Their togetherness not only brought the two closer in real life but also helped them grow professionally. However, after being together for almost five years, the couple decided to part ways.

Both of them are now married to the partners they found after their breakup and are living their best possible lives. Nikki Bella is now a mother to her son, Matteo.
