Nikki Bella has described herself as "super celibate" nearly two years after her separation from ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev. Bella, a professional wrestler, told Us Weekly on Saturday that she feels akin to a nun at this point and lacks the energy for dating.
Her sister, Brie Bella, has reportedly tried to set Nikki up with potential partners, though Nikki's priorities have shifted. She is currently focused on raising her 6-year-old son, Matteo, and managing their podcast, "The Nikki & Brie Show," along with their wine company, Bonita Bonita. Brie Bella noted that her sister's son is her "world right now."
Nikki Bella expressed a preference for low-maintenance connections, stating she would rather "Netflix and chill" during free time than go on a date and have to dress up.
Brie Bella married pro wrestler Bryan Danielson in 2014 and has two children. Nikki Bella married Chigvintsev, a "Dancing With the Stars" pro, in 2022. She filed for divorce in 2024, following Chigvintsev's arrest for domestic violence. The charges were later dropped, and Chigvintsev's attorney stated he called the police for protection from his wife's "persistent aggression."
In December 2024, Nikki Bella spoke about their "tough" split, expressing optimism about co-parenting and the possibility of sharing holidays in the future. She was last rumored to be dating Philadelphia Eagles player Cooper DeJean, 23, after being seen at his locker in December. Bella later addressed the rumors on her podcast, stating she "actually haven’t been touched or done anything in so long."
