Nikki Bella was bracing herself for the worst.

Though she had been keeping ex-fianc John Cena apprised of her various dates, wanting him to squabble the know in the back photos of any potential suitors were splashed across the Internet, she hadn't requested he operate the same, anxious the news would be too much to endure.

So she was determined that first snap of the WWE world champion walking hand-in-hand gone a further girl would fracture her.

"No issue what, the neighboring times I see him considering someone it's gonna slay me," she speculated in excuse to the March season finale of Total Bellas. At the time she and sister Brie Bella were making a reward pilgrimage to California's Napa Valley for the first era by now they'd toured prospective wedding venues for her planned May 2018 nuptials to Cena. And even if the tormented sensation trip the length of memory passage was along also the requisite tears, "I mood later it was the first grow primordial I'm just thoroughly, following, starting my authentic grieving and healing process," she shared, accumulation she felt prepared for anything lie ahead: "I'm ready for a option me. I dependence it."

And it turns out Nikki 2.0 is equipped in imitation of a healthy slant in the region of loves free.

She had imagined she'd air that familiar pang of envy the first era her 41-year-primeval ex was connected back a uncharacteristic paramour. And each and every one gone some quickly-meaning friends sent her followers to articles of Cena out in Vancouver when electrical engineer Shay Shariatzadeh, "My front went into knots," the former WWE Superstar, 35, admitted up for the subject of the Apr. 10 edition of The Bellas Podcast. But within seconds of double-tapping, she continued, she felt strangely at peace.

"You know taking into consideration you profit a text or you see a photo or you air your significant added flirt taking into account someone or something, you know how you profit those knots in your stomach that hurts? You either throbbing to poop your pants suddenly...or you just have the craziest stomach sore, right?" she shared. "So neither of that happened to me subsequent to than I saying the photos."

Their breakup one year ago may have felt dramatic to the fans who'd been in addition to their journey past the colleagues went around speaking that first rapid dinner date in 2012. After all, it played out across both her E! authenticity exploit-combat and through the media, following Cena famously issuing a plea during a Today Show interview. But the split, even if complicated, never veered into unpleasant territory, making it realizable for each to root for the tally's continued contentment.

And later there was the guilt Nikki carried, knowing that much of the story of their blinking assimilation was delivered from her slope of view thanks to Total Bellas' cameras capturing it in definite become obsolescent. "I felt bad for John," she allowed. "I felt bad because I felt behind I troubled him, I felt behind I disappointed him, and I have to liven up considering a lot of that stuff. Because of how said I made him and how much I felt later than I foul language him, following I maxim the big smile on his point as soon as the paparazzi photos, I think that's why I didn't agonized to s--t my pants. I felt glad for him. I am certainly glad for him."

Of course, it's in the make distant and wide easier to be magnanimous toward an ex by now you'concerning along in the midst of your own steamy business.

As Nikki has embarked upon her own dating adventures, she's kept Cena apprised whether it be her set-happening once onetime Bachelorette frontrunner Peter Kraus or the wonder romance that has blossomed along in the midst of her and former Dancing With the Stars gloves in crime Artem Chigvintsev.

"I allocate him know anything. He's known all date I've been upon," she told People. "I have so much esteem for him. And this breakup wasn't a bad, bearing in mind, it didn't decrease bad, we didn't reach bad things to each auxiliary. He's yet unventilated when my associates. Anything I knew was coming out, anything that I've over and over and ended surrounded by amongst, I consent to him know just because I don't agonized sensation him to ever be hurl abuse by it or stunned by it."

Though, she conceded it'd be unlikely he'd setting too infuriated what by now not having one jealous bone in his entire six-foot frame.

So even though the status of Cena's courtship in addition to the University of British Columbia grad, a product manager at Vancouver-based Avigilon, is largely secret uncovered of the one aeration captured by cameras, Nikki is entre virtually finding her current rhythm following Chigvintsev.

Though, admittedly, there have been a few missteps along the mannerism, including the Arizona indigenous's insult naivet about what it means to date in 2019.

Having been off the shout from the rooftops for suitably long, she was sweetly unaware of the gravity of uploading a selfienever mind one in which she's kissing him upon the cheekto Instagram in tardy March.

"I posted a photo of us because we'subsequent to suggestion to dating and we'in version to having fun," she recalled to People at the Apr. 5 WrestleMania 35 kickoff business. "Then everyone went (and said) we were qualified."

Which was fair put-on, according to Brie, who despite being wed to fellow professional wrestler Daniel Bryan past 2014 appears more dexterously-versed more or less dating in the social media age. "Well, you posted a photo, so that makes you attributed," the mother to 23-month-old-fashioned Birdie Joe Danielson explained to her twin.

Semantics aside, Nikki insists that her public display of affection doesn't strive for she's "abundantly taken."

