Nikki Bella has expressed her want to start her own family from when she was formerly with John Cena. Their breakup had something to do with the fact that John didn’t want to have children but attempted to change his mind for Nikki. In the end, things just didn’t work out and John went on to date engineer Shay Shariatzadeh while Nikki is engaged to Artem Chigvintsev.

Just yesterday we posted about Nikki and her twin Brie Bella, who have both announced that they’re expecting a child and are due just weeks apart. “Wait, twins being pregnant at the same time? People are going to think that’s a joke,” Brie said. “We both are shocked. People are going to think we planned it, but you can’t really plan pregnancy!” The baby marks Brie’s second child with Daniel Bryan and Nikki’s first with Artem. 

Nikki has more recently been spotted out and about in Los Angeles holding her growing baby bump on her way to an engagement with a friend. “[It was] a total surprise,” Nikki said of becoming a mom. “It took even me a good week to come to terms with like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m pregnant.’ I’m not ready for it.” 

Nikki and Brie Bella have been representing the WWE for years, slowing down in recent times to focus on other ventures and their families. Through their reality show Total Bellas, each aspect of their lives has been on display for the fans to follow, allowing cameras into their homes for the public’s enjoyment. Three years ago, Brie Bella and her husband Daniel Bryan welcomed their daughter Birdie Joe Danielson into the world and now, it looks like they’re expecting another bundle of joy. What makes things even cooler is that, in addition to Brie’s pregnancy, her twin sister Nikki Bella is also pregnant!

“[It was] a total surprise,” said Nikki Bella to People. “It took even me a good week to come to terms with like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m pregnant.’ I’m not ready for it.” Bella recently got engaged to Artem Chigvintsev following her dramatic break-up with wrestler John Cena. 

“Wait, twins being pregnant at the same time? People are going to think that’s a joke,” added Brie. “We both are shocked. People are going to think we planned it, but you can’t really plan pregnancy!”

This will be Brie’s second child with Daniel Bryan and Nikki’s first baby with Chigvintsev. The stars are due less than two weeks apart, making this all the more incredible. Those kids will be friends for life. Congratulations to the twins!

WWE legends Nikki and Brie, aka The Bella Twins, recently hopped into the cold tubs for Kevin Hart’s Youtube series “Cold As Balls.” In fact, they took over the two ice baths in the studio, leaving the comedian to set up shop in a pint-sized tub.

During the episode, Hart spoke with Nikki and Brie about a range of topics, including their journeys to the WWE, which began at Hooters and ultimately led to a main event match against “The Baddest Woman On The Planet,” Ronda Rousey. The trio also discussed their relationships with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, wrestling nicknames, what Hart’s theme song would be, and the twins’ rise to super stardom in the world of professional wrestling. 

Check out the full episode in the video embedded below.

The Bella Twins further expanded upon how they got hooked on WWE during a recent interview with Health.com, as they revealed how the Hooters they worked at for a few years would always air the WWE pay-per-view events.

Says Brie (H/T Health.com): 

“We were soccer players and played competitively, traveling around the United States. After graduating high school, we went to California for college. We were working at Hooters to make money, and they’d play pay-per-view WWE matches.”

“It was fascinating seeing these women wrestle. See, Nicole and I were athletes, but we also loved to lip-synch to the Spice Girls. When our parents would have parties, Nicole and I would perform for the entire party. Watching wrestling, I realized it was a mix of athleticism and entertainment. I found out the Diva Search was going on and started getting more into it. It was everything we loved to do. So I persuaded Nicole to try out. We actually didn’t make it—they weren’t looking for twins. But through that, we were offered the chance to go through a training program, and we fell in love with it there.”
