Nicole Scherzinger has added yet another achievement to her impressive resume by winning a Tony Award. Following her recent success, it’s likely that at least one Bravo TV celebrity was rooting for her: Zack Wickham. During a radio interview on Andy Cohen’s show in May, she shared some surprising insights into her close relationship with Zack, a cast member of The Valley.
She revealed that Zack wasn’t just her assistant; he also happened to be her sister’s childhood best friend from Kentucky. When he made the move to Los Angeles and needed a job, she took him on as her assistant for several years. Nicole jokingly mentioned, “He was my sister’s friend, so I kind of got stuck with Zack!”
Describing Zack as “like a little brother” to her, Nicole showered him with praise. In response, Zack reciprocated the affection on Instagram by commenting on the interview post, saying, “Fam for life. [Nicole] love you!” along with a heart emoji.

Nicole gave more insight into Zack’s work ethic and called him “great” as her assistant. “Zack is actually very intelligent, and he thinks fast and on his feet,” she told Andy.
It turns out one of Zack’s biggest career goals from a young age also became a reality. “His big dream was to become a reality TV star…that’s all he talked about 24/7,” she said. “When I heard that it happened, I was over the moon for him.”
She hopes The Valley viewers appreciate her fellow Kentucky native. “I hope they get to see all the good sides of him because he’s very funny, full of life, and he’s got a great effervescent energy,” she added.
What does Zack Wickham do for a living?
After being an executive assistant to Nicole, Zack became a freelance communications and social media expert. He received an undergraduate degree in Communication and Media Studies from the University of Louisville, according to his LinkedIn profile, and obtained his Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Bellarmine University.
He recently gave The Daily Dish a career update, saying he now works primarily with celebrities and influencers. “I’ll either do a social media campaign for them, or come up with like the overarching, creative directing [for] a brand deal they have,” he explained.
What’s next for Zack Wickham’s career?
He also shared more on one of his future career goals: start an LGBT organization focused on healthcare. “It’s an education-based charity,” he told The Daily Dish. “That’s like my big goal for let’s say two to three years out—to have it up and running.”
He revealed more on why he’s so passionate about this project. “There’s just so many times that as a person in the LGBT community, we are scared to go to the doctor because we don’t want to get misinformation or don’t wanna be discriminated against,” he said.
He began to tear up when sharing he’s been personally impacted. “That’s been my biggest passion…that I’m just now starting to figure out how to reality and make into a reality,” he added.
