The English actor and his wife of more than two decades, Neha, have two sons and a daughter. Their older son was born before "Battlestar Galactica" debuted.

She and her husband, a Vancouver-based real estate developer, reportedly welcomed their first child together, a son, in 2013. In mid-2018, multiple media outlets revealed Grace's previous association with NXIVM, an alleged "sex cult" that once recruited several actresses to help further its cause. The "Battlestar Galactica" alum starred opposite NXIVM leader Keith Raniere in a series of "self-help" videos that have since been deleted from YouTube.

During her time away from the spotlight, Nicki became involved in the alleged "sex cult" NXIVM, where she served under "Smallville" actress Allison Mack.
