“Total Bellas” star, Nikki Bella, and “Dancing With the Stars” pro, Artem Chigvinstev tie the knot after being engaged for nearly three years. According to E! News, the couple wed in Paris in front of a small group of friends and family on August 26th.<\/p>\n

Bella took to Instagram to share a photo of their wedding bands, along with a caption previewing their E! Entertainment special by saying, “We said I DO, can\u2019t wait to share the entire journey with you all when our\u00a0four-part special event, \u201cNikki Bella Says I Do,\u201d\u00a0premieres on\u00a0@eentertainment.\u00a0#NikkiBellaSaysIDo”<\/p>\n

The pair first met in 2017 while filming season 25 of Dancing With the Stars after being partnered up together. At the time, Bella was still going strong with her engagement to longtime partner, John Cena, with him assuming Chigvinstev would choregraph his and Bella’s first dance. “As far as dancing, I think he\u2019s probably gonna teach me my first dance,\u201d Cena told E! News\u00a0in November 2017. \u201cSo hopefully I\u2019ll be able to take those tips from him there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Bella and Cena ended their engagement in 2018 and the following year, Bella confirmed her relationship with Chigvinstev in the season finale of her show “Total Bellas.” She gushed by saying, \u00a0\u201cI just feel like this free spirit. Truly like a butterfly out of her cage. I don\u2019t know. I have this new level of excitement. I\u2019m just having a lot of fun. And I feel like, the first time ever, I\u2019m focusing on me. It\u2019s crazy. I\u2019m ready to really explore new things and people and just really see what certain chemistries are all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple got engaged at the end of 2019 and in that same month, announced that they were expecting their first child together who they welcomed into the word in July of 2020. Originally, Bella stated that she wanted to get married around Thanksgiving in 2021, but pushed the date back because she wanted to make sure Chigvinstev’s parents were able to travel from Russia to attend the wedding. In April of 2022, Bella hinted to Us Weekly saying their wedding date was set for fall 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, Brie [Bella, my twin sister, is] gonna have to start getting busy because she\u2019s Maid of Honor and I\u2019m going to have to put her to work! It might air on E!. So, the world may see it,\u201d she gushed.<\/p>\n
