Since returning to the public eye with WWE last year, Nikki Bella’s personal life has become a subject of scrutiny.

One-half of The Bella Twins was married to Artem Chigvintsev between 2022 and 2024. The couple shares a son named Matteo.

Since her divorce, she has spoken about her dating life during interviews and podcasts on multiple occasions. The WWE Hall of Famer has now again sparked a discussion about the need for privacy and how dating has become difficult for her.

Nikki Bella recently vented her frustration while speaking on the Pod Meets World podcast.

She explained that every time she’s seen with someone, the media outlets report them as a couple, spiraling things more than necessary.

It’s hard because, compared to traveling, there’s a lot of fun messaging that happens. It’s hard to date in the industry because if you go on a date with someone, all of a sudden you see headlines like, ‘They’re together!’ They’re always saying these things.

The former WWE Divas Champion also expressed regret about being unable to experience relationships naturally due to the nature of her presence in public.

Why can’t I just experience people like everyone else does without people automatically assuming we’re together? That’s been hard, but I’m not ready for anything serious at all. It’s nice to have attention from a man, sweet text messages — I don’t have anything like that right now. [H/T: Ringside News]

Tenure Of Nikki Bella’s Current WWE Contract Revealed

Nikki Bella recently revealed the duration of her WWE contract.

At the 2026 Royal Rumble, Nikki reunited with her twin, Brie Bella, for the first time in four years. While speaking on The Nikki & Brie Show, they discussed their legacies while revealing that they had signed a two-year contract in January.

I don’t think you and I will ever get that last retirement moment like John or AJ Styles got, but I would love to have that because I do know that — you know, the contract we signed — we signed a two-year deal starting at the Royal Rumble.”

“From the talks you and I have had, I know that’s it, that will be the end for us. I need that closure on things, so I’d love to put my kicks, snapbacks, and jersey in the ring and get that final bow.
