Mitch, who is an accountant and semi-professional footballer, was first pictured with Nicola at Elton John’s concert in June 2022.
Her fiancé plays for Essex team Grays Athletic and captained the Great Britain team at the European Maccabi Games in Israel.
Nicola’s last public relationship was with Charlie Fennell, who she dated for six years until the end of 2013, citing that the relationship had ‘fizzled out’.
Prior to this she was in a brief relationship with Carl Davies, who she suffered a campaign of online harassment from following the breakout of the romance.
He was spared jail but handed a restraining order after being convicted of stalking Nicola. The harassment included threatening to stab and burn her, after setting up 35 fake social media accounts to send thousands of messages.
He targeted the pop-star over four years after their relationship broke down. Nicola never replied to any of the messages but meticulously copied every message which she then handed over to police.
He was later jailed for two years and eight months after he admitted sending death threats to former BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin and threatening to rape her daughter.
Girls Aloud headlined day one of the popular event at Preston Park, with chart-topper Mika set to bring Sunday’s performances to a close.

The Love Machine hitmakers delighted fans by performing a stellar set list that included the likes of Watch Me Go, as well as being joined by Eurovision star Olly Alexander for a rendition of The Loving Kind.
The performance also included a cover of Madonna’s smash hit tune Material Girl.
Fans rushed to X (formerly Twitter) to praise the amazing headline act, dubbing their set as ‘unreal’ and ‘absolutely incredible’:
‘Finally saw Girls Aloud live at Brighton Pride. they were unreal. like insanely amazing #BrightonPride #Fabulosa.’
‘Wow Girls Aloud were so so so good at #BrightonPride.’
The Pride performance comes after the girl group finished up their 20th anniversary reunion tour last month, which ended with an exclusive O2 Priority gig in London.
The girl group toured England, Scotland, Ireland, and Northern Ireland from mid-May to the end of June, performing 30 dates in total.
The Girls Aloud Show tour was the group’s first tour without Sarah Harding and they paid tribute to her every single show.
Girls Aloud incorporated imagery and even vocals of Sarah into the performances of their hit songs.
A notable inclusion was Sarah’s infamous ‘walking Primrose’ bridge in their 2008 smash hit The Promise.
This was especially emotional when the group performed in Sarah’s native Manchester with Sarah’s mother Marie in attendance.
Sarah announced one year prior to her death at 39 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer which sadly spread to other parts of her body.
During her last few months, Sarah moved in with Cheryl and her son Bear who she shares with Liam Payne.
Following her death, Nadine, Cheryl, Kimberley and Nicola made the decision to fulfil Sarah’s last wish and head out on tour to celebrate her.
Profits from the completely sold-out The Girls Aloud Show were donated to The Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal, which has helped raise vital funds for research into the disease.
