The Shocking Split: Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev's 2024 Divorce
The biggest news surrounding the Bella Twins' personal lives in late 2024 was the dissolution of Nikki Garcia's marriage to Artem Chigvintsev. The former couple, who met when they were partnered on *Dancing With the Stars* in 2017, appeared to have a fairytale ending after years of dating, the birth of their son Matteo, and a beautiful wedding in Paris. Nikki filed for divorce in September 2024, citing irreconcilable differences, and the proceedings were finalized swiftly in November 2024. The split came as a surprise to many fans who had followed their journey on the reality show *Total Bellas*.The Aftermath: Nikki Garcia's Single Status in 2025
Following the finalization of her divorce, Nikki Garcia has been very open about her current status: she is single. While the internet is always quick to link the Fearless One to new partners, she has made it clear that her focus is on co-parenting her son Matteo and moving forward with her life and career. This marks a significant chapter for Nikki, who famously ended a six-year, high-profile relationship with WWE superstar John Cena in 2018, just weeks before their planned wedding.Why Nikki Bella and John Cena Broke Up
The reason for Nikki Bella and John Cena’s split remains one of the most talked-about celebrity breakups in recent memory. The core issue was a fundamental disagreement over having children. Nikki had a strong desire to be a mother and start a family, a dream that clashed with Cena's long-standing reluctance to have children. Despite Cena publicly changing his mind and offering to have children with her, Nikki ultimately decided to end the engagement, realizing that forcing him to change his mind was not fair to either of them. This decision eventually led her to find a partner in Artem Chigvintsev, with whom she welcomed her son, Matteo, proving her desire for motherhood was paramount.Brie Bella and Bryan Danielson: An Enduring WWE Love Story
In stark contrast to her twin sister’s recent relationship drama, Brie Bella’s marriage to Bryan Danielson (known to WWE fans as Daniel Bryan) is a picture of stability and long-term commitment. The couple first met in the WWE locker room in 2010 when they were paired in a wrestling storyline that quickly blossomed into a real-life romance. Their relationship has been chronicled extensively, from their engagement in 2013 to their rustic wedding in 2014, which was featured prominently on the reality series *Total Divas*. They are one of the most beloved and down-to-earth couples in the wrestling world, often affectionately referred to as "Brie Mode" and "The American Dragon."The Danielson Family Life and Career Balance
Brie and Bryan share two children, daughter Birdie Joe and son Buddy Dessert, born three years apart. Their family life is rooted in the Pacific Northwest, embracing a more sustainable, natural lifestyle that aligns with Bryan’s personal values. Bryan Danielson’s professional life has seen a recent shift, moving from his full-time tenure in WWE to joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and transitioning to a semi-retired schedule. This change has allowed him to spend more time with his family, a decision that Brie has openly supported, even as he contemplates a full retirement in the near future. Brie, now known as Brie Garcia, has also been vocal about the possibility of one last run in the wrestling ring, though her focus remains on her family and entrepreneurial ventures with Nikki.Topical Authority: The Bella Twins’ Children and Family Entities
