"Even though I told my mom that we were talking about opening a store, we never winded up going through with it... There was no store," Nicole, 24, confirmed.
Nicole intends to marry Azan when she visits him again in Morocco on the upcoming Happily Ever After? season, but their wedding plans have already fallen through multiple times -- with the latest incident being in 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s third season.
Nicole traveled to Morocco after Azan's K-1 visa was denied in the hope they'd tie the knot and obtain a spousal visa for Azan so he could eventually move to the United States.
But the ceremony was postponed due to financial constraints, and Azan seemingly convinced Nicole to invest their wedding money into opening a beauty store instead.
"Azan is living off her... He's milking her for all he can," Nicole's stepfather Joe Fouraker told RadarOnline last year.
Nicole gave Azan $6,000 to open the alleged beauty store in Morocco, while he only contributed $500 to the company.
Azan also refused to show Nicole's mother the store -- or even a photo of the building -- when she was visiting the pair in Morocco, sparking speculation it was all a scam.

"I am surprised the purchasing of the store takes precedence over the wedding," Nicole's mom said during a third-season episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
"That looks suspicious. Maybe this whole store thing is Azan's get-rich-quick scheme."

"Why did y'all decide to push it off?" Nicole's sister Rachael asked as they were making lunch together.
"We decided to just like, start a shop or something to get, like, an income and then kind of get married," Nicole replied.
"So how's the shop going," Nicole's sister followed up.
Nicole seemed uncomfortable with the question and responded vaguely by simply saying, "It's going. It's a shop."
Nicole then admitted the reality of the situation in an interview with the show's producers.
"Even though I told my mom that we were talking about opening a store, we never winded up going through with it," Nicole explained.

"There is no store," Nicole admitted. "But I haven't told my family because my family does nothing but grill me."
Nicole was shown venting about how she was tired of waiting around in order to begin her life with Azan, whom he young daughter May calls "Daddy."
"I miss Azan," Nicole shared. "Having to come back without getting married really sucks."
Nicole's sister confessed to cameras Nicole "really wanted to move forward with the wedding" last year and so it made her family wonder how much of the cancelled event was Azan's doing.
During a recent Q&A session with fans on her Instagram Story, Nicole revealed she and Azan had put their wedding on hold last year because there was "too much pressure," and "not enough time or money."
"You can't rush this kind of stuff," she added on social media. "Do it in the right moment and it wasn't the right moment yet."
Prior to starring on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Nicole and Azan -- who met on a mobile dating app -- also appeared on Season 4 and Season 5 of the original 90 Day Fiance series.
