"I was in so much pain" - WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella breaks silence; addresses personal and legal issues
WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella's personal life took a huge toll in 2024 as a series of personal issues affected her and her son's life. Recently, she broke her silence and addressed a handful of issues on The Nikki and Brie Show.
Earlier this year, Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev were embroiled in a domestic issue sometime after their second anniversary in September. This eventually led to their separation, and their son, Matteo, on shared custody when they took it to the court.
Recently, the two-time Divas Champion and one-half of The Bella Twins broke her silence and addressed the issues. She stated she tried her best to handle the entire situation and wanted to protect her son in the process while getting separated from Artem Chigvintsev:
"I tried to handle this whole situation even though I was in so much pain. I was just trying to do what was best for everyone... I do want to continue to protect Mateo in those ways because that's what's been the hardest part about all this, and that's been so heartbreaking. I didn't know that your heart can break that many times in such a short period of time," Nikki wrote. [H/T - People]
WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella addresses her recent divorce
Nikki Bella has been open about her past and dating life while performing for WWE. The two-time Divas Champion dated John Cena for a few years before the wedding was called off. Later, she dated and married Artem Chigvintsev with whom she has a son.
In the same podcast, the former two-time WWE Divas Champion addressed her relationship with the former dancer on Dancing With The Stars. A few months ago, the two filed for divorce and remained estranged from each other for a while following their second anniversary:
"It's been really tough. I've been heartbroken. Sad. You know, you dream of having this family and you have this incredible love and it just goes the other way. And you go from having a great love story to having a terrible one. And I never saw any of it coming, you know, as far as, like, what the ending would be," Bella said. [H/T - People]
Both sides have shared their story following the night of the incident. Recently, the divorce was granted.
