Nikki Bella And Artem Chigvintsev Share Their Engagement

There’s just something about the new year that makes couple want to get engaged, or in this case, share the news of an earlier engagement.

Nikki Bella announced on Friday that she’s ringing in the new year with a big rock. The Total Bellas star announced the news on Instagram, letting fans know that her boyfriend, former Dancing With the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev, actually popped the question two months ago!

“Excited for 2020 and the next decade with you @theartemc,” she wrote in the caption of her post. “I said yes in France in November! We have been trying to keep it a secret but really wanted to share our excitement for the New Year!”

Bella shared two photos, one from the night of the proposal–which featured the pair all dressed up in a room surrounded by roses and candles–and one with her showing off her diamond ring.

Chigvintsev ended up reposting those same photos, writing to his fiancée, “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. So excited for what’s to come I love you more then anything and thank you for saying Yes.”

The happy couple first met back in 2017 when Nikki was the dance professional’s partner on Season 25 of Dancing With the Stars. At the time, the former WWE star was still engaged to John Cena, but they split up in July 2018. Bella and Chigvintsev reportedly began dating in late 2018, but they didn’t go public until July of 2019.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
