Nikki Bella has found her perfect man in Artem Chigvintsev. Here's why we think so
You know that look every lovestruck character has on rom-coms when they've found the love of their lives? Former WWE Diva Nikki Bella has that exact same look every time she's with her new boo dancer Artem Chigvintsev. Artem cooks absolutely delicious looking dinners for her (chronicling the process for us on Instagram), the two hang out at scenic places with glasses of white wine in their hands and are seen affectionately planting cheek pecks in selfies.
But what makes us truly believe that Nikki has found the perfect man for her is the fact that no matter what they are doing, she cannot seem to stop smiling.
It's been a while since Nikki and WWE star John Cena's shock split. The story that broke all our hearts, it was a fairytale that ended too soon for the Bella Army. The former couple was days away from tying the knot when they decided to part ways. As much as they said that it was an amicable split, it hit Nikki hard. In the last season of her reality show, that she shares with her twin Brie and the family, she had said through tears, "He was my rock. He was the one who always lifted me up and it has kicked me in the a** and kicked me in the face to realize that I'd let go of my number one supporter." At the time, she was gearing up to go collect all of her stuff from their previous home in Tampa and she just couldn't keep it together and understandably so.
But, being the fighter that she is, she pulled herself up and said, "I just want to find one place called home and not live out of an office or a hotel room. Its time for me to move on". And just like that, Nikki started working on becoming whole by herself. She was focusing on her career, her stint with Evolution, the twins' fashion line BirdieBee and their skincare line Nicole + Brizee. She then decided to get back to the dating game and one of these meets was with Artem.
Rumors soon started floating around about her relationship with Artem. She denied it profusely at first, but the look on her face every time she met him made it pretty obvious - no one glows like that for no reason. Then, as the season finale came around, he whisked her off on his bike and the rest is history. The backlash that the couple received from John and Nikki shippers was insane but clearly, Nikki doesn't care. She's living her best life with a chef/dancer/reality star and she's loving it.
Comparisons are unfair, of course, and there's no denying that John and Nikki had a strong, meaningful and amazing relationship. But, there's something about this bubbling romance that makes it right. It doesn't come with expectations from fans and the chemistry is off the charts. The fact that he's a dancer who has been her pro coach on 'Dancing With the stars' makes this relationship even more nurturing. She's learning from him, he's cooking for her and it's all well.
