Nycole Dias: Reality TV Star on Identity, Family, and Finding Her Path

Nycole Dias, star of “Real Girls in the Jungle” and “Love Island,” has captivated audiences. we sat down with Nycole to discuss her journey from a strict upbringing to finding her own voice and identity. Welcome, Nycole! Thank you for taking the time to speak with Archyde News.

Thank you for having me,Sarah. ItS great to be here.

Let’s dive right in. You’ve spoken openly about moving to amsterdam as a young child and the challenges your family faced as immigrants. Can you tell us a bit more about those early years and how they shaped who you are today?

Those early years where definitely formative. Constantly moving, living with other families… it instilled a sense of resilience in me. We didn’t have much, but we had each other. It taught me the value of family and the importance of adaptability – skills that have served me well,especially in the world of reality TV.

At a young age,you realized you were bisexual,but felt unable to discuss it at home. That must have been incredibly difficult. It’s amazing that you share your sexuality openly. What advice would you give others from strict upbringings who are experiencing something similar?

It was tough, definitely. My advice would be to find your support system. Whether it’s friends, a mentor, or an online community, having people you can confide in is crucial. And remember,your identity is valid,nonetheless of what anyone else says. Don’t let societal pressure define who you are. Choose your people and be true to yourself.

your story about how your mother reacted to your Instagram post resonated with many. It is indeed commendable that you both have found a resolution. How would you describe the current relationship with your family?

It’s a work in progress, but it’s good. We’ve come a long way since the initial conflict. There’s been a lot of growth and understanding on both sides. Family is critically important to me, and I’m grateful that we’ve been able to rebuild our relationship.

You were raised in a strict Catholic household.How did that upbringing influence your decision to pursue a career in the public eye, especially considering the potential scrutiny? Does it influence you today?

It was a big contrast. Growing up, I had very limited freedom. Now, I’m in the public eye making bold choices on reality tv. Initially, the thought was frightening honestly. but deciding to live life by my own rules is quite liberating. The key, I think, is to stay grounded in my values and not let the noise get to me.

You are in the latest season of “Real Girls in the Jungle” alongside Beate van “Of Bachelor”. Can the viewers expect to see the Jungle version of the strict Catholic girl come out?

(Laughs) Well, you’ll have to tune in to see! But I can promise you’ll see a side of me that’s both vulnerable and strong. I definitely pushed myself outside of my comfort zone, and it was an incredible experience, and people get to see me making new friendships.

What’s next for Nycole Dias? What are your future aspirations?

I’m continuing to work on my makeup artistry, and exploring other opportunities in the entertainment industry. I’m also passionate about using my platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health awareness. Ultimately,I want to inspire others to live authentically and chase their dreams,no matter what obstacles they face.

looking back on your journey so far, what’s the most important lesson you’ve learned?

That you are in charge of your own life. And even though things are uncomfortable and hard at times, you can always count on yourself.
