims.
Nicole then planned to meet Azan for a fun vacation in Grenada, but Azan chose to cancel their reunion due to an alleged "family emergency."
Nicole therefore booked a trip back to Morocco in 2019, when she thought a wedding would be "highly likely." But the trip got canceled just two weeks later.
Nicole never disclosed the reasons behind canceling that trip to Morocco, but the frustration and disappointment all over her face on Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? pointed to Azan being the decision-maker.

In August 2019, a source told In Touch that Nicole was getting her life "back on track" with a her new job as a barista and an apartment of her own. Nicole had also enrolled her daughter May in kindergarten.
