Nicole da Silva is best known for her role as Franky Doyle in the popular Foxtel prison drama Wentworth.
Da Silva was born in Sydney, New South Wales, on September 18, 1981. Her family is from Portugal, so she is able to comprehend and speak a little Portuguese.
In Wentworth, the 40-year-old actress appeared in 55 episodes spanning the first six seasons, from 2013 to 2018.
Franky is a lesbian character who served as the primary antagonist in season 2 before becoming the protagonist in season 3.
Fans speculate that Da Silva may also be a lesbian due to her relative reticence regarding her personal life.
Her silence has raised concerns like: Is Nicole da Silva gay? Is she courting someone at present? Is she wedded?
Let’s find out.
Is Nicole da Silva Gay?
Da Silva portrayed a lesbian on Wentworth and has frequently advocated for the LGBT community. However, she has not come out as homosexual.
During a 2016 interview with Star Observer, the Wentworth actress who portrayed Franky advocated for the LGBT community and explained why Australian television and film must depict the lives and relationships of the LGBT community.
“Because lesbian relationships are so uncommon, the LGBT community is generally accepting of lesbian relationships or multiple lesbian relationships being portrayed on screen.”
Franky’s story was concluded in the first three episodes of the sixth season of Wentworth before she departed the show in 2018.
This role earned da Silva the 2014 ASTRA Award for Most Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor, as well as multiple nominations.

During her interview with News24, she discussed her December 2019 engagement and the couple’s decision to proceed with the wedding despite the covid epidemic.
“We didn’t want our marriage to be put on hold, even if we couldn’t have the party we were planning,” she explained. We didn’t like the notion of our wedding anniversary being unrelated to anything, so we decided to get married on our fifth dating anniversary.
The couple exchanged their vows in front of a small group of close friends and family in the officiant’s garden.
After their wedding, they were observed reveling at an Italian restaurant.
How Did Nicole da Silva Meet Her Spouse?
In 2016, one of Silva’s close friends from her college radio station took her to a braai, where she met her spouse, Chris.
Her companion persuaded her to go to the open fireplace, despite her initial opposition. Chris, her now-husband, was a co-worker of her friend’s spouse, and they hit it off instantly the night they met.
“We struck it off and exchanged some banter, but we did not exchange numbers or anything. A couple of days later, he sent me a message via Facebook’s inbox.”
A week after meeting at the campfire, the couple went on a date and have been together ever since. In April 2018, Da Silva announced she was expectant with the couple’s first child, and in July 2018, she gave birth.
