Nikki Bella Opens Heart to Romance Again on Raya, Post-Divorce

Nikki Bella, seen in January, is opening her heart to romance again after her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev

SPLIT AND SET FREE: NIKKI BELLA OPENS UP ABOUT HEARTBREAK, NEW MEN, AND FOCUS ON HER SON

WWE superstar Nikki Bella is finally moving on from her tumultuous marriage to Artem Chigvintsev! After a six-month divorce battle that ended with the Dancing With The Stars alum being let off scot-free due to lack of evidence in his domestic violence case, Nikki is ready to shake off the dust and get back into the dating game.

But don't expect her to go full-on romance just yet. This 41-year-old WWE beauty is taking things slow, signing up for celebrity dating app Raya, but stressing that she's not looking for anything serious... at least, not right now. Her focus remains firmly on her adorable four-year-old son, Matteo, who she shares with her ex-husband.

Nikki recently revealed that she is on celebrity dating app Raya and is taking steps to find a new man - although she added her main focus is her four-year-old son, Matteo

"I'm raising him, and that's all I want to give my energy and time to," Nikki confessed in a recent interview with Cody Rhodes on What Do You Wanna Talk About?. "I think it would just be fun to text people, but I don't want anything like that to happen for years."

And it seems she's not looking back. After being spotted getting cozy with her ex-fiancé John Cena at the 2025 Royal Rumble event last month, Nikki has made it clear that she's moved on from their seven-year on-again-off-again relationship.

But what about Artem? Well, sources close to The Scholarly Note have revealed that he's been living large in Napa Valley, California, having just purchased a new $4.5 million home after being awarded his marital property in the divorce settlement. Talk about rubbing salt in Nikki's wounds!

It seems Artem is trying to move on too, listing his address as a rental in Napa where he was paying a whopping $4,995 per month for rent. One can't help but wonder if he's already found someone new to share his lavish lifestyle with.

Nikki's decision to join Raya has sparked rumors that she's looking for something serious, but the reality is far from it. "I don't want anything now," she emphasized. "Like, I don't want anything serious for years because I don't want anything to interfere with my son and I."

And let's be real – who can blame her? After going through a messy divorce and dealing with the stress of co-parenting, Nikki deserves all the time in the world to focus on herself and her adorable little boy.

But what about her famous friends? Insiders claim that John Cena is still got feelings for Nikki, and we wouldn't be surprised if he's not too far behind in trying to win her back. After all, they've been through a rollercoaster of emotions together over the years – who knows, maybe this time it'll stick?

For now, Nikki seems to be enjoying the freedom of being single again, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this WWE superstar!
