While performing a radio play together, Nikolaj fell in love with Nukâka at first sight. In the play, he portrayed a pilot whose love interest was a Greenlandic woman, Nukâka's character.

Nikolaj loved Nukâka, but she did not reciprocate his feelings immediately, so he had to work hard to win her heart. Despite this initial challenge, they eventually married in 1998 and have remained together ever since.

Although most of Nikolaj's on-screen roles portray him as a womanizer, he has been a faithful partner to his wife. He and Nukâka have been married for over two decades.

"You have to like each other — that's a good start. And of course, you have to stay physical together. But you also have to be able to laugh. If you can't have fun, then there's no point."

The sweet messages Nukâka dedicates to her husband on her Instagram indicate they are still very much in love. She shared three photos of them in honor of their wedding anniversary in June 2021.
