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."

EastEnders actor looks unrecognisable 15 years after character's dramatic death Charlie Clements shot to fame as Bradley Branning in EastEnders, but the actor has undergone a dramatic transformation since leaving the BBC One soap Charlie Clements as Bradley Branning in EastEnders (Image: BBC ) Charlie Clements, best known for his role as Bradley Branning in EastEnders, has surprised fans with a complete image overhaul, now donning glasses and a beard, which is a sharp departure from his clean-cut on-screen character. The transformation of the actor who debuted in the BBC One soap back in 2006 and made his dramatic exit in February 2010 is remarkable. Charlie's character had an unforgettable send-off from the long-running soap during its first live instalment, which commemorated EastEnders' 25th anniversary. In a gripping sequence, Bradley Branning met his end falling from the rooftop of the Queen Vic, while evading the police, after vowing to defend his wife Stacey who had killed her assailant Archie Mitchell.

Maya Jama unveils major change to Love Island just before launch
Love Island returns later tonight with its new series and host Maya Jama has teased what to expect from her fashion choices throughout the ITV2 show this summer Host Maya Jama has teased over her wardrobe for the latest series of Love Island, which launches later tonight. The presenter returns to front the reality TV show as a dozen islanders enter the villa abroad for the first time. Maya, 30, has been met with praise over outfits that she's modelled hosting the ITV2 show in the past, with her fashion choices often complimented by fans. She has now teased what to expect from her wardrobe for the new series. The presenter will join the original twelve islanders in the villa in Majorca on tonight's launch episode as they get coupled-up for the first time and then return on occasion throughout the series. She's teased that viewers can expect to see her in vintage-inspired designer looks. She's said to have showcased one example on a yacht last night as she made a "showstopping" entrance ahead of entering the villa itself. The "preloved" outfit consisted of a Versace one-piece swimsuit and sarong. Maya told the Sun: "We're doing all archive, vintage, Nineties runway inspired." The presenter, who has hosted Love Island since 2023, having taken over from Laura Whitmore, went on to say they are all from "hidden archives". She continued: "The designers have been hunting them down for the last few months for me. Everything should have a runway reference." She suggested to the outlet that her wardrobe for the new series will be "very vintage". Maya then teased that she has chosen fashion options that she can't "rip" or "ruin" during production of the reality TV show. She explained that that is because the vintage outfits have to "go back" after the host has worn them. She shared photos of herself modelling the swimsuit on board the yacht on Instagram yesterday and wrote in the caption: "Having fun with it .. Love Island starts tomorrow at 9pm." Maya later added: "Wearing full archive Versace." Tonight's launch episode will introduce the first twelve islanders to viewers. It's been announced that the process of them coupling-up for the first time will be "slightly different" this year, with Maya revealing the details to the girls, prior to the arrival of the first six boys taking part this series. After getting the six of them to share their respective types with her, the presenter tells them: "This year things are slightly different. You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality?" As they line up, Maya announces: "Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?" Once they have looked at the profiles and discussed them as a group, they are given just seconds to make a decision on who to couple up with first. ITV has teased that they must run to a heart but only one girl is allowed at each one. Love Island returns tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
