Dr. RHOM's Nicole Martin has no contact with her younger half-siblings
Dr. Nicole Martijn has yet to meet her handful of half-siblings after her father's death, Miguel Alberto Martin.
“So I did a genetic test, one of those 23 and I, and nothing came up,” Nicole, 38, told exclusively We weekly on Wednesday, January 17, while talking about The Real Housewives of Miami season 6. “The problem with those tests is that it depends on who is in the database. So if these are young kids, about seven years old, they won't be in the database, but at least now my information is in there. So as they get older, we will be a match if they ever decide to do it.”
During a december 2023 episode of RHOM, Miguel dropped the news that he and his girlfriend were expecting twins. When Nicole was asked where the babies took his total number of children, she was shocked to learn that she is one of his eight children, only knowing about her brother.

Nicole said Us that the revelation came as “a huge shock”, but that things have been “going well” since her father's death. “It was difficult at first because it was such a surprise. It happened out of nowhere. No one expected it,” she said. “But we were actually at the best point in our relationship ever, which gave me some closure and some peace.”
Nicole also noted that her father had not provided her with “any information” about her half-siblings before his death in November 2023, adding: “I don't know anything about them, who their mothers are, where they are.”

Despite the happy reunion, Nicole said she was unable to maintain her relationship with Miguel's girlfriend after his death. “We spoke very shortly after he passed away, and the conversation didn't go exactly as I had hoped,” she explained. “That said, my father's last memory is that I was willing to meet her because it was important to him. And so that is what really matters.”
