Bella, 38, and Chigvintsev, 39, first met when they were partnered on Dancing with the Stars in 2017. They started dating in January 2019 and got engaged in November 2019, announcing the news to their fans in early January 2020. The couple welcomed their first child, Matteo, in July 2020.

Bella also revealed that they had "just started" looking at wedding venues and might have found one to "lock in" for their special day. She added that her twin sister, Brie Bella, would be her maid of honour. "Brie's gonna have to start getting busy because she's maid of honour, and I'm going to have to put her to work," she joked.

The couple's wedding might be televised on E!, with Bella teasing, "It might be on E!. So, the world may see it." She also shared that they had already chosen their wedding song, "Can't Help Falling in Love," originally performed by Elvis Presley.

They got engaged in November 2019 and welcomed a son, Matteo Artemovich, in July 2020.
