on the cover of The Knot’s fall issue, becoming the first out trans woman to receive that honor in the process. The YouTube beauty guru turned makeup mogul opened up about her upcoming wedding plans, her romantic proposal story, and how her soon-to-be husband Dylan (literally) held her hand while she came out as trans to the world in 2020.Nikkie began her beauty influencer career on YouTube at age 14 and has since amassed nearly 14 million subscribers.
It’s an incredible feat and also a massive audience to come out to, especially before she was totally ready to do so. Her hand was forced when blackmailers threatened to out her as trans; Her response was to post a beautiful and moving video on her channel entitled “I’m Coming Out”.
It was a brave moment and fortunately, as she told The Knot, Nikkie didn’t have to go through it alone. “While my coming out was one of the scariest moments of my life, I had a couple of rocks surrounding me.
And one of those people was Dylan. He was everything I hoped he would be for me in that period because he was super, super supportive.
