When news broke of Nicolle Wallace's romantic involvement with her MSNBC colleague Michael Schmidt, concerns arose regarding the potential impact on her professional presence. Nonetheless, an insider shared with Page Six that the anchor prioritizes her work above all else, explaining, "Nicolle is one of the most professional people I know." The pair were first spotted at the SXSW festival amid Nicolle's divorce from her first husband, Mark Wallace. However, there was no drama there, as sources claim the Wallaces had been separated for at least a year before they filed for divorce.

Nicolle and Michael later tied the knot in a private ceremony attended by a select group of close friends and family, as reported by Page Six. Before their wedding, the couple reportedly informed their MSNBC superiors about their relationship, and it allegedly posed no issues.

In November 2023, at the age of 51, Nicolle welcomed a baby girl named Isabella Sloan Schmidt with Michael, who is 11 years her junior. The anchor shared the news during a phone call on "Deadline: White House," saying, "Mike and Liam and I are all smitten with her." Liam Wallace is Nicolle's first child, whom she shares with her ex-husband. She added, "There are pros and cons to being a mom again at 51. You are tired." Notably, Nicolle was not the one to undergo the pregnancy, and according to a report by Page Six, the couple welcomed Isabella through surrogacy.
