Nikki Bella & Artem Chigvinstev Mark 1st Wedding Anniversary With Sweet Tributes

Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev are showering each other with affection as they mark a remarkable milestone in their relationship!

The lovebirds first met in 2017 on season 25 of ''Dancing With the Stars,'' when they were paired as dance partners. However, nothing happened between the celebrities until Bella, who was formerly engaged to John Cena, officially ended things in July 2018,

Fortunately, the ''DWTS'' pair reconnected later that year and made their relationship Instagram official in March 2019. They eventually got engaged in November 2019 and welcomed a son in July 2020 before tying the knot in August 2022. 

The pair are now celebrating a year of being a married couple. The happy couple were ecstatic as they celebrated a special day in their lives over the weekend with heartwarming tributes.

The former ''WWE'' diva took to her Instagram to post a video slideshow for her 10.7 million followers, detailing how eventful her wedding day was, alongside confessing her feelings for her husband.

The cheerful Reel included a series of images and short clips from their Paris nuptials. The video was set to the ''Haley Reinhart'' version of ''Elvis Presley's" classic song, ''Can't Help Falling in Love.''

For the unforgettable occasion, Bella stunned in four gowns, each varying in style and silhouette. The video also showed an array of joyful moments from the wedding — including the couple's son Matteo Artemovich, 3, playing on a bed, photos of the newlyweds kissing, and the couple laughing together during a speech.

Captioning the post, the mom of one gushed, ''Happy Anniversary Artem ? I can't believe it's already been a year. I would do anything for you, me and Matteo to runaway to Paris together again.''

She sweetly added, ''I fall more in love with you everyday. You are everything I could have dreamed of. I love doing life with you. ❤ I love you so much Click! ??❤️‍?.'' Her post not only amassed over 140,000k likes, but fans praised the couple in the comments section. Her twin sister, Brie Bella, extended her love to the lovebirds by leaving four heart-eye emojis.

Bella's mom, Kathy Laurinaitis, affectionately penned, ''Happy Anniversary. Love you both. Many more amazing moments together.'' One fan observed, ''I absolutely love that Nikki looked so natural, no hair extensions, no way over the top makeup. Her radiance shone through and she looked beautiful.''

Another wrote, ''Absolutely gorgeous!? Happy anniversary, Nicole and Artem, you beautiful souls. ? It's totally meant to be ??.'' Additionally, Chigvintsev also took to his Instagram page to post his own heartwarming message alongside a captivating video. 

The clip, which was set to the tune of Louis Armstrong's, ''La Vie En Rose,'' featured photographs of the couple on their wedding day. The loving husband captioned the post, writing, ''Happy anniversary my love, you making me the happiest man alive. Cheers ? to many many more ❤️.''

The couple's wedding anniversary celebration comes a year after they revealed their secret nuptials ceremony to fans via a joint Instagram post. Nikki and her husband posted a two-slide photo of themselves on their wedding day looking so in love.

The first slide was an up-close photo of the couple's wedding rings. The mom of one fondly held onto Chigvintsev's hands as their blinged fingers took the spotlight and rested on a background of white and green flowers.

Bella opted for well-manicured nude nails with an almond shape. In the following slide, the beautiful couple locked themselves in a warm embrace as they stared off into the distance while holding champagne glasses in their hands.

The pair had their backs turned to the camera but fans were able to get a glimpse of Nikki's gown. She stunned in a white dress that accentuated her fit frame with an off-shoulder, satin strap that hung loosely. The mom of one completed her look by rocking a bob hairstyle. 

On the other hand, the Russian-born dancer looked trimmed in a folded white t-shirt paired with black pants. In the snap, the loving husband wrapped his hands around Bella's waist.

In the distance was a silhouette of the Eiffel Tower that featured in the background of their snap, confirming that they walked down the aisle in the city of love.
