He married three times: to socialite Adiana Turendan from 1860-1867, Marcellia Rybascalis from 1871-1879, and Liliana Veraxis in 1884. | |||
His first marriage was to the beautiful Vivia Drustanus in 1860 when he was just 28. Adiana , from the prominent Turendan family, was initially seen as a strategic alliance to solidify his claim to the throne.

The couple was frequently featured on the front pages of newspapers. Their union bore two children, a son named Artorix and a daughter named Vivara. However, amidst rumors of infidelity on both sides, their marriage was annulled in 1867.

In 1871, seeking to stabilize his image and provide a mother for his children, Niceroslav wed Marcellia Rybascalis, a serene, well-educated woman known for her charitable works. The marriage was a stark contrast to his previous one, with Marcellia often acting as a calming influence on Niceroslav. She bore him another son, Cesareș II. However, the peaceful coexistence was shattered when Marcellia tragically died in a horse-riding accident in 1879. Rumors persisted that the accident was orchestrated, but no evidence was ever found. The death affected Niceroslav deeply, turning him briefly to a life of seclusion. | |||
