Actress and former Mickey Mouse Club cast member Nikki DeLoach seems to have barely aged a day since rising to fame in the ’90s.
Nikki, now 44, is best known for starring as Lacey Hamilton in the MTV series Awkward from 2011 to 2016.
Prior to starring in the hit comedy-drama, child star Nikki was a member of the All-New Mickey Mouse Club for Disney in 1993.
Aged only 12, Nikki performed alongside fellow rising stars Ryan Gosling and future pop sensations Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake.
Their time in the spotlight was cut short when the series was axed in 1994 – but that didn’t stop its stars from going on to bigger and greater things – including a hit sitcom for Nikki, and a stint on the American soap opera Days of Our Lives.
Almost 30 years later, Nikki hardly seems to have aged at all, retaining her familiar flowing blonde and wavy locks, along with her distinctive cheekbones and chin.

The former child star began her extensive training for fame at the age of only 3 – including lessons in dancing, acting, modelling and singing.
After her time as a Mouseketeer was cut short, Nikki returned to secondary school in Georgia.
She returned to California in 1995, scoring a role as a main cast member in the sitcom Misery Loves Company, in which she played Tracy.

After this time, she joined the ’90s girl band Innosense, with whom she performed until the group disbanded in 2003.
Refocusing on acting, Nikki appeared in the steamy drama North Shore in 2004, alongside future Aquaman and Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa.
Nikki went on to play Brenda on Days of Our Lives from 2007 to 2009 and also appeared as the lead character in the sequel to Sandra Bullock’s The Net, titled The Net 2.0.

She later appeared in episodes of Mad Men and Grey’s Anatomy, while also continuing to star as Lacey Hamilton in the MTV sitcom Awkward.
Nikki continues to keep busy, starring in the Hallmark made-for-TV movie franchise Curious Caterer, playing single mom, Colorado caterer and amateur detective Goldy Berry.
Outside of her film and TV work, Nikki shares two sons, William, 10, and Bennett Christopher, 6, with her husband Ryan Goodell, 43, whom she married in 2009.

Like Nikki, Ryan rose to fame in the ’90s – appearing as a member of the pop group Top 5. The family continue to live in LA, where Nikki balances her acting work with local philanthropy.
In 202, she enlisted former Mouseketeer Justin Timberlake to perform at a fund-raising event for Children’s Hospital L.A, where she sits as President of the Foundation Board of Trustees.
