Family and early life
Mitchell was born in Sacramento, California to Ellen, a British homemaker and Eddie T. "Mitch" Mitchell, an African American United States Air Force pilot. Her parents had separated when she was a child (though they later reunited), and Nicole and her three brothers, Trevor, Nathan, and Darius were raised by their mother, Ellen.
Career
Mitchell began her modelling career at age 13. Within a year, Nicole won an international modelling contest and signed with the Ford Modeling Agency and then subsequently to top Paris agency glamour models. Mitchell travelled to Europe and spent 7 years modelling for top design houses, including Chanel, Valentino, Yves St. Laurent, Ungaro, and more.
Mitchell is now retired from modelling. She has developed her own jewelry line, known as "FLP Jewelry Design," which stands for Friendship, Love, and Peace. In addition to her entrepreneurial endeavors, Mitchell serves as an executive producer and reality star on VH1's Hollywood Exes and is a successful business owner.
Personal life
Mitchell began a longtime romantic relationship with Eddie Murphy after meeting him in 1988 at an NAACP Image Awards show. They lived together for almost two years before getting married at the Grand Ballroom of The Plaza Hotel in New York City on March 18, 1993. In August 2005, Mitchell filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences". The divorce was finalized on April 17, 2006.
In June 2009, Nicole's partner was Michael Strahan, a retired American NFL player. In August 2014, Michael and Nicole called it quits, owing to busy schedules.
