She’s a true beauty… i always had a crush on her…
Her hawaïan husband is beyond lucky
Interesting. I thought she looked more French but I’m not surprised she’s of English ancestry.
Evangeline is an Acadian French name. Nicole is also a French name. I’m pretty sure she is of English heritage (since her surname is Lilly) and French heritage. Acadian French is spoken in Canada, but not in Quebec.
She don’t look like the English I see around me everyday, so there must be more in there as I suspected. It’s the middle-name & her looks.
that’s it? I thought she had some asian in her..
She definitely does not look Asian.
She looks white to me.
I would NEVER hav guessed English!
