Is WWE star Nikki Bella using dating apps? Here's what you need to know

Nikki Bella made her WWE return this year

WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella has had a whirlwind year, returning to the squared circle, managing life as a single mother, and navigating her personal journey post-divorce. Naturally, fans are curious: is Nikki Bella back in the dating pool, or is she keeping things strictly family-focused?

After a high-profile relationship and eventual marriage to Dancing With the Stars partner Artem Chigvintsev, the former Divas Champion filed for divorce in September 2024. Their split, finalized last November, followed Artem’s arrest on domestic violence charges. The two now share custody of their 4-year-old son Matteo.

While Bella recently returned to action on Monday Night RAW, it’s clear her priorities outside the ring are firmly grounded in family, especially her role as a mother.

“I’m dating my son” – Nikki shuts down dating rumors

In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Nikki Bella was asked if she had any “summer flings” or was exploring dating apps after her divorce. Her response was candid and light-hearted:

“No. I tell people I’m dating my son. It’s really weird because I don’t crave it at all,” Bella said.

“I am tempted to get on, is it Raya or Reya? I’m tempted to get on there just to have maybe a fun like texting-sesh type of summer love, but I’m not in the mood to wine and dine with anyone like at all.” [From 04:43 to 05:02]

While she admitted a temptation to try the celebrity-favored dating app Raya, Bella made it clear that she isn’t interested in traditional dating at the moment.

“Nothing serious for years” – Nikki Bella set’s boundaries

In another heartfelt conversation, this time on What Do You Wanna Talk About?, Cody Rhodes’ podcast, Nikki opened up further about her future plans when it comes to relationships.

“I don’t want anything serious for years because I don’t want anything to interfere with my son and I,” she shared.

“And I don’t want my son to meet anyone. I just want him to have his mom and his dad and that’s it. I think that’s healthy for him right now.” [From 44:25 to 44:40]

Bella’s commitment to her son’s emotional stability speaks volumes. She’s choosing intentional singlehood over rushing into any new relationship, especially during a pivotal time in Matteo’s life.

WWE return, motherhood, and a new chapter

Having recently returned to WWE television, Nikki Bella is showing fans that she’s still got plenty of fire left in her career. Balancing wrestling, media appearances, and parenting, Bella’s plate is full and she seems content with that.

Though she may be flirting with the idea of some lighthearted online fun, the former reality TV star is focused on healing, motherhood, and rediscovering herself on her own terms.

As her WWE run gains momentum, Bella proves you can be a powerhouse both in and out of the ring without needing a plus one by your side.
