Curtis is an outspoken advocate for fixing and restoring buildings and homes, when possible, instead of simply demolishing them. Moreover, she sees beauty in old houses and would instead “restore it to its former glory” than modernize them. Additionally, she is against the government’s demolition of culturally rich and significant homes.

Usually, Curtis purchases a home, restore it, and then sells it for a profit. Indeed, she has an eye for pre-World War 2 homes. Furthermore, Curtis has worked in various states like Michigan, Ohio, Detroit, and Minneapolis. It was not easy building a name for herself in a traditionally male-dominated industry.

Nicole Curtis’ Fame as an HGTV Start.

At an early age, Curtis began building up her career as a real estate agent, interior designer, and home renovator. By the time she was approached by producers for a possible show, she was already an established figure in her field and well versed in the industry.

Steven Lerner, a part of program development at DIY Network, approached Curtis with a pitch for a program.

Initially, the program would follow her life as a real estate agent, but the DIY repairs and home restoration were much more inviting. Lerner had a difficult time persuading Curtis to do the show. He said,

“It was hard to convince her. We had to ask ‘Can we follow you and not disrupt your life too much?'”

Initially, Curtis was hesitant to accept because she did not want her work to be glorified and simply played up for television. Instead, she wanted a genuine, grassroots approach to fixing up homes and all the details involved with it.

Her down-to-earth and hands-on approach to Rehab Addict was a hit with viewers and was one of the network’s highest-rated shows when it debuted in 2010. Eventually, it was transferred over to HGTV’s prime schedule in 2014 to reach a wider audience.

However, after many years, Curtis was burned out, especially with the events surrounding Tessa. So she took a break for two years before returning with her spin-off, Rehab Addict Rescue, which premiered in January 2021 on HGTV.

Nicole Curtis Husband: Nicole has a son Ethan with her first husband/baby daddy, Steve Cimini

When she was studying at university, Curtis was in a relationship with Steven Cimini. They had a child named Ethan, who was born in 1996 when Curtis was twenty years old.

At the time when Ethan was born, Cimini was absent because he was incarcerated for DUI manslaughter. They tried to raise Ethan together upon his release but ultimately decided to call it quits in 1998.

As a single mother, Curtis worked many jobs to support and raise Ethan. Moreover, Cimini owed her nearly $15 thousand in child support but was absent from their life. In fact, he failed to appear in court, and consequently, there was a warrant of arrest for him.

She later married Shane Maguire and has a son Harper with him.

In her late 30s, Curtis was in an on-and-off relationship with Shane Maguire, a working businessman in Minnesota. However, she got pregnant sometime in 2015 and did her best to keep it a secret. They filmed her show differently to prevent her baby bump from being seen. Apparently, she did so because she was worried about being judged— given that she is 40 and pregnant. Moreover, when her son Harper was born out, Curtis wanted to keep him out of television to protect his privacy.

However, when Maguire found out that he was Harper’s father, he immediately asserted his position as a parent, and the court granted him visitation rights.

Eventually, Curtis and Maguire got into a drawn-out legal battle over the custody of Harper. One of the primary points of the issue initially was Harper’s feeding.

Curtis was exclusively breastfeeding. Maguire had Harper two days of the week, and Curtis could not physically supply enough breast milk to cover for that time.

There was a lot of back and forth over the years between the parents. But they came to a settlement in 2018. In the agreement, both parents generally have an even split of responsibilities and allowances between them.

Kids

Curtis has two sons, Ethan and Harper. Ethan was born while she was young and still studying in university. Moreover, Curtis had to bring him along with her house projects but knew that he needed better.

Furthermore, she had to raise Ethan as a single mother because his father, Steven Cimini, was absent from their life. In fact, her mother had to help him raise her Ethan.

Harper was born when she was 40, and Curtis had a lot of legal battles with his father, Shane Maguire.

Because of this, Curtis was worried that Harper might develop attachment issues because he is constantly bouncing between both parents. Although, they were able to reach an agreement that works for both of them and allows them to co-parent their child.

Nicole is now dating a new Boyfriend Ryan Sawtelle

Although Curtis continues to co-parent Harper with Maguire, it seems that she has found a new relationship to call home. Moreover, she began dating Ryan Sawtelle, the founder of White Heart Foundation, around 2017 but kept it under wraps until almost two years later.

Apparently, they met each other through Instagram when Curtis found out tha Sawtelle was supporting his niece, who had a brain tumor.

At the time, one of Nicole’s team member’s daughters was going through late-stage cancer. Indeed, through this connection, they formed a relationship and have been together ever since.

However, Curtis and Sawtelle prefer to keep their relationship and love life private and out of the public spotlight.

Nicole Curtis does not have a daughter.

When Curtis grew her hair out in 2017 in support of a young girl with cancer, many thought it was for her own daughter. However, Curtis does not have a daughter. Instead, she has two sons, Ethan and Harper.

In reality, it was for the daughter, Teresa, of one of her team members. She was going through late-stage Neuroblastoma, a form of cancer in nerve cells.

To support Teresa and raise awareness, Curtis launched a fundraising movement for her on Facebook, reached out to hugely popular artists such as Katy Perry, and grew out her hair to make a wig for Teresa. Unfortunately, Teresa passed away in June 2017.

Curtis continued to grow out her hair and instead collaborated with Children with Hair Loss to make a wig for somebody else who needed it.
