Nikki Bella has always known that she’s wanted to be a mom. After her engagement to John Cena was broken off, she wasn’t sure when that would happen but little did she know — she would become a mom less than two years later!

The athlete welcomed a baby boy with Artem Chigvintsev on July 31. Although she was elated to be pregnant by the love of her life, she has been very open about how everything has moved so fast — from the relationship to the pregnancy.

Luckily, in true twin fashion, her sister Brie was pregnant at the same time and the two gave birth literally a day apart.

Brie was already the mom of a toddler girl so this isn’t her first time at the rodeo. Nikki is soaking up all the wise advice that her sister is giving her.

To make things even better, the twins live right next to each other!

‘Nikki has really been leaning on Brie and also her sister-in-law Lauren for baby advice. She texts or calls them a lot throughout the day asking questions but she’s really got everything down and is very calm,’ a source told Hollywood Life.

They went on to say that the former WWE champion is savoring this experience being a first-time mother

‘This time has been so emotional between the new baby, hormones and everything going on with her mom but Nikki is enjoying every single moment with the new baby.’

The Total Bellas star took to social media for the first time since giving birth to thank her fans for giving her time to herself.

‘Two weeks postpartum and I kicked @thebriebella butt playing @easportsufc live on @espn lol nothing like breastfeeding as you’re being counted down going live!  Thank you all so much for understanding my maternity leave. I have taken in every single second with our baby boy. And will continue to do so. I have never cried so many happy tears in my life. God truly has blessed me in the most amazing way ever! The love, goodness, it’s just indescribable. We shot something fun for you all today to introduce our baby boy  The Bella Boys I should say! Trust me it’ll be worth the wait! Love you all! And thank you all for your constant love, support and well wishes!! PS thank you @honeybeileen and @antestradahair for quarantining to glam us Bellas up! Love you both!’
