When it was suggested on the 2007 show Nikki would later have a reversal, he joked he would get a second operation just to make sure the first one worked.
Clearly, all that changed after he met Courtney.
Nikkitied the knot with model Courtneyin March 2014 at Greystone Mansion in Los Angeles in front of family and friends, his rep confirmed to PEOPLE. Peacocks greeted the 130 guests on arrival at the wedding, which had a gothic-rock-meets-French-countryside theme.
“They wed in a very sweet, religious-based ceremony,” a source told PEOPLE after the wedding. “They couldn’t say “I do’ fast enough.”
Nikki popped the question to Courtney two years into their courtship while vacationing with theHow2Girlexpert in St. Bart’s. They spent their sun-soaked honeymoon in Bora Bora.
It was the musician’s third trip down the aisle. He was previously married toPlayboyplaymate Brandi Brandt (with whom he shares his three oldest children) and actressDonna D’Errico, who is Frankie-Jean’s mother.

Nikki previously opened up about fatherhood — and his desire to expand his brood — in a 2015 interview withThe Guardian, calling his connection with Courtney his “last marriage.”
“I want to have another child,” revealed the “Dr. Feelgood” hitmaker. “I have four amazing children and it’s been the greatest thing that’s ever happened in my life. They teach me every day. I try to show them what I’ve learned.”
And his love for his family knows no bounds. “No matter what happens in my kids’ lives, I’ll be there for them. Myfamily means everything to meand I will do anything for them,” Nikki toldThe Guardian.
“If somebody offered me a lethal injection right now, that would guarantee my kids will live forever, I would take it,” he insisted. “With my wife, they’re the most important thing in my life.”
In addition to expanding their family, this year is already pretty busy for the couple. Courtney is working on a luxury flower line, Bouquet Box with celebrity florist Marks Garden and Nikki’s biopicThe Dirton Netflix is coming out this March.
