Nikki Garcia aka Nikki Bella has opened up about her current dating life, revealing that she hasn’t been intimate in a “really long time.” The former WWE Champion discussed her personal life on the latest episode of SiriusXM’s The Nikki & Brie Show, addressing misconceptions about her romantic status following her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev.
Garcia, who finalized her divorce from the Dancing with the Stars pro in November 2024, admitted that she has largely stayed away from physical intimacy since the split.
“It’s crazy because I actually haven’t been touched or done anything in so long and he’s like ‘Oh,’ and I go, ‘Yeah, so it’s funny when people call me a whore when I actually haven’t had intimacy in a really long time,'” Garcia said. “Even think of kissing.”
She jokingly questioned whether she even remembers how to kiss after such a long dry spell. “I haven’t even kissed someone in so long. It’s kind of crazy. I was thinking about this last night, like ‘Do I still know how to kiss?’ You know when it’s been so long?”
Her comments come amidst swirling rumors linking her to Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean. Speculation began after Garcia posted a photo of herself in DeJean’s locker following an Eagles game, sparking online debate due to the 20-year age gap between the two. Despite the rumors, Garcia has maintained that she is currently single and focused on her career and son, Matteo.
