However, Nicole and Lucas also have history, and were even married for a brief moment in time (via Soap Central). Shockingly, this isn't the only man that the two women have both been involved with. Sami considers EJ DiMera to be the love of her life, but over the years, the couple's relationship has been rocky. During times when Sami and EJ have been split up, he's often turned to Nicole. EJ has been married to both Nicole and Sami which has only caused the animosity between them to grow, per Soaps in Depth.
Sami and Nicole have tried to ruin each other's lives many times
Things get even more complicated between Sami Brady and Nicole Walker when you dive deeper into their love lives. Both women have been married to Rafe Hernandez, meaning that over the years, they've shared three spouses in common.

When Nicole and Eric got together, Sami was furious and did everything she could to keep the pair apart. When Nicole left Eric heartbroken multiple times, Sami's hatred towards Nicole only grew. The two women have done many things to ruin each other lives, such as exposing infidelity to their spouses which caused the end of their marriages, per Celebrating the Soaps. However, their children have also gotten mixed up in their bitter feud over the years as well.
Nicole and Sami have battled over children in the past
At one point during their feud, "Days of Our Lives" viewers watched Sami Brady find out that she was pregnant with EJ DiMera's child again.

However, Nicole Walker got wind of Sami's condition, per Soaps.com.
During this time, Nicole was also expecting a baby with EJ. Sadly, Nicole suffered a miscarriage but continued to fake a pregnancy. Nicole planned to adopt the child of a pregnant teenager named Mia, but changed her plans when she decided to swap Sami's child for Mia's at the hospital, per Soaps in Depth.
Nicole took home Sami and EJ's baby, a daughter named Sydney, and passed it off as her own. Meanwhile, Sami began to raise Mia's baby, whom she named Grace. Sadly, Grace had medical issues and passed away, leaving Sami completely heartbroken. Eventually, Sami learned the truth about her baby and reunited with Sydney, per Soap Central.
