About the childhood and youth of Nicholas Nguyen

Born in Belgium to a Vietnamese father and a Mexican mother, Nicholas grew up in a large family: the boy had a twin brother and two sisters. The mother was the first to pay attention to the suspicious behavior of her son: from an early age he loved to try on her shoes, dresses, “took” to cosmetics. When the boy went to school (the family moved to Virginia, USA), the oddities did not end. Parents were called to school: their son stood in line with the girls at a physical education lesson, and his sports shorts were cut off in a girlish manner! At home, Nicholas played with dolls and carefully read on the Internet the stories of those who, like him, felt out of place and had already undergone a sex change operation.

Nikita Dragun as a child

The young man at first thought that he was gay, but soon realized that he was a transgender, that is, mistakenly “placed” by nature in a male body instead of a female one. Later, Nikita in Forbes stated that she really wanted to reveal her essence: “There was a desire to do it at school, but I was afraid of intimidation.” The girl “locked” in the body of a guy after graduation received a full scholarship to study at the University of New York, but, to the surprise of her parents, she entered a public (free) college. And the problems continued: it became increasingly difficult for Nicholas to enter the men's room, it was embarrassing to be there next to the men.

Activities in the social networks, gender reassignment, the way to “one's” life

Entering a university in Los Angeles, obtaining a fake ID with the data “Nikita Dragun”, opening a blog on YouTube – this is how her path to a full life began with the intention of gradually revealing herself to society. Although there have already been many people in the United States who have undergone sex reassignment surgery or announced coming out (recognition of gender incompatibility), the thought still seemed wild to ordinary people: a man, but he seriously considers himself a woman. On YouTube, the career of a blogger under the nickname Nikita Dragun developed very successfully: no one suspected that a spectacular young woman was still a guy.

In July 2016, a video appeared on the Nikita Dragun channel about how Nikita underwent plastic surgery. Only a year later, in May 2017, Nikita announced that she had officially changed her documents, and that now her gender was female. Having received a diploma in Marketing in the field of cosmetics, the girl seriously took up her activities on Instagram and on the YouTube channel. In addition to stories on the topic of makeup, Nikita released several clips, where she covered in detail the process of gender reassignment – from hormone therapy to the reconstruction of gender organs. The fame that fell on the networks of a brave blogger helped her to meet other transgender people, give them self-confidence, help with advice.

Almost 3 million subscribers on youtube, without small 6 million followers on Instagram, about 170 million video views – this is the result of her activities on the Internet in the spring of 2020.

Nikita is the official representative of Star Cosmetics, she starred in the mystical web series Escape in the Night. The main achievement that the model and blogger proudly shared in mid-2019 was the creation of the Dragun Beauty cosmetic line and the opening of a network of salons with that name. Miss Dragoon lives in Virginia, her last hobby is the resumption of singing lessons: Nikita studied vocals at school, and now she wants to “hone” her voice in the female version.

Personal life

“Not like everyone else” – this thought haunted, as is already clear, the boy from childhood. In relation to the other sex, he also behaved outside the box: he did not pay attention to girls, but he did not feel attracted to boys either. Despite the fact that Nikita Dragon is a person who is surrounded by increased attention on the Internet and the media, no indecent details on an intimate topic about Nicholas Nguyen have ever surfaced. They were not: the young man was immersed in the definition of his true “I” and did not attach importance to personal relationships. At one time, Nicholas stated that he was a sexless creature, and did not feel sexual attraction to either men or women.

After the transgender transformation, Nikita immediately began to have a personal life in full swing: the young woman began to show genuine interest in men. The Internet shuddered (some in horror, others in joy for their idol) when the model introduced her young man to the attention of fans. It turned out to be the famous fashion designer Oscar Utierre: the couple starred in commercials, in every possible way demonstrating tender feelings for each other. Just a PR move, or whether there was a close relationship between them is not known for certain. Nikita and Oscar broke up, now the model and blogger have another young man. He periodically appears on Nikita's Instagram, but his name is not disclosed.
