Nikki Bella admitted in a recent podcast that she offered her fiancé Artem Chigvintsev the chance to walk away from their relationship.

Bella got candid about her relationship with Chigvintsev. She admitted that she fell fast for him but since she's still "healing," she considered taking a break from their relationship. Bella revealed that she left the decision to Chigvintsev, if he would stay or not.

“There were certain things I was struggling with because I was still in the process of healing, but yet I was falling in love so fast with this man,” The “Total Bellas” star said on “The Bellas Podcast” on Wednesday (May 27).

“I had that conversation with Artem. I told him, ‘Look, I have good days and I have bad days and I am trying to heal, but I don’t want to lose you. But if you want to put up with what I’m going through and stay by my side, do it. But if you want to walk away and we come back to this relationship down the road, I 100% understand.’”

Chigvintsev decided to stay despite Bella’s tendencies to be indecisive. He understood what his fiancée was going through.

“Look, I know you’re going through stuff. You’re healing. I want to be here to support you,” Chigvintsev said, shares the former WWE Diva.

Bella and Chigvintsev are expecting their first child together. Bella acknowledged the former “Dancing With the Stars” pro as her rock. She also considered herself “lucky” to have someone like Chigvintsev in her life.

“I am such a lucky woman to have this incredible man in my life,” she said.

In April, Bella shared a makeup-free selfie with Chigvintsev while they were quarantining at home. She accompanied the photo with a lengthy caption where she shared all the changes she was going through during her pregnancy.

The star also encouraged people to appreciate their flaws, changes and age. Bella added that she didn’t care about the extra pounds she gained or the skin changes she went through. Whenever her baby kicks, it makes her smiles because she is reminded of the love she has within her.

Bella was previously engaged to John Cena. Just recently, many accused her of throwing shade at Cena in a now-deleted tweet, but Bella denied the allegations. According to her, she wasn’t talking about her ex-fiancé. Moreover, she had no reason to throw shade at him.
