A lot has changed over the years! Nikki and Brie Bella first auditioned to become WWE Divas at the young age of 22. Before they were Bellas, they called themselves the Garcia Twins — but it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it. Now, over a decade later, the famous twins look as beautiful as ever, have conquered the ring and are killing it in their personal lives.
Brie has been navigating motherhood with her daughter, Birdie, whom she shares with husband Daniel Bryan, while Nikki has found happiness with Dancing With the Stars pro and fiancé Artem Chigvintsev. Of course, the sisters are still extremely close — so much so they both welcomed babies just one day apart from one another in summer 2020.
Nikki gave birth to her first child with the Russian dancer on July 31, while Brie delivered baby No. 2 with her husband (real name: Bryan Danielson) on August 1. “Nikki and Brie gave birth on almost the same day, and they couldn’t be happier about it,” an insider exclusively told Life & Style at the time. “There was no sibling rivalry between them when it came to sharing their special day.” Naturally, “carrying their babies together and then giving birth so close has only strengthened their bond.”
The proud mamas made a big decision to move from their longtime dwellings in Phoenix, Arizona to Napa Valley, California in October 2020. Brie and her family moved to the southwestern state in spring 2019, while Nikki and Artem joined them in May 2020 in a home next door. However, Nikki put her house on the market in August 2020 and Brie followed suit two months later in October.
Despite catching fans off-guard, the move made sense to the Bella clan. “I feel like everyone’s like, ‘Duh, of course they did,'” Brie said of the public’s reaction to their relocation on an October episode of “The Bellas Podcast” with Nikki. “You know, my sister and I have always loved Napa Valley. We have a wine here. We’re always here.”
Now that they’ve relocated and expanded their broods, it’s clear these two sisters are settling into family life — and it’s amazing to see the women they’ve grown into.
