And since the breakup, she has dipped her toes in the dating pond. She <a href=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/nikki-garcia-joined-raya-lonely-after-artem-chigvintsev-divorce\/\">joined the dating app <strong>Raya<\/strong><\/a> because she got \u201clonely in hotel rooms\u201d while traveling for work after coming out of retirement for <strong>WWE<\/strong>. She was most recently linked to 23-year-old<strong> Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong> player <strong>Cooper DeJean<\/strong> \u2014 though that didn\u2019t seem to go anywhere.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/amanda-batula-kyle-cooke-explain-why-stopped-getting-intimate-during-four-year-marriage\/\"><strong>Related: Why Amanda Batula &amp; Kyle Cooke Stopped Getting Intimate During Their Marriage!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other than that, we haven\u2019t heard much about Nikki\u2019s love life\u2026 because it turns out she doesn\u2019t really have one right now! She revealed to <em>Us Weekly<\/em> on Saturday that she has been \u201csuper celibate\u201d at this point:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pretty much like a nun at this point. Super celibate. I should just put on a ring. I wish I was out there getting wild. I just don\u2019t have energy for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s not like she doesn\u2019t have a wing woman helping her out! She does! Her sister, <strong>Brie Garcia<\/strong>, said she\u2019s \u201cbeen trying\u201d to set up the reality star on dates recently. However, Nikki\u2019s main focus is on something else \u2014 her 5-year-old son <strong>Matteo<\/strong>, whom she shares with Artem. Brie explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s too busy, and I get it. Matteo is her world right now. She\u2019s like, \u2018I have no time between being on the road, our wine company and our podcast, and then Matteo.\u2019 I try. But she\u2019s like, \u2018No, no.\u2019 This is the thing with her: If she has a free night, she wants to Netflix and chill. She\u2019s like, \u2018I don\u2019t want to go on a date. I don\u2019t have to dress up.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Girl, we get it! Dating takes a lot of effort and energy sometimes!<\/p>\n<p>Brie isn\u2019t giving up, though! She\u2019s determined to find someone for her sister! She continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI still keep my eyes open. There\u2019s been some prospects.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t come as a shock Nikki\u2019s not into dating too much. When the Bella twin signed up for Raya, she shared that she only wanted to text people and wasn\u2019t looking for anything serious. And she\u2019s not for a long time:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want anything now. Like, I don\u2019t want anything serious for years, because I don\u2019t want anything to interfere with my son and I. And I don\u2019t want my son to meet anyone. I just want him to have his mom and his dad, and that\u2019s it. I think that\u2019s healthy for him right now. So, I don\u2019t want anything like that to happen for like, years, and I don\u2019t even want to give my energy to someone. Like, I\u2019m raising him, and that\u2019s all I want to give my energy and time to. I think it would just be fun to text people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If Nikki ever decides to date seriously, whoever she ends up with better treat her right\u2026 and show her a fun time!<\/p>\n<p>Reactions, Perezcious readers?
