She was also approached to participate in the French version of The Bachelorette, but she withdrew due to academic commitments.

How did James Argent and Nicoline Artursson?

The rumours about the couple's romance spread when James liked a photo of Nicoline posted to her Instagram account during the World Vision Gala in October 2024.

James initially noticed Nicoline outside his friend Elliot Wright's restaurant as the two first locked eyes.

It is James' first romance since his breakup with Stella Turian in November 2023.

Since making their status official in September 2024, the pair have been inseparable—publicly and privately—spending time away on holiday in Spain, France as well as Essex.

In November 2024, James told OK! magazine "We'd both love to have a family one day, absolutely."

Are James Argent and former Miss Sweden Nicoline Artursson still together?

James was handed a suspended jail sentence after pushing his girlfriend down some steps while on holiday.

After the incident an insider told The Sun: “Their relationship is over and they can no longer speak or contact one another.”

Neighbours contacted the police after hearing Nicoline scream at La Cala de Mijas on the Costa del Sol.

The ordeal saw James, 37, arrested and reportedly given a suspended jail term as well as a "resocialisation course in the field of gender violence."
