Nikki Bella said she is exploring whether she wants to have ‘another baby’ or return to WWE roster

Nikki Bella said she is ‘actually thinking about having another baby’ with fiance Artem Chigvintsev – but weighing it against the prospects of a return to the WWE roster.

‘The thing is, I want to get back in the wrestling ring,’ she told Us Weekly Thursday. ‘There’s so many things I want to do, and I feel bad … I just don’t think I have time.’

‘I have such a battle in my head, because I would want to wait and then I’m like, “OK, so I’m closer to 40. How’s that going to be?,”‘ the Total Bellas star, 37, who welcomed seven-month-old son Matteo last summer with the dance pro, 38, told the outlet. 

She continued: ‘And then I’m like, “No, no, no. I’m just going to have Matteo” … but it’s like, now that I have Matteo, I want to give him a sibling.’

The Tampa, Florida native noted her son already has a set of de facto siblings in his cousin, Brie Bella’s daughter Birdie, three, and son Buddy, seven months, with WWE star Daniel Bryan.

‘When we see Buddy, and Buddy and Birdie, I’m like, “Oh, no matter what, he’ll always be a sibling,”‘ she said. ‘It just makes me feel bad that when he goes to bed at night though, he’ll always be by himself.’

Bella said Chigvintsev wants another baby, adding, ‘If I could have a girl up here … he’d be in heaven.’

The wrestling and reality star said she felt like she would ‘be prepped differently and emotionally’ after welcoming her first child last July amid the early months of the coronavirus pandemic.

‘I think I was so afraid of Mateo or anyone touching him, or this or that,’ she said. ‘I would be different right from the beginning, for sure.’

Bella and Chigvintsev initially came together on 2017’s season, coming in seventh place in the year Jordan Fisher and dance pro Lindsay Arnold claimed the mirror-ball trophy.

Bella spoke with the outlet as she promoted her new baby haircare brand, Tearless.
