“Artem is on Dancing With the Stars and that has left me alone with Matteo and because of COVID, I don’t have any help. It’s just me,” Nikki revealed.

Nikki did add that she does get a “little help” from twin sister Brie Bella and husband Daniel Bryan, who just also welcomed their own son, Buddy, a few weeks ago.

“They’ve been amazing,” Nikki added.

Nikki and her fiance, Artem Chigvintsev, welcomed their newborn baby boy on July 31 and they’re now revealing his name!

Nikki took to Instagram to introduce her newborn baby boy, captioning the photo, “Matteo Artemovich Chigvintsev 💙 7/31/2020 💙 7 lbs 3 oz 💙 19 3/4 in.” She and Artem welcomed their son one day before Nikki‘s twin sister welcomed her newborn, Buddy Dessert, she revealed to People.

“Artem and I were so not prepared,” Nikki said of her son’s birth “We barely had bags packed. I labored for 22 hours, and I pushed for two hours while wearing a mask because of COVID-19. It was 118 degrees in Phoenix, and our room wouldn’t get colder than 76 degrees, so I was burning hot the whole time. I had two more rounds of pushing [to go] until my doctor said, ‘You’re going to have to have a c-section.’ I said, ‘No, he’s coming out vaginally.’ ”

“I looked at Artem [who was allowed in the room with a mask], and I go, ‘Put on the Lumineers!’ And literally we ‘Hey Ho’-ed and ‘-Ophelia’-ed Matteo into this world,” she said. “I have never pushed so hard in my life. I almost tore off the handlebars!”

If you missed it, Artem spoke out about what it is like being a new father! Artem recently got some really big, exciting news.

Artem Chigvintsev is opening up about his new baby boy with fiance Nikki Bella.

During his Good Morning America interview this morning, where it was announced that he’d be returning to Dancing With The Stars, the 38-year-old dancer revealed how being a new father was going.

“It has been the most incredible feeling and Nicole and I are just obsessed. I just didn’t know that I could have so much love to give. It’s just incredible,” Artem shared, adding that their son, “literally owns us.”

He also joked about being sleep deprived.

“What sleep? Do people really sleep?” he said. “I really feel bad for Nicole, because he’s a really good eater. So he’s been on it.”

Artem and Nikki‘s son was born in July, just a day after Nikki‘s twin, Brie, also delivered her own baby boy. The couple haven’t announced his name yet.
