Nicole Williams English says she has nothing to worry about after hiring a beautiful nanny.
“It just shows growth on my part because I feel like if you cut to 10 years ago, I probably would have never wanted a nanny around [my husband] Larry [English] or in my house or anywhere — especially if she’s beautiful,” Nicole, 42, exclusively told Us earlier this month when promoting The Girls: A Khloé Kardashian Project. “Now it just shows my growth because I’m like, ‘Yes, she’s beautiful, and I love her.’ She’s like family to me now. And yes, she’s outside in her bikini with my daughter in the pool while I’m not there, and I don’t care because I trust my husband 100,000 percent.”
In Hulu’s new reality show, cameras document Khloé’s inner circle — which also includes Olivia Pierson, Natalie Halcro, Khadijah Haqq-McCray, Malika Haqq and Yris Palmer — as they balance motherhood, careers, relationships and life in the public eye.
Although some of the cast was shocked to learn about Nicole’s attractive nanny, her closest friends knew there was nothing to worry about.
“Natalie and Olivia, knowing Larry and being his best friend as well, know how Larry is, and they’d be like, ‘Absolutely not. He would never look at another [woman]. He would never bat an eye,’” Nicole shared. “Everybody’s entitled to their own opinion, and I do think that what matters the most is me and how I feel and my relationship and how solid I know my marriage is, and I’m not worried about that.”
Nicole and Larry, 40, first signed up for reality TV when they appeared on the E! reality series WAGS from 2015 to 2017. Cameras followed a group of ladies who were romantically linked to professional athletes.
During the show, viewers watched the couple get married during a romantic ceremony at the Montage Laguna Beach in Orange County, California. They are now raising 3-year-old daughter India and pros at navigating the peaks of valleys of their relationship.
“Because we started off on such a strong foundation and we were really best friends, we’ve remained best friends throughout this whole time,” Nicole told Us.
“How we started, you know, we’re traveling, we’re partying together, filming a TV show together, and then as time goes on you’re building a family, and then a baby comes, and then you have more responsibilities. With that, changes happen in your relationship, and you have to try to do things to keep that spark alive and to remember how we used to be,” she continued. “Marriage is definitely work, but at the end of the day, we are best friends, and we love to be with each other. I think if you have that solid foundation, you can pretty much get through anything. But we just have to work hard on finding time for ourselves, like date nights and little staycations … and just kind of like reliving those times when we were younger and our relationship was fresh.”
In a separate interview with Us before The Girls began streaming, Nicole admitted that she had spoken freely to the cast about love, sex and her marriage to the former NFL player.
While it may be TMI to some, Nicole said it’s just longtime girlfriends chatting about life.
“I feel like with girlfriends, I won’t say too much, but with girlfriends and hanging out with your best friends, having a couple drinks, you kind of just spill the beans on everything — even if it is very personal,” Nicole told Us. “And girl chat sometimes goes a little too far, and this definitely went there.”
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model added, “Sometimes you overexaggerate a little bit when you’re drinking, and it just led to what you guys will see.”
The Girls: A Khloé Kardashian Project is streaming now on Hulu.
