Watch: Artem Chigvintsev Says Nikki Garcia Breakup Was “Inevitable” in Rare Comment
Nikki Garcia hasn’t thrown down in quite some time.
Months after the WWE Hall of Famer known as Nikki Bella sparked romance rumors with Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean, she shared a candid update about her love life.
“I’m pretty much like a nun at this point,” Nikki told Us Weekly in an interview published August 1. “Super celibate. I should just put on a ring.”
She added, “I wish I was out there getting wild. I just don’t have energy for it.”
Nikki settled her divorce with ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev in November 2024, two years after the pair tied the knot. Following the split, romance rumors began to swirl around Nikki, 42, and Cooper, 23, after the pair were seen looking awfully cozy during her trip to Philadelphia last December.
But weeks after they were seen together in the City of Brotherly Love, Nikki seemingly shut down the hearsay on a December 2025 episode of her and twin sister Brie Garcia’s The Nikki & Brie Show podcast, sharing she hadn’t been intimate with someone in “a really long time.”
Since then, Brie shared she’s “been trying” to set Nikki—mom to 6-year-old son Matteo with Artem—up on dates, which she’s respectfully declined.
“She’s too busy, and I get it,” Brie continued to Us Weekly. “Matteo is her world right now. She’s like, ‘I have no time between being on the road, our wine company and our podcast, and then Matteo.’”

“I try. But she’s like, ‘No, no.’ This is the thing with her: If she has a free night, she wants to Netflix and chill,” Brie added. “She’s like, ‘I don’t want to go on a date. I don’t have to dress up.’”
But that’s not stopping Brie—who shares kids Birdie, 9, and Buddy, 5, with husband Bryan Danielson—from playing wing woman. As she put it, “I still keep my eyes open. There’s been some prospects.”
Until she’s ready to dive back into the dating pool, Nikki remains focused on the most important man in her life—her son.
“He gives me the greatest love ever,” Nikki told E! News in February 2025 of her little guy. “He fills my cup up beyond.”
