Nikki Bella treated her life as an open book which is one of the reasons that WWE was able to launch its inaugural reality TV series almost a decade ago. The relationship saga of the former Divas Champion with her then-boyfriend John Cena was the center of attraction of the TV show. A love triangle was also created featuring another top WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler.
For those who don’t know, Nikki Bella was in a romantic relationship with fellow superstar Dolph Ziggler during her early days in the WWE in the late 2000s. However, their relationship ended after The Show-off allegedly cheated on her. While the two never really talked about this, the cheating incident was indirectly revealed in the former WWE Superstar’s autobiography, Incomparable.

Back in 2015, Nikki Bella was in the middle of a high-profile relationship with John Cena when Ziggler appeared to be flirting with her during an episode of Total Divas. Brie Bella didn’t like it and as he was trying to get cozy with her twin. As Ziggler claimed to be just “just hanging out” but Brie claimed that things were becoming awkward,
“Well, it’s a little awkward. Maybe it’s awkward from like a person sitting right here.”
Dolph Ziggler admittedly had feelings for Nikki Bella
Things turned even weird when Ziggler claimed that maybe he still has some feelings left for her ex-flame, “Oh, maybe it’s because I mean, I still have some feelings for you [Nikki Bella].”
Moving on in a January 2016 episode of Total Divas, it was shown how Ziggler wanted to marry the elder Bella and claimed to give her kids which Cena wasn’t willing to do. Ziggler even approached for a kiss but it was turned down with a slap to the face. Bella also denied any further conversation with the Show-off who is quite infamous when it comes to making relationships with former WWE Divas.
After ending her relationship with Dolph Ziggler in the late 2000s, Nikki Bella started dating John Cena in 2012. The two were together for nearly six years and there was a gigantic WrestleMania 33 moment between the two where Cena proposed to his ladylove in the middle of the ring. However, they eventually called off the relationship and the wedding in 2018.
