In a recent episode of The Bellas Podcast, Nikki Bella finally gave an answer. She put the entire scenario of her relationships with John Cena and Artem Chigvintsev in place.
While working with him on ‘Dancing with the Stars’, Nikki shared a lot of close moments with Artem. However, she does not recall any emotions from that time.

While Artem is an excellent dancer, Nikki recalls feeling ‘scared, nervous, and out of her comfort zone’. She felt that it was ‘weird’ to dance with someone other than John Cena, who had been her man for 6 years.
