Has been in a long term relationship with comic Bob Goldthwaite. Some sources claim they are engaged. They met while filming the TV show, "Unhappily Ever After" (1995).

There are TV stars that deserve to be stars, and there are TV stars that are incredibly lucky. Then there are second-echelon stars that, for one reason or another, probably deserve better. And Nikki is in that group even though many critics make a habit of trashing her.

Nikki Cox has played sexy characters on television, but in real life she only has eyes for one man -- Bob ``Bobcat'' Goldthwaite. The 22-year-old star of the WB sitcom ``Nikki'' is engaged to the caffeinated comedian, who is 16 years her senior. The two met on the set of ``Unhappily Ever After,'' the defunct WB comedy in which Cox got her big break and Goldthwaite was the voice behind a puppet named Mr. Floppy.
