First marriage to Bridget Forrester
Bridget starts to feel something for Nick and asks Brooke if it was okay if she started dating him. Brooke decides to give her blessing if Bridget truly likes Nick and it isn't a pattern she was creating to get back at her for the Deacon fiasco. Bridget says: "No. I've forgiven you for that. I really do like him." So Brooke says it is fine with her. But they date to Jackie's dismay. The two soon became engaged and even made it to the altar, but the ceremony was cut short when Ridge collapsed after his presumed-dead wife, Taylor, appeared. Following the revelation that Taylor was alive Brooke and Ridge's marriage was declared null. This caused Nick to re-evaluate his feelings for Brooke but she wants to fight for Ridge. So Nick asks Bridget to get married in Las Vegas but they are interrupted by another couple: Thomas and Gaby. Meanwhile Stephanie has a (fake) heart attack and Taylor and Ridge immediately marry each other. Brooke is devastated but she still fights for her love. Nick and Bridget decide to get married at Stephanie's house but the marriage is again stopped by Stephanie who confesses she lied about her heart attack. Believing that fate is trying to tell them something important, Bridget leaves Nick. When Ridge decides to stay with Taylor, Nick confesses his feelings to Brooke, who decides to give him another chance. Unfortunately, Bridget finds out she is pregnant with Nick's baby but when she discovers that Nick and Brooke are having an affair, decides to fake an abortion. Nick chooses Brooke but Bridget, believing he has chosen her, reveals the truth to Nick who decides to hide his love for Brooke and proposes to Bridget. To show Bridget that she is not a hazard for her, Brooke marries Eric, but they soon divorce. In September 2005, Nick and Bridget finally get married on the Shady Marlin. When Nick and Bridget's daughter Nicole was stillborn in February 2006, Bridget realized that she was only hanging on to Nick for the sake of Dominick and Nicole, and that there was no longer anything to keep them together. She soon presented Nick with divorce papers.
Marriage to Brooke Logan
Nick reunited with Brooke, who was engaged to Ridge at the time. Nick ran to stop the wedding of Brooke and Ridge and succeeded. Some time after Brooke and Nick married despite Stephanie and Massimo disapproval. On one of the fashion show television shows Ridge purposely gave Brooke a scintilating kiss causing Nick to lose it. He became drunk and had a one-night stand with Bridget. When Brooke found out about this, she told him the marriage was over and threw him overboard and sped away in a miniature boat saying never again. And she went to Ridge who was dating Donna Logan at this time to tell him what happened.
Acquisition of Forrester Creations
Brooke couldn't understand why she was over there since Taylor claimed she was all into Ridge and wondered why she wasn't running after Ridge now. Taylor continued to make the suggestions to Nick who started to become fearful he was going to lose Brooke after she started working at the Fashion House again with Ridge whose mother Stephanie encouraged him to get Brooke back in the company if he wants his Logan again. To curb Ridge's attempt to woo Brooke back he decides to buy Forrester Creations so he can keep an eye on Ridge. Nick was already upset that he felt he lost Brooke to Ridge Forrester and was outraged when he saw his mother in bandages in a coma due to Stephanie's push. He makes it his goal to punish the Kristen Forrester who Brooke starts to take up for. Undaunted, Nick signed Brooke's sister, Donna, to become the face of his new company and his lead model. In a final confrontation, he faced off with Stephanie, and despite her shattering the windows in the main office, Nick gloated that he had Forrester in the palm of his hand, and until she died, it would remain in his hands. He also becomes outraged when he learns that Ridge slept with his wife a drugged out Brooke Logan in their house and their bedroom. Brooke promises Nick that she'll stay with him if he gives up on this vendetta against the Forresters. He tells her he "can't stand how she takes up for those people." Since they've only been cruel and hateful to her and says it's like she's a glutton for punishment. With Jackie's encouragement, he ordered Stephanie to hand over Forrester Creations to him, or else face time in jail for what she did to his mother. He claimed it was to get justice against the Forresters, but the Forresters claim it's a vendetta.
Second marriage to Bridget
Nick has also gained the help and support of his former wife, Bridget, who is willing to help with Jack, and presented Nick with the blanket that had been made for their own daughter, Nicole, who had died. Nick has decided to give his relationship with Bridget another chance. They get married for the second time on July 14, 2008. On August 1, Katie Logan finds out she's pregnant with Nick's child as a result of them sleeping together on Catalina Island. On his boat Nick told Bridget that Katie is pregnant with his child so Bridget left Nick and they divorce.

Third marriage to Bridget
Bridget decides to give fashion designing a try as she moonlights while working as a doctor at Jackie M Designs.

Nick and Bridget start to reconnect again and they re-marry each other for a third time in 2009. Bridget and Nick decide to get a surrogate and try to have a baby again. Everything goes well until Nick starts to investigate her and discovers she hasn't told him everything about herself. He also discovers she was once raped and she's fearful of men. Nick and Aggie keep it a secret from Bridget and he helps her find closure by going after Graham, a Forrester photographer who almost raped Hope, a teen at the time. They caught him and Hope was saved but Nick had to tell Bridget the truth. Bridget became furious. Bridget believes what he did hiding Aggie's situation for her was tantamount to the Katie fiasco and blasts both of them. She especially becomes outraged when Aggie acknowledges "Yes, she does have feelings for Nick. But promises her she'd never act on those feelings", which Bridget doesn't believe. Bridget has Aggie fired and yells at her and castigates her regarding taking her pre-natal vitamins. She tells her the sooner she has the baby the better and then she can be out of their lives. Bridget rejects Nick's advances and they aren't intimate as she still holds a grudge against him. After Aggie and Bridget get into another verbal altercation, Aggie falls down and collapses as Bridget walks up the stairs. She looks stunned and runs down crying only about the baby. Aggie is rushed to the hospital and it discovers the baby is lost again. Bridget is distraught and leaves in a fit of tears. Bridget lives Nick and goes to Owen. She encourages him to pray with her for the baby that died and for Nicole. They cry a lot and she starts to kiss him a lot slowly and then Owen responds and they make love to each other. In April 2010, Bridget discovers she is pregnant, only to find out it is Owen Knight's baby. Bridget decides not to tell Nick, but to keep it a secret between her, Owen, and Jackie. Nick eventually finds out the paternity at the couple's baby shower hosted by the Jackie M employees. Nick and Bridget are now divorced again after he finds out from Aggie (who is also interested in bedding Nick) about Bridget's one-night stand with Owen and the possibility that Bridget's unborn child could be Owen's.

And on October 8, 2010 Nick fires Bridget, his ex-wife, his mother Jackie and her husband Owen from the Jackie M Design company and makes Amber Moore head designer. He also acknowledges that it hurts him to see Bridget with another man's child, and he doesn't want Bridget in the building at all. He admits to Amber that he had a woman in almost every city as a sailor and that he trained himself in the ability to move on and never let them get under you skin. Amber is thrilled by his faith in her ability to be head designer and hugs him over the position and later she kisses him which Whip, Aggie's cousin spots. Whip later warns Amber not to mess with him if she hurts Aggie because he knows all about her & what she's capable of. Aggie and Nick decided to meet each other in the steam room however, Amber sent Aggie on a fruitless mini-business trip and showed up instead in the steamroom wearing only a towel. Nick rejected her advances however, Amber was caught in the act flirting boldly with her boss by Aggie. After Nick rejected her advances again Aggie confronted her and made it clear that she was to stay away from her man and that she'll never forget that her a so-called "friend" betrayed her.
