Pete credits Nicola for introducing him to his new way of life.
Meet Nicola Robinson. She is the fiancé of My Kitchen Rules judge/paleo-pusher Pete Evans.
Nicola is a Kiwi glamour model and according to her Instagram she is also a… um… ‘Nutrition Mermaid’.
Yep. Not touching that one.
Nicola or Nicky Watson as she may also be known, is the ex-wife of Eric Watson, owner of league club Auckland Warriors. She tried to shed her trophy-wife image in her TVNZ special – “Nicky Watson- The Naked Truth”, in which she got her nipple pierced and discussed her multiple breast augmentations.
Pete credits Nicola for introducing him to his new way of life.
In his book Going Paleo Pete says, “I can remember Nic was sitting next to me reading [Primal Body, Primal Mind by Nora Gedgaudas] one night and I felt a sudden jab in my ribs… She had this look in her eye and I knew she had stumbled onto something powerful.”
But while Nicola is riding horses and hanging out with Pete’s daughters Chilli and Indi, it is Pete’s paleo passion that is the subject of media backlash.
The Paleo food philosophy calls for the elimination of all legumes, grains, sugar and dairy. While the Heart Foundation and DAA have both advocated against cutting out any food groups entirely, Pete controversially believes the diet can prevent autism.

This piece annoyed me when it was first posted as it felt bitchy and unnecessary but tonight I feel driven to comment after reading your posts about getting rid of team bitch & stopping online bullying of females. They were great posts but the message is undermined when you also have posts like this one about Pete evans fiancé - basically "naming & shaming" her because she's engaged to someone who's opinion you don't agree with. I personally think you should be apologising to Nicola if you really mean what you say about stopping the online abuse of females & getting rid of the bitch stigma.
Can I get a "hell ya!"?
Theyre both happy & healthy together, so what's the big deal...
Maybe the bit at the end is part of the issue; he believes his diet prevents autism. Apparently it also prevents mental illness and diabetes. He has no scientific basis for this, and he is not a dietitian. He is making dangerous unfounded claims – dangerous because he deletes evidence presented on his Facebook page that go against his claims, and convinces people to stop eating entire food groups – healthy foods – with a claim that all the experts are wrong and he is right. That's the big deal. I don't care what he eats, but he shouldn't pretend he is anything more than a TV chef, and should not give dietary advice to anyone other than himself.
Really?
I think he looks a little gaunt...Im glad theyre happy.. But a few more different kinds of fruit and veg can't hurt...
