Not everyone can effortlessly go from a serious conversation about grief to fun banter in an instant but that’s exactly what makes Nikki DeLoach such a wonder.
Nikki is an amazing actress who has graced the silver screen and small screens alike. Lately, she’s been captivating us with her many lighthearted Hallmark movies, and off camera, she is a proud wife and mother of two young boys.
Jennifer Silliman brings Nikki onto Hearts of Stars to speak candidly about her career and personal experiences with grief after the death of her father. Nikki is an incredibly compassionate soul and this episode of Hearts of Stars showcases that beautifully. If you want to get to know Nikki better before watching the episode, then you’re in the right place! Here’s a bit of background info on Nikki.
This actress has a long history in the entertainment industry but her story starts in 1979 Georgia. Her childhood was spent on a sprawling farmland, zipping around on four wheelers. Unsurprisingly, Nikki had a strong affinity for the limelight growing up. From a young age, she excelled in the world of pageantry and it wasn’t long before she signed an agent to further her career in the entertainment space.
Throwing it all the way back to The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, Nikki joined The Mickey Mouse Club at age fourteen alongside future NSYNC members Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez. JC Chasez and Nikki actually dated for a while when they were teenagers, but it didn’t last. Nikki stayed with The Mickey Mouse Club until it was canceled in 1994.
After briefly attending her hometown high school, Nikki decided to pursue an acting career and moved with her grandmother to Los Angeles. In 1998, NSYNC was popping off as one of the most popular boy bands in the world and Nikki was close friends with the singing group. Not showcasing enough of her talents, Nikki decided to get into the music industry as well. Nikki joined an all-girls group managed by none other than Justin Timberlake’s mother! Unfortunately, Innosense couldn’t find the same success as NSYNC and they broke up in 2003.
Nikki quickly snagged a major role on the North Shore series, which only lasted a year. From then on, she starred in minor roles in things like Windfall, Days of our Lives, and Love and Other Drugs. Nikki continued to get small roles until 2015 when she became one of the faces of Hallmark. She booked a lead role in Christmas Land and her performance was so well-received that she still works with Hallmark today. Nikki’s Hallmark library consists of fourteen heartwarming Hallmark movies as of 2022.
In 2009, Nikki DeLoach leaned back into her singing group legacy by getting married to Ryan Goodell, a member of the boy band Take 5. By 2013, Nikki had a son named William Hudson Goodell. Four years later, another son named Bennett Christopher Goodell was born. Nikki is still happily married to Ryan and they now also have a dog named Windsor.
