Nikki Bella and Boyfriend Artem Chigvintsev Pack on the PDA on a Lunch Date in L.A.

Look at these lovebirds. The 35-year-old WWE retiree got her phone out to document her time with her new BF — and clearly, he thought that was very cute. She’s a funny gal, ain’t she, Artem?

After much speculation about the duo, we were so glad when Nikki confirmed her romance with Artem, 36. The WWE maven revealed their status during the March 27 episode of the podcast she shares with twin sis Brie Bella called “The Bellas Podcast.”

It all started back in summer 2018 when the former WWE star and her ex-fiancé, John Cena, broke things off for good after six years of on-and-off coupling. In the months that followed, she was spotted with her one-time DWTS partner quite a bit.

She also lightly dated Bachelor alum Peter Krauss during that timeframe, but clearly, he didn’t get her attention the same way Artem did. Could’ve been all those insane dance skills, but what do we know? We dig a guy who can move his hips!

By early March, the brunette beauty was spotted leaving the dancer’s home at the wee hours of the morn — a telltale sign that something romantic was going on between the duo. And boy, were we right about that.

The handsome hunk started showing up on Nikki’s social media and the pair were seen out together acting cozy. Nothing was official quite yet between them but we were, naturally, hoping.

About a week later, Nikki spoke on her podcast about how difficult it would be to see her ex move on with another woman — just days after he was spotted with a mystery babe in Vancouver. But clearly, she had her own plans for moving on in mind.

Days later, she confirmed the romance on her podcast. “Yes, we are dating. Yes, I spend the night at his house,” she revealed. “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.”

Fun fact: this cute little PDA-filled outing was a lunch date at Joan’s On Third, so it seems as though the couple still has a soft spot for the joint. How sweet!

Since making things ~official~ between them, the couple has not stopped posting photos of one another! Between their cute at-home dinner dates, couples workouts and Disney trips, Nikki and Artem became regular fixtures in each other’s lives quickly.

For Artem’s birthday on June 12, the reality TV babe gushed about her boyfriend on Instagram and it was too cute. “Happy Birthday to a man who not only makes my face smile, but my heart,” Nikki wrote. “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!”

Needless to say, these two cuties really brighten our day. If they have that effect on us, we can only imagine what kind they have on each other.
