In March 2019, the Bella Twins announced on their E! reality show Total Bellas that they had retired from wrestling. Brie would share the news on the March 10 episode, while Nikki announced on the March 24 season finale. This meant their careers had ended without much fanfare following matches in 2018, twelve years after they’d initially trying out for WWE Diva Search. However, speaking to US Weekly, Nikki’s fiancé, Artem Chigvintsev, has revealed that both twins are in talks with WWE to wrestle again. Chigvintsev would add he believes they still have an unclosed chapter in their lives.

In January 2020, the Bella Twins announced they were pregnant concurrently and had due dates two weeks apart, but the births were actually only separated by 22 hours. Nikki gave birth to her first child Matteo on July 31, 2020, and Brie gave birth to her and husband Daniel Bryan’s second child Buddy on Aust 1, 2020.
The pair are next expected to appear for WWE at their Hall of Fame inductions during the lead-up to WrestleMania 37, and Chigvintsev’s divulgence means they may also be available to compete on the show.
