Going strong! Artem Chigvintsev took to Instagram on Thursday, June 27, to share a set of photos in which he’s giving girlfriend Nikki Bella a piggyback ride, and his caption has us LOL-ing.

“Nicole is pretending that we are in Australia and she is a koala. #life,” the 37-year-old wrote. It wasn’t long until Nikki chimed in. “LOL reading that you are so Russian, but yes, I am a koala in L.A. Maybe I feel like in Australia. All I know you give me koala vibes,” the 35-year-old commented of her Russian-American beau.

The couple became linked to each other in January. Then in March, Nikki took to her and her sister’s podcast, “The Bellas Pocast” to confirm the relationship. “Yes, we are dating. Yes, I spend the night at his house,” she said at the time. “Yes, we have date lunches at Joan’s on Third and we like to get food for his house — or should I say, produce from the farmer’s markets. So, let’s consider this rumor killed.”

However, the brunette beauty made it clear she doesn’t believe in labeling the relationship. “Artem and I are dating. We are not engaged, we are not married, we’re not boyfriend and girlfriend, we don’t say ‘I love you,'” Nikki confessed, before adding, “Yeah, we make out. What else? He’s a great kisser.”

In mid-June, the reality star once again gushed over Artem and gave him a very sweet birthday shout-out. “Happy Birthday to a man who not only makes my face smile, but my heart,” Nikki wrote on the social media site. “You’re a special one, Mr. Chigvintsev! Your relaxing, calm, patient, kind, happy energy and aura is contagious! You truly are the kindest soul I have ever met. Thank you for bringing a lot of sunshine into my life. Happy Birthday, my Artem!”

We love these two together!
