Nikki Perkins - Models, Facts and Family

Nikki started her career as a model. She stepped into the industry after she was approached by a random man while she was shopping at a mall. She later found out that the man was from well-known modeling agency.

Nikki initially dreamed of modeling for 'Victoria's Secret.' She has worked with a number of premier modeling agencies such as 'IMG New York' and 'Chic Management.' However, in her initial days in New York, Nikki faced a lot of pressure to look a certain way. People focused on her weight, which led Nikki to follow an extreme weight-loss diet. This made her sink into depression. However, Nikki bounced back after she went back to Australia, where she met Jamie Perkins, whom she later married.

Nikki’s interest in fashion and makeup led her to start her social-media career. She owns a self-titled 'YouTube' channel where she posts makeup tutorials, makeup hauls, product reviews, and related content. The channel also served as a vlogging space through which she kept her fans informed of her pregnancies. The channel now has over 306 thousand subscribers.

Nikki co-owns a family vlog channel, 'Jamie and Nikki,' which hosts vlogs dedicated to their relationship, their marriage, and their two daughters. The channel was created for sharing Jamie’s wedding proposal to Nikki. Following the upload, the video became viral. Nikki and Jamie received numerous requests to create more such videos. They also posted their wedding video, and it instantly increased the number of subscribers on their channel. The couple became one of the most adorable "YouTuber" couples on the internet. Their wedding video has received over eight million views, the highest on the channel, followed by ‘AVA'S FIRST BIRTHDAY SPECIAL!,’ which has earned over six million views. Some of the other videos on the channel with over a million videos are ‘MEETING HER SISTER FOR THE FIRST TIME!
