Retired WWE Diva Nikki Bella has been in the news since breaking off her engagement with fellow WWE champion wrestler John Cena. She’s back in the spotlight this spring as paparazzi have captured her walking and holding hands with her new beau, Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev. Artem was Nikki’s pro partner on Season 25 of DWTS in 2017. (They made it to Week 8; Hamilton Broadway star Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold won.)
In the latest promotional photos for the Bella Twins’ clothing label Birdiebee, the two lovebirds get frisky in the kitchen. In one photo, they appear to be playing footsie on the floor. In another, Nikki sits on top of the kitchen counter with a glass of wine in her hand, an arm draped around Artem’s neck. See photos below. Artem is wearing the Birdiebee classic zip track jacket, $65, btw.
Note to fans of Total Divas: The show has been renewed for its ninth season. Alas, Brie and Nikki Bella will not return to the show but Raw Women’s champion Ronda Rousey will be added to the cast! And the 28th season of Dancing with the Stars will premiere in the fall on ABC.
