I'm not sure it's fair to go this far back for comparison:

This might be the perfect comparison. Nick has a habit of revising history to fit his narrative. Since they turned 40 and Nick has decided he's a sexual dynamo who needs to focus on fucking whores and railing coke, and transforming Kayla into a crackwhore to facilitate his pimping and dealing, he's claimed Kayla was some hawt cheerleader, the ONLY hot and sexy skinny pornesque woman at school that could catch his eye.
Nick is a 4/10. He's skinny, gawky, has an absolute beet-red beezer, has been bitch-titted at times. He was lucky to score a cute smiley girl like Kayla. They came up together. His supposed status as a lawyer and catching Kayla as a wife was the thin line between him and a kiss less virgin with rage like Kurt.
Kayla wasn't ever that cute. She's had her moments, and Nick rightly identified that she was a huge catch for his bloodline genetically. He couldn't believe his luck and happily and easily married her and got her to work being pregnant and making his babies.
They had five kids in 11 years, with several miscarriages along the way. She was scarred, physically and mentally. We know she was on a range of psychotropics by the time her youngest baby was 4, and by that time Nick described her as crazy.
But in the picture above, she was probably 23-25, holding her first boy on her lap, smiling for a candid snap while they camped. Maybe she was having a bit of a dowdy phase, she hadn't lost the baby weight and her hair was short and awkward. Which is better? Her happy? before his mental abuse thinned her out to a skeleton, marred her skin with stupid tattoos, wanned her face to bones poking through wax? Or 15 years later, utterly turned out as a crack whore, ransomed to some degenerate loser radio host so her loving husband of her whole life could snort coke off a whore's ass?
When Nick tasted success as a streamer, it was the first time he wasn't lovingly propped up and supported by family. It went to his head and he began obsessing and projecting his porn-molded ideas about his wife's body onto her. She gave in; got the surgeries, got coke-skinny and endlessly sexually permissive. She let her husband get snaked from her by some little girl ten years younger than her.
The plain Jane in that photo was happily married to a dork who knew he was lucky to have her. They built five lives and twenty years together, and for what? To blow it all up for nothing.
I think they'll get divorced if Kayla can have the clarity to see he utterly betrayed her.
