Unfortunately, Nicole was bilked out of $7 million of her divorce settlement in a failed investment scheme. In 2010, Nicole was rumored to be broke, having blown through the other half of her divorce settlement.
Her financial issues have clearly recovered slightly since 2010, or at least she has chosen a very good person to date, because in December 2013 she and fiancé Michael Strahan, a retired NFL American football player, purchased a $16 million mansion in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, Strahan and Murphy split up in 2014 due to their busy schedules, ending their five-year engagement; they had been dating since 2007.
Other people Murphy has been romantically linked to include NBA star Jimmy Jackson, Nick Cannon, and Drake. She also caused controversy when she was photographed kissing married director Antoine Fuqua in Italy in 2019.
