Nikki Bella Reveals She’s On This Dating App After Divorce

Nikki Bella reveals she is using a dating app.

The former Divas Champion was married to Artem Chigvintsev, a professional dancer. They got married in January 2021, and their marriage lasted for two years. In 2023, the couple decided to get separated because their lives were moving in different directions, and they grew apart over time.

Despite their split, both have remained respectful in public about their relationship. Nikki Bella and Chigvintsev share a son named Matteo, who was born in July 2020, before they got married. The divorced couple has expressed their commitment to co-parenting Matteo and prioritizing his well-being despite their separation.

It’s been almost a year since the WWE Hall of Famer separated from her ex-husband. While she has heavily focused on herself, her son, and her career in the past year, she recently gave in to the idea of signing up for a dating app but not for dating purposes.

Which Dating App Is Nikki Bella Using?

Recently, Nikki Bella appeared on Cody Rhodes’ podcast “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” There, she shared she signed up for a dating app called Raya. She explained Raya is a VIP dating app for people in the entertainment industry, which requires an application and referrals.

She said she was initially hesitant about dating apps but joined Raya because traveling on the road makes her feel lonely, and she thought it would be fun to text new people.

Well, I signed up for Raya. Do you know Raya, the app? So it’s a dating app, but, like, for people in the industry. VIPs. So you submit an application, but you have to give your Instagram account. You need to have, like, referrals, so in your contacts, you can see who’s, like, a part of it. I like this, you know? I was like, not gonna ever do a dating app. But then, since I’ve been back on the road and it kind of gets, like, lonely in the hotel rooms. And not like, I want to be on Tinder, but I think it would just be fun to text people. (43:20 – 43:52)
