The former Miss Sweden shared a photo of her parents who have been supporting her since the attack.
She celebrated dad Stephan's birthday with a sweet tribute, thanking her mum and dad for being her "role models".
Stephan beamed in the photo, wearing a crisp white suit with a printed shirt underneath, as her mum Pernille looked glamorous in a multi-coloured dress.
The couple each held a glass of wine and flashed bright smiles, looking every bit the picture of love.
Nicoline appeared to make a dig at Argent, 37, as she showered praise on her dad, saying he has been an incredible partner to her mum.
Nicoline wrote over the photo: "My biggest role models. Married for 28 years.
"Not only are you a heck of a businessman, a 9-times Iron Man, World Tour Swim-Runner, an incredible husband to mom etc etc… Yes the list goes on.
"You are truly the best dad anyone could ever dream of and we are so blessed to have you, our Super-Hero!
"Happy Birthday daddy cool, we love you."
The warm tribute to her father comes after the emotional turmoil Nicoline revealed days earlier.

'I opened the door to let him in and only minutes after I found myself laying down on the stairs outside our house.
My clothes and belongings were being thrown out from the balcony down on me. I was injured.'
Nicoline also placed the blame for Argent's violence with constant clashes over his ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright.
Shortly before the attack, she posted a story questioning whether it was acceptable for someone to remain close to their ex while in a new relationship.
And Nicoline claimed she and Argent often clashed over Lydia's involvement in their romance.
She said: "I felt there were too many people in our relationship: me, my boyfriend and his ex. 'Three's a crowd', they say.
"I asked so many times if we could be just the two of us, but the answer was a strong NO.
"I experienced what I can only describe as targeted emotional distress which he allowed to continue.'
Nicoline continued: "After being together for one year my boyfriend finally promised me that he would have boundaries.
"He would put a stop to all that had been going on for months.
"But he didn't. Instead he broke the promise and her controlling behaviour continued. The rest is history."
Nicoline went on to thank the people who came to her aid and added: " have tried to understand why.
"I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are.
"There is now a legal record of what happened. Violence has no excuse - no matter how much love preceded it."
Argent was handed a six month suspended sentence and a two-year restraining order banning him from contacting Nicoline.
He has only spoken once since The Sun revealed the attack on Nicoline and said: "I haven't relapsed.
"I am still three years and four months clean and sober.
"I am devastated by what's happened."

Mark Wright apologises for 'horrendous' Insta post after Air India plane crash
Mark Wright has apologised after sharing a post about a flight home from a holiday with Michelle Keegan on the same day as the news of the Air India plane crash Mark Wright has apologised after sharing a post that was deemed insensitive in the wake of the Air India plane crash. He's since deleted the post and said in a statement on his Instagram Stories that it had been a "horrendous coincidence". Mark, 38, and Michelle Keegan, also 38, have been sharing content on Instagram from a holiday to Spain lately. The couple, who were joined by some of his family on the trip, took their three-month-old baby Palma abroad for the first time. They are understood to have already returned to the UK and earlier today Mark is said to have shared a photo of the trio in front of a private jet at an airport. He reportedly teased over having limited leg room on standard flights in the post. The Heart radio host is said to have been met with a backlash over the post amid the news of the Air India flight, which went down shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad. It had been bound for Gatwick Airport in London. Mark has since apologised for the "mistake," telling fans that he had scheduled the post, which has now been deleted, in advance. He shared a statement on his Instagram Story, in which he said it had been a "horrendous coincidence". He wrote: "I apologise for a post I just put up on my page after today's heartbreaking events. I have posts from a holiday that are on the scheduled setting, which go out on future days I have set them for which was done last week." Mark continued the statement by saying that it was a "coincidence" that it had gone out on the same day as the Air India crash. He told fans that as soon as he realised what had happened, he "immediately" deleted the post. He added in the message to his followers this evening: "It's a horrendous coincidence that today's post was on such a devastating day. Once I logged in to my Instagram and realised the post had gone out, I immediately deleted [it]." The former TOWIE star concluded by expressing sympathy with anyone affected by the plane crash. He wrote: "My heart goes out to everyone who has been effected from today. I'm sorry for this mistake and any offence caused." According to the Sun, Mark had teased over not having extra leg room on the flight home from his holiday with Michelle and their daughter in the post. Seemingly teasing over them not travelling on a private plane, he's said to have written: "1 day babe, for now we'll take row 26 with no extra leg room." The outlet reports that some of his followers were quick to question the post given the news of the Air India flight. One person is said to have responded to him: "Not really appropriate to put this up after today's plane crash." Another is quoted as having said: "Prob not the best day to post this when so many people lost their lives on a plane." Whilst a third person reportedly responded to Mark's now-deleted post at the time: "Poor taste given today's event."

Michelle Keegan lands major six-figure deal in first project since welcoming baby Palma
Michelle Keegan has reportedly signed up for a major TV project, which will be her first on-screen role since giving birth to her daughter Palma in March. Michelle Keegan has reportedly landed an eye-watering six figure deal after welcoming her daughter Palma with husband Mark Wright. T he Fool Me Once star, 38, and former TOWIE star, 38, welcomed daughter Palma Elizabeth Wright on March 6, and took to social media to share their happy news earlier this year. Alongside a black and white snap of them holding their newborn's tiny hand, the couple wrote: "Together we have a new love to share … Our little girl. Palma Elizabeth Wright … 06.03.25." The former Corrie star recently celebrated her 38th birthday with Mark and Palma while enjoying the Spanish sun in Marbella. She is now reportedly set to embark on her first big project since becoming as mum as The Sun reports she has reportedly signed a contract to become a promotional face for Sky. The publication has reported that Keegan will film advertising material for the broadcaster, alongside Luther star Idris Elba, who has long been a brand ambassador for Sky. Michelle already has an existing relationship with Sky, having starred in comedy-drama Brassic since 2019, the Metro reports. Sky confirmed production is well underway on the show's seventh and final series which will return to screens later this year. This led to some speculation that the show had been suddenly axed but Michelle, who plays Erin Croft in the programme, took to Instagram to shut down these rumours. Sharing a video of the cast, she wrote: "And just for the record… Brassic has not been 'AXED' or 'cancelled' it's come to a natural end after 6 fantastic seasons and we're currently in the middle of making the 7th and final season." The post on her Instagram stories continued: "Sending love to all the Brassic fans out there." Sky were also keen to reiterate that Brassic had not been axed after hailing it as their most successful comedy ever. A spokesperson said: "Fans very quickly became attached to this dynamic group of friends, as they found unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia." "We would like to thank Joe Gilgun, Danny Brocklehurst and the whole cast and crew – past and present – for bringing us all a truly iconic series, which we've loved for its special mix of hilarity and heart." Brassic first premiered in August 2019 and will be coming to an end later this year, with no official release date being confirmed as of yet. One of Keegan's most successful roles to date came early last year when she played the leading character, Maya Stern, in the on-screen adaptation of Harlan Coben's novel, Fool Me Once. The thriller series, which dropped on Netflix on January 1 2024, was a huge success on the streaming platform. Fool Me Once was number one in 91 Netflix countries and seen by 61 million people in the first two weeks. Michelle was applauded for her outstanding performance and described the reaction to the show as "overwhelming". She was honoured with the 2024 Variety Club Silver Heart Award for outstanding achievement in global television and streaming for her role in Fool Me Once.
