Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev first met back in 2017 when they both participated in the Dancing with the Stars show. Back at the time, Bella (original name Nikki Garcia) was engaged to WWE legend John Cena, with whom she broke up in 2018.
A few months after the breakup, Nikki started dating Artem Chigvintsev, with the two confirming their relationship in early 2019.
After being together for months, Artem Chigvintsev proposed to Nikki Bella in November 2019 and the two got engaged. A couple of months later, in late January 2020, the former women’s champion announced that she was expecting her first child with Artem.
Their son was born on July 31, 2020, and the couple continued to share moments of their life with their social media followers. Even though the couple were engaged since late 2019, they didn’t get married until August 2022, when they officially tied the knot.
