Nikki DeLoach may have risen to fame in the '90s, but she hasn't aged a day since then. The actress and former Mickey Mouse Club member, now 44, is best known for her role as Lacey Hamilton in the popular MTV series Awkward, which ran from 2011 to 2016. But before she landed that gig, she was just a 12-year-old child star on the All-New Mickey Mouse Club for Disney in 1993. Alongside fellow rising stars like Ryan Gosling and future pop sensations Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake, Nikki wowed audiences with her talent and charm.
Unfortunately, their time in the spotlight was cut short when the show was canceled in 1994. But that didn't stop Nikki and her fellow Mouseketeers from achieving even greater success in the years to come. Nikki herself went on to star in a hit sitcom and even had a stint on the popular American soap opera Days of Our Lives. And if you look at her now, almost 30 years later, you'll see that she hasn't aged a day. Her flowing blonde locks, distinctive cheekbones, and chin are still as recognizable as ever.
But Nikki's journey to fame didn't start with the Mickey Mouse Club. At the age of just 3, she began her extensive training in dancing, acting, modeling, and singing - all in preparation for her future in the spotlight. When her time on the show was cut short, she returned to her secondary school in Georgia before moving back to California in 1995. There, she landed a role as a main cast member in the sitcom Misery Loves Company, playing the character of Tracy.
After that, Nikki joined the '90s girl band Innosense, where she performed until the group disbanded in 2003. But she soon refocused on her acting career, landing roles in shows like the steamy drama North Shore alongside future Aquaman and Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa. She also played Brenda on Days of Our Lives from 2007 to 2009 and starred as the lead character in the sequel to Sandra Bullock's The Net, titled The Net 2.0.
But it was her role as Lacey Hamilton in Awkward that truly put Nikki back in the spotlight. The show, which ran from 2011 to 2016 on MTV, was a hit among audiences and further solidified Nikki's place in the entertainment industry. And she hasn't slowed down since then, appearing in episodes of popular shows like Mad Men and Grey's Anatomy. She also continues to star as Lacey Hamilton in Awkward while juggling her role as a mom to two sons, William and Bennett Christopher, with her husband Ryan Goodell, whom she married in 2009.
Speaking of Ryan, he also rose to fame in the '90s as a member of the pop group Top 5. Today, the family resides in LA, where Nikki makes time for philanthropy work. In 2020, she even enlisted the help of her former Mouseketeer friend Justin Timberlake to perform at a fund-raising event for Children's Hospital L.A., where she serves as the President of the Foundation Board of Trustees.
