When a fan asked Nicole to comment on those breakup rumors, Nicole insisted they are "100% NOT TRUE."
"I [don't know] where this is coming from," Nicole said. "Make sure when you read articles, you check when it was posted. Sometimes old articles circulate. We are still happily together."

When another fan expressed annoyance over the fact "everyone [keeps] saying" Nicole and Azan have called it quits on their romance, Nicole replied, "I really don't know [why those rumors have spread]."
"I haven't seen any articles [saying we've split]," Nicole continued in her response. "I bet someone just said it and kept spreading it. But can we just take a moment and say how crazy it is with how many articles there are about me in the last couple years."
Nicole and Azan met on a mobile dating app several 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.
The couple has stayed together although they've canceled their wedding multiple times, and Nicole travels to Morocco whenever she can to see her love since Azan's K-1 visa had been denied.
One fan asked Nicole, "What makes you continue your relationship? Don't you get tired of [the] distance?"

And Nicole responded, "I continue our relationship because we love each other, and we want to be together. Distance doesn't mean you give up. It just means you have to fight harder to be together. The journey makes us stronger as a couple and individuals."

Nicole was also asked why she doesn't just date American men.
"It's not about American or foreign men," Nicole answered, insisting she never intentionally looked for a man who lived far away.
"I fell in love with Hassan, and we will fight to be together," she added, referring to Azan by his real name.

In addition, a follower asked Nicole why she doesn't block all of her haters, who tend to be skeptics her relationship with Azan is genuine and will work out.
"I do [block] the really bad ones, but for the others I leave them so they can see how great my life really is," Nicole replied.
During a recent fourth-season episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Azan told Nicole over FaceTime he'd like to get married the next time she visits him in Morocco.
"I know, like, this is the time, like, I really, like, I want to get married, you know?" Azan told Nicole over the phone, as she flashed a huge smile.
"You are ready this time?" Nicole asked.

Nicole said during the episode she and Azan would wed during her next trip to Morocco and she was convinced this time was going to be different because they had been under a lot of pressure time-wise and financially before.
Nicole told the cameras a simple, on-paper wedding would be "ideal" for them at that point.
A source told RadarOnline in early April that Nicole planned to attend her sister's wedding in June and then go back to Morocco to get married.
But Nicole confirmed in her Instagram Stories prior to the wedding she and Azan probably won't be getting married this summer as sources had led fans to believe.
"Is it true about the wedding this summer?" a fan asked Nicole in a Q&A session that took place last month, according to In Touch.
"Probably not this 'summer,' but this year is highly likely," Nicole reportedly replied.
The next time Nicole sees Azan will mark the first time the lovebirds have reunited since 2018.

Nicole has said she'd be willing to stay in Morocco for an open-ended period of time when they marry if Azan's visa to enter the United States gets denied again.
Prior to their stint on Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Nicole and Azan also appeared on Seasons 4 and 5 of the original 90 Day Fiance series as well as Season 3 of Happily Ever After?.
