Clearly a decision working out with varying results for the former Bachelor.

But the all-round good human is speaking out about her life after the show and why sheโ€™s A-OK with not being The Bachelorette.

We donโ€™t know how anyone obtained this footage of usโ€ฆ

But then you realise Channel Ten have delivered some of the biggest emotional blowsโ€ฆ

Three words: Dr. Patrick. Reid.

Chatting to news.com, the real estate agent explained she was faced with a choice between a career or starring as the 2017 The Bachelorette โ€“ which ultimately went to Sophie Monk.

โ€œYou sort of have forks in the road. Youโ€™ve got different choices to make and youโ€™re weighing them all up,โ€ she explained, adding she just started a new job at Caporn Young in Fremantle, WA, this week.

โ€œFor lifelong fulfillment, for me, this was the better option. I thought long and hard about my aims and I know how much I love my real estate career. Itโ€™s the path Iโ€™ll be most proud of,โ€ the blonde beauty added.

Some have speculated that Ten went for Sophie as sheโ€™d bring in โ€œbetter ratings.โ€

But the ever humble Nikki has defended the network.

โ€œI think that with all my dealings with Warner Bros. or Channel Ten, they were always very respectful,โ€ she remarked.

โ€œThey were always aware of my feelings and how I felt. At no point do I think anyone jumped the gun. They were always very respectful.โ€

Things have been a little โ€œtenseโ€ for Alex and Richie and reminds us of this sound piece of adviceโ€ฆ

Richie if you listened to Snowy, youโ€™d be dancing into your happily ever after!

In April, Sophie Monk was announced as the next Bachie queen but according to the Perth beauty there was no crossover between them.

โ€œThere was no crossover, there were no hard feelings or missing out,โ€ she said, adding, โ€œAnd Sophie is a wonderful choice. And funny.โ€

Many contestants on reality TV shows hope and try very hard to remain in the limelight.

But Nikki has kept relatively to herselfโ€ฆ because she genuinely wanted to find love.

^She will do a hella good shout out for family times with a side of Mr Whippy!

The former reality star admitted sheโ€™s quite reluctant to pursue a career in front of the camera, confessing, โ€œ15 minutes is good for me.โ€

โ€œI think that moving forward, I really canโ€™t wait (for a time when) my career is the thing that Iโ€™m recognised for and I really want to be known for that.โ€

โ€œI look forward to the day that Iโ€™m recognised for my career rather than a TV show. That was a small period of time.โ€

Nikkiโ€™s focus is her family, friends and career.

Nikki has such genuine nature โ€“ something that fans of The Bachelor fell for.

Following the finale, NTL chatted to Nikki about her thoughts on putting herself out there again to find love.

At the time she told us, โ€œUmmm, I donโ€™t know? Iโ€™m sorry! I really donโ€™t know.โ€

โ€œEspecially with everything that has happened. Iโ€™m just not at the point to really think about it just yet.โ€

Seven months on, Nikki is still happily single.

โ€œIโ€™m gonna ease myself into it one day. One day. Not one day soon,โ€ she quipped.

โ€œEveryone goes through breakups. Itโ€™s just that mine was more public.โ€

Adding, โ€œBut in everyday life I wouldnโ€™t say my heartbreak was worse than anyoneโ€™s, so I just try and get on with it.โ€
