It's been six years since she left her AFL star husband Billy Brownless for his best mate Garry Lyon, sparking a feud between the former Footy Show co-hosts.
However it appears the men have mended fences, having spent the past two Christmases together as a blended family.
The once-fractured family reunited for a festive luncheon hosted by Nicky, 50, and Garry, 54, last month, with Billy, 54 and his children, Oscar, Max, Lucy and Ruby on the guest list.
Inside the Brownless-Lyon Christmas family reunion: Nicky Brownless, 50, has described how she reunited her once-fracture family over Christmas by hosting a luncheon. Pictured: Nicky posing next to ex-husband Billy, 54, in 2013, prior to leaving him for his best mate Garry Lyon, 54,
Describing how the reunion came about, Nicky simply told The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday: 'I just said, everyone get on a plane.'
'It was nice to be together,' she added.
Billy and Garry appeared friendly in social media photos taken at a festive lunch hosted by Nicky, at the Red Hill retreat she shares with Garry on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.
