Nichola Murphy

I have spent 8 years working in journalism and after joining HELLO! in 2019, I explored the fashion, parenting, homes and weddings verticals before deciding I wanted to work on them all!

I am single-handedly responsible for the weddings vertical, which has seen me secure exclusive coverage of celebrity engagements, weddings and vow renewals, and launch HELLO!'s Bride Guide newsletter which is packed full of expert interviews and evergreen content.

But my passions extend far beyond just weddings. I help set the news agenda for the eight lifestyle verticals, focus on growing all lifestyle traffic on Apple News, and I have worked on breaking news events including European royal weddings and King Charles' coronation.

I was born in London but have indulged my love of travelling by living in the United States and Australia. After gaining a degree in History at the University of Kent, I began my journalism career in Sydney working for B2B publications and interviewing C-suite executives. After moving back to the UK in 2019, I realised my true calling was delving into the lives of celebrities and royals, so I began my journey as a Lifestyle Writer at HELLO! before working my way up to Deputy Lifestyle Editor.
