She is an actress, dancer, and glamour model and is married to Rap / Hip Hop musician Ice-T. Coco has recently gained a huge following as a pin-up model and has appeared on the cover of dozens of magazines worldwide.
Nicole's parents were actors who met on the set of Bonanza. As a small child, her younger brother would mispronounce Nicole's name, saying "Cole Cole" or "Co co" in place of "Nicole". Eventually family and friends also began addressing Nicole as Coco. The family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico when she was 10. She grew up as a tomboy, with her father she rode quads and played football, doing everything boys do.
Coco began break dancing (Jazz, Tap and ballet) at 6 years old and was introduced to the stage early by her mother. She was involved in many productions at the Alt Theater in Albuquerque. She then moved into modeling and started entering competitions. At 14, she won the Beverly Hills Studio modeling contest, her first model search contest. The main prize was a $20,000 scholarship to attend the school where her classmates included the likes of Jessica Alba and Hilary Swank.
Once becoming an adult, Coco began specializing in swimsuit and Lingerie modeling, calendars, catalogs and videos. At 18, she won the 1998 Miss Ujena contest in Mexico. Although Coco states she always had nice sized breasts and buttocks, she wanted them to better fit her shape, so she enhanced her breasts to '39 DD' and soon after went into nude modeling. In 1999, she married Mike Williams, but they divorced in 2003.
In 2001, Coco was employed for six months by Playboy, working their events and parties at the Playboy Mansion. She also appeared in low-budget R-rated films such as Southwest Babes, released in 2001, Desert Rose (2002), Angel Blade (2002) and The Dirty Monks (2004).

Coco releases calendars and DVDs featuring behind-the-scenes footage of her various photo shoots each year, and in 2008 her website attracted over 2 million hits per week. In the beginning of 2005 she married actor/rapper Ice-T. She is frequently seen with him at red carpet events and is known for her sexually provocative outfits.
