Who is Nick Daicos’s Girlfriend?
Nick Daicos’s girlfriend is Annalise Arlette—a model and social media personality who’s been linked to the Collingwood superstar since late 2022. Sometimes, when you catch glimpses of them together—be it glammed up at the Brownlow or casual on Insta—it just feels like they actually enjoy each other, you know? She’s genuine, supportive, and not shy about her pride for Nick and his brother, Josh Daicos (another Magpies gun, for anyone not following their family dynasty). There’s more to Annalise than just dating a famous footy player, but you can tell she’s a fan of the game, too.

About Annalise Arlette
So, who is Annalise beyond the pretty pictures and the bold headlines? She’s legit—her Instagram isn’t just carefully curated flat lays and promo shots, either. You’ll spot funny candids, tongue-in-cheek captions, travel shots, and plenty of proud, affectionate nods to Nick.
Rumour has it she’s been working as a model for some big Aussie brands and often goes by “Arlette” professionally (it’s got a bit of a chic European vibe, doesn’t it?). In interviews and posts, Annalise comes across as approachable, but she’s not afraid of playfully roasting Nick for his Crocs obsession or celebrating his on-field wins with heartfelt posts.
There was this one time at a post-match function—she cheered so loudly for Nick’s late-game heroics, the Collingwood aunties in the second row asked if she’d come every week (maybe she should). Her energy? Totally infectious.
How Did They Meet?
The exact “how we met” story hasn’t made it to TikTok or tabloid exposés (yet), but word around Melbourne is that Annalise and Nick started dating in late 2022, bonding over a love of the same coffee spots and, apparently, a shared low-key sense of humor. In interviews, she’s mentioned how much she admires Nick’s focus—definitely not just another pretty face riding a footballer’s coattails.
Their social posts don’t overdo the couple-y stuff either. Sometimes it’s just a snap of Annalise at the MCG, hair tied back, holding up a sign with a wobbly “GO PIES!” scrawled in black marker. It’s messy, genuine, not overproduced. A relief, right?
What Makes Annalise Different?
Plenty of people date footy stars, but something about Annalise feels a bit fresher. Maybe it’s that she genuinely seems invested—not only in Nick, but in the Daicos family, too. In a recent interview, she called both Nick and his brother “special in every way,” nudging them to keep their feet on the ground even as their profile blows up.
Annalise also joked that Nick’s playlist is “about 50% Taylor Swift and 50% 2000s club bangers”—which paints an especially relatable (and slightly embarrassing) picture for anyone who’s ever tried to grab the aux cord from their boyfriend.
She’s also done the rounds with footy fans and hasn’t shied away from banter, whether it’s replying to playful DMs (“Tell Nick he’s a lock for the Brownlow!”) or giving Collingwood memes a quiet like. And that’s probably why both footy fans and fashion magazine watchers rate her—they see she’s in it for more than headlines.
Annalise and the Daicos Brothers: The ‘Special’ Bond
Annalise is especially vocal about her admiration for both Daicos brothers. She often praises their work ethic, camaraderie, and down-to-earth nature—even as their life gets increasingly high-profile. It’s not always the case that partners gel with the brotherly dynamic, but by all accounts, Annalise is a regular at Daicos family lunches and game nights.
Apparently, she’s even tried (and failed) to teach Nick the right way to make pasta sauce. Anyone who’s willingly entered into a Daicos v. Daicos Mario Kart showdown deserves a medal, honestly.
