Nikki Bella & Artem Chigvintsev Are Not Legally Married

Nikki Bella was in a relationship with John Cena from 2012 until their highly publicized breakup in 2018. Thankfully, it did not take Nikki Bella long before she eventually found her life partner in Artem Chigvintsev. While they did get married, it seems the couple isn’t actually legally married.

Bella and Artem Chigvintsev recently got married on the Nikki Bella Says I Do show. The upcoming four-part reality series follows Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev as they prepare for their wedding in August 2022. The Bella twin, who rose to fame alongside her sister Brie in Total Divas and later on their own spin-off show, has a history of her relationship with John Cena being a focal point of the series.

Bella and Chigvintsev met on the 25th season of Dancing With The Stars, where he was a dancer and she was a contestant. The couple now have a child together. The show delves into Bella’s past struggles with commitment as she moves forward with marriage, but it should be noted that the reality of the series may not be entirely authentic.

The new reality TV series, which follows Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev as they plan for their wedding, has recently come under scrutiny as fans of the show discovered that public records indicate that the couple is not legally married. Given that the entire premise of the show is about their wedding, this revelation has raised questions about the authenticity of the show.

The series was expected to mark Nikki Bella’s return to reality TV after the end of Total Bellas in 2021. The discovery of legal marriage records of Artem and Nikki call into question the reality of the show.

Despite the new 4-part series coming to E! on Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev’s wedding, they’re not legally married. Fans found recent public records post-“wedding” listing him as legally unmarried and are upset they feel lied to. WWE Star framed this show as her finally overcoming commitment issues and getting legally married, but really, its just a cash grab in front of 10 guests claiming to say I Do.

Nikki Bella was also recently brutally trolled after posting her wedding photos. We will have to wait and see whether Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev will rectify this mistake in the future.
