Nikki Bella recently opened up about her relationship with her former "DWTS" partner, revealing to E! News that she feels totally comfortable with him. "I get to just be me," she told the outlet. "It's kind of like my soul gets to have no filter, no makeup. Like, I fully live in my truth with him." She's not the only one who's a fan of her boyfriend. Her close friend and fellow "Total Divas" star Nattie Neidhart is said to really like Artem for Nikki. According to E! she thinks he's "really sweet" and a "total gentleman." The two confirmed their relationship earlier this year and months later, Artem dropped the "soulmate" line. Taking to social media to share a couple's photo with Nikki from the Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards red carpet, his captioned gained plenty of attention. "You are my rock, my number one, the good ending to a bad day and the best start to a new day, you are my soul mate," he wrote.

Prior to her romance with Artem Chigvintsev, Nikki Bella was engaged to John Cena and the two had a May 2018 wedding date. The duo never made it down the aisle and revealed their split to shocked fans the month before their wedding. “While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another,” the wrestling couple said in a joint statement. “We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives." On what would have been their wedding day, Nikki and John both reflected on their former relationship. “If you choose to keep moving, no matter how low the road takes you, it will eventually begin to climb back up. #NeverGiveUp,” Cena tweeted. “Learn from your mistakes. A life of regret is a life unfulfilled,” he added. Meanwhile, Nikki Bella took to Instagram with a post that read, “Chin up princess or the crown slips."
