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."
