What’s hard at times and what people don’t realize about my relationship is I’m alone a lot and I’m alone in these big, beautiful homes, which you’re like, gosh, I mean, these homes are unreal,” she said during in the season 3 premiere of Total Bellas. “But to be honest, since we’ve gotten engaged, John and I have probably shared our bed together maybe 30 days total out of, like, six months. Or, like, 40 days.”

The couple announced their separation in a joint statement which they released on April 16. “While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another,” the couple, who had been together for six years, said in the statement. “We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.”

However, soon after this, she confessed that things had been hard after the breakup.

Recently, John opened up about how he wants to get back with Nikki because he believes she is the one for him. In the interview, John confessed that things were not the same ever since they broke up and he would love to marry Nikki and start a family together. 

Talking to Extra during Nikki said that she was left "speechless" after hearing John wanted to get back together. "I have hope. I'm at a point in my life where I feel like I kind of lost me and I want to find me and work on me," she said. She confessed that she rather have both of them take time and think over their decision than regret the same years down the lane. 

"I just want John and I both to live happily ever after whether it's together or separate and I just don't want us to go down the road in life and have regrets of like 'I did this for you' or 'you did this for me,' so I think it's okay in relationships to take that moment," she said.
