Congratulations are in order for 16 and Pregnant mom Nikkole Paulun! The 26-year-old former reality star revealed that she got married on Saturday with an Instagram photo of herself and her new hubby (included above) showing off their new rings.
“Married my best freakin friend,” Nikkole captioned the image, adding the wedding date of July 18, 2020 as well as a red heart emoji.
UPDATE – Nikkole later revealed that they eloped and hope to have a traditional wedding ceremony in the future:
WE ELOPED!
We’re planning our big, dream wedding for 2022 (hopefully) but with how crappy this year has been we really wanted to come out of it with something good to remember. And we really just didn’t want to wait years to be married to each other.
Nikkole and her husband Kyle Ledda have been dating for a little more than three years. The couple first went public with their relationship back in September of 2018 when Nikkole shared a photo of the two of them on Instagram. “Meet the love of my life,” Nikkole began her introductory caption. “The kindest, most patient, & loving person I’ve ever known. My heart needed him so bad and I feel beyond lucky every day. He’s exactly what me & the kids needed and we love him so much ❤️”
Nikkole would later reveal on YouTube that she and Kyle had been dating for more than a year and a half at the time. She also revealed that they have known each other since high school. She said she even invited Kyle along to a Kevin Hart stand up show back in late 2012 after she won a pair of tickets. “I took him with me because I had a crush on him,” she recalled in the video. “I took him, but nothing happened. It didn’t really go anywhere, but we stayed friends. We’ve always been friends.”
The two later interacted on SnapChat and Kyle suggested they go on a date. Despite being nervous and having sworn off dating until she was at least 30, Nikkole went through with it. Fast forward three years and they are a happy family of four!
The wedding was some much needed good news for the couple as they are still dealing with the loss of their unborn baby last month. Nikkole revealed that they she went in for an ultrasound when she was 11.5 weeks pregnant and they discovered that the baby had no heartbeat.

Nikkole later updated with an Instagram photo of herself in bed with the following caption:
I want to be honest with you guys and tell you that losing my baby has been even harder on me than I thought it would. Most days I don’t get out of bed until noon. I spend a lot of time asking myself the same questions over & over again. Why did it happen? Was there something wrong with the baby? Is there something wrong with me? Was it the lunch meat I ate? Was I too stressed out? As much as I tell myself or listen to others tell me that it’s not my fault, I can’t get rid of the aching feeling that it somehow was. It just breaks my heart even more that I’m finally with the right person who was SOOO excited to be a dad, only for us to lose the baby. I just want her back and to be happy again 💔
But let’s get back to the good news… Congratulations to Nikkole, Kyle, Lyle, and Ellie on the wedding!
I will leave you with some of Nikkole’s posts expressing her love for Kyle and her gratitude for what he has meant to her life and the life of her kids:
