Nikki Bella just made her relationship with Artem Chigvintsev official. The wrestler and the professional dancer opted to not put a label on their relationship during the first few months that they started hanging out.

But on the “Bellas Podcast,” the reality TV star declared that she and the “Dancing With The Stars” pro are boyfriend and girlfriend. “We’re in a relationship,” she added.

Bella and Chigvintsev first met each other on the set of the hit ABC reality TV competition “Dancing With The Stars.” They were paired with each other, but they failed to bring home the mirror ball trophy.

After the entire season wrapped up, the two maintained their friendship. Bella was in a relationship with John Cena, and the two even got engaged twice. However, they eventually decided to call it quits.

Cena met Chigvintsev on “Dancing With The Stars” as he was present at one of the live shows. Years after Bella starred in DWTS, she and Chigvintsev returned to the dance floor and choreographed a routine that would express their love for each other.

The couple’s dance was accompanied by Rita Ora’s song “Let You Love Me.” According to the 35-year-old “Total Bellas” star, the track reminds her of the journey that she has been with her boyfriend.

“I’m the one that chose the song and [it’s] kind of my journey with Artem and dating. This song really hit me hard. I just felt like, ‘Okay, I’m falling for this guy really fast.’ But not that I wanted to avoid it, but I just kept trying to push Artem away. I just wasn’t ready for anything,” she said.

By the looks of it, Bella felt scared about her strong feelings for Chigvintsev because of her failed relationship with Cena. After the former couple broke up, they still tried to remain friends, and they also spoke highly of each other.

But two months ago, rumors swirled that Bella and Cena threw shade at each other on Twitter. “When you don’t give him what he wants, he will delete you, silence you, manipulate you, do what he can to destroy you, but turn hurt into strength,” Bella wrote.
