Ever since Nikki Bella’s divorce, her dating life has been a hot topic of discussion for fans.

The WWE Hall of Famer separated from her professional dancer husband Artem Chigvintsev in 2024, a report that was widely publicized at the time.

Since then, Bella has returned to the WWE for her second stint, but news about life outside the ring keeps following her everywhere she goes.

Recently, a photo of her with a fan went viral for all the wrong reasons, prompting her to alter a few rules around people during meet and greet sessions.

Also, a bizarre rumor has been spread online, which claims that the 41-year-old only dates younger men.

During a recent episode of her The Nikki & Brie Show podcast, Bella set the record straight.

There’s another lie going around that I’m only into 20-year-olds… So, when I was looking through DMs, I did see there were a bunch of guys saying like, “You know, sucks that you’re now only into the 20-year-olds,” and I go, “Where is this coming from?”… To see other people in my DMs confirm it, like, “Hey, you know, thought I had a chance, but I guess you’re only into people in their 20s.” I’m like, “What the?” I’m like, “This is crazy.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]

Nikki Bella also clarified she was open to dating people of varied ages, provided she had chemistry with them.
