Nikki Bella's family member opens up on her split with John Cena

A close family member of former WWE Diva Nikki Bella recently spoke with Radaronline and spoke on Nikki's relationship with WWE veteran John Cena, and how the couple getting split was a blessing for her.

Cena and Nikki began dating soon after the former's divorce with Elizabeth Huberdeau was finalized on July 18, 2012. The relationship blossomed as time passed, and Cena proposed to Nikki following their Mixed Tag Team victory against The Miz and Maryse at WrestleMania 33. The relationship came to an end a year later, in April 2018.

Nikki is now in a relationship with her Dancing with the Stars partner, Artem Chigvintsev. One of Nikki's family members believes that she has never been happier than she is currently. The family member also said that Nikki's family wishes the best for Cena, but they're also relieved that the couple didn't go too far.

"Nikki is a very happy woman right now. She’s found her true happiness. It was good it ended before a wedding. She’s just blessed that it happened this way. When she does decide to marry, it’ll be a first, true wedding."

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
