Who Is Greg Biffle's Ex-Wife, Nicole Lunders? They Had Messy Divorce Before His Death By Plane Crash

Former NASCAR driver, Greg Biffle, and his current family passed away untimely after meeting with a dreadful accident. 55-year-old Greg, his wife Cristina Biffle, and their two children, their son Ryder, and their daughter, Emma, died on December 18, 2025, in a tragic plane crash. They were reportedly flying to Florida in their private jet to meet a friend, motorsports YouTuber, Garrett Mitchell. Garrett confirmed the news of Greg and his family's demise through a post on Facebook shortly after the plane crash news started making rounds.

Following the passing of Greg Biffle, the only surviving member of his family is his ex-wife and baby mama, Nicole Lunders. Greg and Nicole had a nine-year-long marriage, with their own share of problems. Their divorce wasn't amicable; rather, one marked by infidelity allegations, privacy breach charges, and a million-dollar damages claim. Nicole hurled some explosive accusations against Greg, which he contested in court. Here's everything we know about the messy divorce proceedings between the ex-couple.

Who is Nicole Lunders, Greg Biffle's ex-wife?

Nicole Lunders is an entrepreneur and philanthropist. Nicole grew up in Chehalis, Washington, but was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on March 27, 1976, making her 49 years old in 2025. Before her divorce from Greg Biffle, Nicole was a board member of the North Shore Animal League and the founder of the Greg Biffle Foundation, a charity dedicated to animal well-being. Nicole Lunders kept her parents and siblings out of the spotlight, and nothing is known about them except that her younger brother, Tony, works in the racing industry as a mechanic.

How did Nicole Lunders and Greg Biffle's love story start?

Nicole Lunders and Greg Biffle first met in the spring of 1998, which was during his first full season in NASCAR. Greg and Nicole felt an instant connection and started dating soon after. They dated for eight years, after which Greg Biffle finally popped the question, would she like to spend the rest of her life with him? On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2006, he proposed to Nicole, and she said yes. He planned the proposal as a sweet, intimate affair and hid the engagement ring in a Christmas present. Recalling the happy moment, Greg said:

"I just wrapped [the ring] up as a Christmas present...in a Victoria's Secret box. So she unwrapped it all not really paying attention, and when she got it all apart, it hit her what it was."

Greg Biffle and Nicole Lunders' journey from fiancés to a married couple

Nicole Lunders and Greg Biffle's love reached a new milestone when they finally decided to become man and wife about a year after their engagement. On October 17, 2007, the former couple married at The Inn at Palmetto Bluff resort in Bluffton, South Carolina. After that, they resided in Mooresville, N.C., but had to travel extensively due to Greg's Sprint Cup schedule and their charity events. Greg and Nicole lived happily with their four dogs, and after four years of marriage, their family grew, and they welcomed their first and only child. On July 6, 2011, their daughter, Emma Elizabeth Biffle, was born.

Why did Greg Biffle and Nicole Lunders get divorced?

Greg and Nicole's love for each other ended four years after their daughter was born. They separated in early 2015, and their divorce was finalised in 2016. Both parties accused the other of having an affair, which contributed to their split. Nicole Lunders filed a lawsuit against Greg Biffle, alleging he violated her privacy and that of her mother by installing secret cameras in her bedroom and bathroom. As the duo took things to court, a jury found Greg responsible for invading Nicole's privacy and ordered him to pay her USD 250,001 in damages in August 2018.

Greg Biffle claimed the cameras were installed to catch a maid he suspected of stealing, not to spy on his ex-wife; however, Nicole was caught undressed on camera when she stepped into certain areas of the washroom. She initially sought USD 5.5 million in damages for herself and USD 3.4 million for her mother, but the jury found that her mother's privacy was not breached. Thus, what started as a sweet fairytale romance turned into a bitter relationship, making it impossible for Greg and Nicole to live together anymore. Following their divorce, Greg Biffle had custody of their daughter, Emma. Now, both Greg and Emma, alongwith Greg's wife, Cristina, and their son, Ryder, have died in a plane crash.

We send our heartfelt condolences to Greg Biffle's near and dear ones as they deal with this tough time.
