Nikki Bella’s Fiancé Fell in Love with Her While She was Dating John Cena

Controversies are a part of life. But, sometimes controversial feelings or situations can lead to good things. This is the story of Nikki Bella, John Cena, and Artem Chigvintsev.

The WWE Universe is well-versed with the story of John Cena and Nikki Bella. The pro-wrestlers fell in love and worked together in WWE as well. In fact, their love story became the centre of paparazzi attraction. Unfortunately, the couple broke up, shattering the hearts of millions of WWE fans.

But, while The Champ was in love with Nikki Bella, someone else was falling in love with her too. Her partner, Artem Chigvintsev, first met Bella at Dancing with the Stars. The duo were paired together on the show, but for Chigvintsev, it was a whole different feeling.

“I actually called the executive producer right after our first meet. And I even said, Wow, this girl is absolutely incredible.”

“Actually, I said, ‘I think I’m like, in love.’ I don’t really understand what it meant for me at the time. Just when you meet a certain person that you kind of don’t really understand how you feel yet, you have a lot of feelings. You don’t know how to cope with it or what to do with it. And you just try to manage it as well as you can in the best way you can. Again, look, I’m not perfect. Obviously. But, I think that was the time it kind of hit me. Even speaking about it right now I am sweating.” H/t The Bellas Podcast
