Nikki Bella says she remains 'super celibate' nearly two years after divorce
Former WWE star Nikki Bella told Us Weekly she is still abstaining from dating almost two years after her split from Artem Chigvintsev.
Nikki Bella disclosed to Us Weekly that she remains "super celibate" almost two years after ending her marriage to Artem Chigvintsev, likening herself to a nun. She said she lacks the desire and stamina for dating, choosing instead to devote time to her six-year-old son Matteo and to the joint ventures she shares with sister Brie, including "The Nikki & Brie Show" podcast and the Bonita Bonita wine label. Brie confirmed she has been attempting to introduce potential partners, but Nikki prefers quiet nights at home.
The divorce was filed in 2024 following Chigvintsev’s brief domestic-violence arrest, which was later dropped. Earlier rumors linking Bella to Philadelphia Eagles rookie Cooper DeJean were brushed off on her podcast, where she emphasized she has not been intimate with anyone in a long time.
