Jayde Nicole (born February 19, 1986) is a Canadian model and businesswoman. She was Playboy′s Playboy Playmate for January 2007 and was named the 2008 Playmate of the Year in the June issue of the men's magazine. She is the first Canadian Playmate of the Year in 26 years, and the third overall, the previous two being Dorothy Stratten and Shannon Tweed.
When she was 15, a scout from a Toronto modeling agency spotted her outside the Scotiabank Arena as she was leaving a concert and offered her an opportunity to return to modeling. Since then, Nicole has appeared in numerous publications and fashion shows. She created and owns her own agency, "A Touch of Class", based in Port Perry.
Nicole graduated from Port Perry High School and then studied hotel management at George Brown College in Toronto, but dropped out to pursue a modeling career. Her mother handed Nicole her first issue of Playboy and suggested she pose for the magazine.
In October 2008, Nicole appeared in a presidential election spoof video for FunnyorDie.com. The video, "Playmates Heat Up the Presidential Debate", also features fellow Playboy models Jo García, Grace Kim, and Christine Smith. Footage was taken from the Presidential town hall debate which took place October 7, 2008, and digitally altered to show the women asking Senators Obama and McCain a series of questions.
Nicole debuted as a feature-film actress in the 2009 Italy comedy Un'estate ai Caraibi. In October 2009, Nicole appeared on Fox Sports' PokerStars.
In the September 2010 edition of Guitar World magazine Nicole appeared as one of "The Girls of the 2011 Guitar World Buyer's Guide".
