People Editorial Guidelines Published on September 8, 2022 12:19PM EDT Nikki Bella is enjoying married life with husband Artem Chigvintsev. During an episode of The Bellas Podcast released Wednesday on SiriusXM's Stitcher, the 38-year-old Total Bellas star spoke to twin sister, Brie, about her excitement for becoming a wife. She began, "I think that actually is what excites me the most is getting to call Artem my husband." But Nikki did admit that having to now refer to Chigvintsev, 40, as such is still an adjustment. "That's been the biggest change," she explained. "Shocking thing is like, everyone now texts me like, 'Oh, is your husband there?' Like, using the word husband. I'm like, 'Oh, my gosh. Yeah, he is my husband.'" Brie then pointed out "what a great feeling" it must be for Nikki to finally be able to call Chigvintsev her spouse. Nikki agreed, "It's the best feeling." From Dance Partners to Life Partners: A Look Back at Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev's Romance Greg Doherty/Getty The newlyweds met in 2017 while competing as partners on Dancing with the Stars, but Nikki was dating her now-ex-fiancé John Cena at the time. After ending her relationship with Cena in 2018, she reconnected with Chigvintsev later that year. They then went public with their romance in March 2019. The couple got engaged in November 2019 and welcomed son Matteo in July 2020. They wed in Paris last month, announcing the news on Instagram alongside a photo of their wedding bands. Detailing the romantic occasion on Wednesday's podcast, Brie said that "the whole journey was just beautiful" from "beginning to end." Rodin Eckenroth/Getty "I'm so happy for you. I'm so happy for Artem. So happy for little Tay-Tay," she continued. "It was everything and more. It really was." Nikki, in turn, said the entire wedding day experience "goes by so fast." "The whole wedding, like, when everyone says, 'It goes by so fast,' all I keep thinking is like, 'I wanna relive it,'" she explained. "I was like, 'I wanna do it again. I wanna walk down the aisle again and I wanna have a first dance and all these fun things.'"
