'America's Next Top Model' Winner Nicole Linkletter: Where is She Now?
By Lillian Marx
Nicole Linkletter caused some controversy as the winner of America’s Top Model Cycle 5. Some people absolutely loved her, but others, not so much. Since she beat out Nik Pace and Bre Scullark for the win on ANTM, Nicole has definitely found some modeling success. She’s branched out to follow her passions elsewhere as well.
Nicole Linkletter Now
In 2005, the North Dakota native walked away from the show with $100,000, a contract with Ford Models, and a CoverGirl contract. That victory led her to model for big names like Burberry, and she also did ads for Forever 21.
Today she’s signed with HRI Talent, but judging by her Instagram it seems like she’s keeping busy in all aspects of her life. She’s a court-appointed special advocate, and she’s obviously enjoying being a fantastic mom. She lives in L.A. with her husband, Adam Nathanson, and the two have a son, Theo, and a baby daughter, Olive, whose adorable faces are all over Nicole’s social media. You can read about Nicole’s experience with motherhood on her blog, named after her son’s first words: No Way Mama.
15 years out from ANTM, it looks like Nicole has found a pretty ideal balance between home and career.
