“I can imagine ’cause, you know, even myself going through a public break up, that was difficult,” Nikki Bellas told Hannah Ann referring to her split from John Cena. “And what was tough about that was it came out before a season went on air so people thought that it was a publicity stunt. Like it was fake just to get people to tune in.”
“And mine was different than yours because I was going through pain of like, ‘No, this is real. I’m not lying. But I couldn’t imagine having to keep that in and being like, ‘Well, tune in! You’ll see if we get engaged!'”
As shown on Total Bellas season three, fans will certainly remember that Nikki Bella and JohnCena broke off their engagement in April 2018.

So Bella admitted to Hannah Ann that she’s still dealing with the fallout and might continue to do so for the rest of her life,
“I’m always constantly going to Brie, like, ‘Am I ever gonna get away from this?’ And Artem [Chigvintsev, Nikki’s current fiancé] will deal will stuff, and I even know that my ex-fiancé will still deal with stuff,” Nikki Bellas said. “And it’s hard.”
“It’s been, what? Almost three years? Two-and-a-half years? And we still have it. I feel like I’m gonna have this triangle for the rest of my life. And so I just try to have this shell that fights it all. Because it used to get to me really bad, for a long time.”
Thankfully, the elder Bella has dived into a new relationship moving forward which might have saved the day for her. She reportedly started dating Dancing with the Stars partner Artem Chigvintsev from the later part in 2018.
These two finally announced engagement for a future marriage on New Year’s Eve of 2020. As for John Cena, he is also in a relationship with Shay Shariatzadeh whom he met in a film set.
Nikki Bella is currently pregnant with her boyfriend Artem. She is 12 weeks away from delivery which indicates that exciting days are coming ahead for her.
