Nikki Bella and John Cena were once the most popular pair in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and the fans loved to watch the pair together on the big stage.

Their sudden split-up came as a massive shock to the WWE Universe but according to reports, break-up with Cena has come as a blessing in disguise for Bella as revealed by a family member of the retired wrestler.

After parting ways from Cena, Bella started dating her former dance partner Artem Chigvinstev. Although the news received a major backlash from John Cena fans, Nikki has always been open about her new relationship with Chigvinstev.

In an interview with Radar Online, a close family member revealed Bella has "never been happier than she is right now" with her new boyfriend Artem. The source also admitted that Nikki’s close family members believe her relationship with Artem is a sign that her relationship with John was “not meant to be."

"Nikki is a very happy woman right now and it’s a blessing that her wedding to Cena never happened. She’s found her true happiness," the source continued.

Bella’s relatives reportedly have wished Cena good luck for the future and at the same time, the family member revealed that they were relieved the couple "didn’t go that far."

"It was good it ended before a wedding. She’s just blessed that it happened this way. When she does decide to marry, it’ll be a first, true wedding,” the source added.

Meanwhile, Cena has stepped away from WWE and has plunged in his acting career. The 42-year-old American has competed in only two fights this year. He has not appeared on WWE TV since the July 22 RAW Reunion special.

Cena, who has spent nearly two decades of his life in the WWE, is now gearing up for his upcoming movie, "Playing with Fire."
