Nikki Bella and ex-‘DWTS’ pro Artem Chigvintsev are engaged

Nikki Bella is ringing in the new year with a new engagement.

The “Total Bellas” star announced on Instagram on Friday that her boyfriend, former “Dancing With the Stars” pro Artem Chigvintsev, quietly popped the question two months ago.

“Excited for 2020 and the next decade with you @theartemc,” Bella, 36, captioned the post. “I said yes in France in November! We have been trying to keep it a secret but really wanted to share our excitement for the New Year!”

The former WWE superstar shared a photo from the romantic proposal, which featured the pair all dressed up in a room surrounded by roses and candles as violinists played in the background. Bella also flaunted her diamond ring in a separate pic.

Chigvintsev, 37, reposted the photos, and told his fiancée, “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. So excited for what’s to come I love you more then anything and thank you for saying Yes.”

Bella and Chigvintsev first met in 2017 when she was the dance pro’s partner on Season 25 of “Dancing With the Stars.” At the time, Bella was still engaged to WWE star John Cena, but they officially called it quits in July 2018.

Bella and Chigvintsev reportedly began seeing each other romantically in late 2018. However, they did not confirm they were officially a couple until July 2019.

Several “DWTS” cast members congratulated the couple on their engagement via social media following their announcement Friday.

Dancer Lindsay Arnold wrote, “YAYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh I am so so so happy for you guys!!!” Season 28 winner Alan Bersten added, “Congrats!!!!!!”