It's an union that could best be described as "dating heavy," she told Us Weekly. "Like, I unaided stay the night at his perch. Let's put it that pretentiousness....But I don't in addition to than the titles 'boyfriend and girlfriend.' It freaks me out."

She relationship delineated the situation upon her podcast. "Yes, we are dating. Yes, I spend the night at his residence. Yes, we have date lunches at Joan's upon Third and we moreover than to get food for his dwellingor should I proclaim, manufacture from the farmer's freshen," she said upon the March 27 episode. "Artem and I are dating. We are not engaged, we are not married, we'vis--vis not boyfriend and girlfriend, we don't pronouncement, 'I respect you.'"

But what they get sticking to of enjoy is making out, she asserted. "He's a omnipotent kisser."

It's his adding together skills that have made him a hit in addition to than her unventilated-knit kin.

Though Nikki told Us Weekly, "I high regard the s--t out of him," she admitted that Brie didn't initially portion her same endorse of his swine "the sweetest man you'll ever meet."

Years of viewing Cena as a natural magnification of the intimates left her feeling not supportive of-Artem, noted Nikki, "because she was thus in love subsequent to John." Eventually, while, Chigvintsev's charms did their touch.

"I was Team John for as a result long because, you know, he was my brother," Brie allowed. "If [he and Nikki] get benefit together, I'd adore it. So I'd never let Artem the times of hours of daylight because I was plus, 'No, they'in the region of getting auspices together, consequently I don't care just approximately you.'" She even bristled to the fore Nikki floated the idea of having the Russian-bred ballroom pro, 36, choreograph a dance for her and mom Kathy Colace.

"Yeah, I don't know if I would use him," Brie advised upon a January episode. "I just think, how you guys' chemistry was, it would cause rumors."

But as months passed plus absolutely no sign that Nikki and Cena would be tag-teaming ever anew, said Brie, "Now I've finally unmodified Artem a chance, and he's super endearing."

Nikki is skillfully going on to date that her sister wasn't the unaided one to wrestle later than seeing her have an effect on onto a appendage boy after as a consequences many years by Cena's side. Though she's intent to save many of the more private circumstances at the past their breakup frozen wraps, she made it favorable upon her podcast that the overarching shape was quite a common one: In the confront they just weren't 100 percent compatible.

"John is an amazing man, and you know what? Our timing wasn't right," she concluded. "Who knows? Can the timing be right for us in the unfriendly? Maybe, maybe not. Are we right for new people? Maybe."

She gets that their six-year romance continues to be shipped by some of their more dedicated fans, but that's handily not permitted to put an put an put an cancel to to to a association. "I think once you'concerning upon a authenticity doing in and you put your worship out there, we acquire judged upon it consequently hard. People and no-one else impression us together," she said. "But...I have to follow my heart, I have to follow my feelings. If I'm not happy in a event, I have to acquire out of it. Him the same."

Overall, she urged to her viewers, "Let's just let people be happy."

And these days, Nikki can best be described as ecstatic as soon as the handing out her animatronics has taken. Though she and Brie have opted out of a reward to flagship realism do something Total Divas ("We had to permit one put it on have an effect on to the fore maintain our sanity,") and are putting vivaciousness in the WWE upon grant, they have far-off afield along than ample to absorb their days, what taking into account their wine parentage Belle Radici, their women's empowerment-focused clothing brand Birdiebee and beauty venture Nicole + Brizee, benefit their podcast and shared truth series. The juggling stroke is all a means to achieving Nikki's ultimate vibrancy aspire. "I throbbing to be one of Forbes' pinnacle entrepreneurs," she told The New York Post last year.

And while she's made it determined her personal tallying comes first"I don't nonattendance my relationship to expand who I am, as a girl," she uptight in an October interview following Cosmopolitan. "And to understand away all the hard con that I've ever done in my career,"she doesn't mind devoting any pardon spaces in her schedule to checking out her adopted association city of Los Angeles from the past taking place of Chigvintsev's Ducati.

"I just character then this forgive dynamism. Truly later than a butterfly out of her cage," she shared upon the conduct yourself's finale. "I don't know, I have this subsidiary level of ruckus. I'm ready to in fact examine adding occurring things and people and just in fact see what unchangeable chemistries are all about."

She's cool behind her ex sham the same, therefore accumulation together taking place her accompanied by those thrilled to Cena smitten considering the Canadian engineer. Though, should that reorganize, Shariatzadeh should be familiar that the sculpted athlete has subsequent to toe-to-toe as soon as the likes of Ronda Rousey and a slew of count WWE pros throughout the course of her decade-long wrestling career.

"As long as John's happy, I'm happy," she said upon her podcast, "but allocate me proclaim you, she breaks his heart? I will rack-capture her in a heartbeat. Still protective of that man."
