Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, better known as Nikki Bella, earned recognition as a former WWE wrestler and American TV personality. She achieved fame in WWE, where she wrestled alongside her twin sister Brie Bella from 2007 to 2023, forming the renowned tag team, The Bella Twins.
Nikki’s legacy includes holding the record for the longest reign as Divas Champion, a remarkable 301 days. In 2021, both Nikki and Brie received induction into the Hall of Fame.
Nikki Bella, the WWE star, landed a knockout husband, a ballroom dancer after they were paired on Dancing With the Stars. They tied the knot in Paris on August 26, 2022, after three years of dating. In 2020, Artem Chigvintsev, a professional dancer on Dancing With The Stars, clinched victory alongside The Bachelor’s Kaitlyn Bristowe.
Before that, Artem had joined the UK’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2010, where he promptly achieved success by winning the glitterball trophy with his inaugural celebrity partner, Kara Tointon. Off the dance floor, Artem enjoyed a three-year romantic relationship with the former EastEnders star.

In the following years, Artem partnered with Aussie actress and singer Holly Valance, TV presenter Fern Britton, and soap star Natalie Gumede. However, due to changes in the production team, Artem departed from Strictly in 2013.
In 2014, he secured a position as a backing dancer on Dancing With The Stars, eventually earning a promotion to professional dancer in 2015. Since then, he has danced alongside Lea Thompson, Patti LaBelle, Mischa Barton, Maureen McCormick, and Nancy Kerrigan.
Artem, a highly skilled dancer specializing in Latin dance, claimed numerous dance event victories in Russia before embarking on further training in Germany at the age of 15. He honed his skills through training in Italy and Britain before relocating to the United States in 2003.
As of 2023, Artem Chigvintsev’s estimated net worth, as per Celebrity Net Worth, stands at around $6 million. His primary source of income stems from his career as a professional dancer.
How many kids do Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev have?
Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev have a three-year-old son named Matteo. The couple discovered they were expecting long before their wedding. In fact, Nikki expressed shock at the news back in 2020 when she told People that she had thought she would have difficulty getting pregnant and had intended to freeze her eggs.

Nikki confided in the outlet that Artem was immediately overjoyed, describing it as really cute. She also added, “I was scared, but I can’t believe this because it’s not like we were actively trying or thinking, ‘Hey, we’re married, let’s have a baby.’ That wasn’t our plan at all”.
Another surprising twist occurred when Nikki’s twin sister, Brie Bella, found out she was pregnant at the same time, with their due dates being just a week and a half apart. Fast forward to July 2020, and Nikki and Artem became parents to a son named Matteo Artemovich Chigvintsev.

In April 2021, fans began speculating that the new mom might be expecting again, but she swiftly dismissed the rumor on Good Morning America. She informed her social media followers that she was simply feeling super bloated due to travel and hormonal changes as her breastfeeding journey came to an end.
However, The Bella Twins concluded their WWE in-ring careers back in October 2018. They currently feature in the E! series ‘Total Bellas’, a reality show centered around their lives.
