Nikki Bella has had some pretty notable relationships over the years.

The longtime wrestling star and actress was married to "Dancing With the Stars" performer Artem Chigvintsev for three years. She previously dated wrestling legend John Cena for six years, before their engagement was called off. Bella has since been linked to NFL star Cooper DeJean.

While neither Bella nor DeJean publicly confirmed their relationship, they were spotted out on multiple occasions. Fans did the rest when it came to speculating about their relationship.

Bella, though, has opted against dating at the moment.

The wresting star told US Weekly that she's basically like a nun at this point. She's swearing off men for the moment.

"I'm pretty much like a nun at this point. Super celibate. I should just put on a ring," she admitted.

"I wish I was out there getting wild. I just don’t have energy for it."

Bella, though, is still holding out hope for the right man

Bella, though, admitted that she's probably not done dating for good. The longtime wrestling star is still hopeful that she will one day find the right man. It just might not happen anytime soon.

"I still keep my eyes open. There’s been some prospects," Bella admitted.

Bella has had some up and down relationships over the years, and while she's swearing off men at the moment, it sounds like she's hopeful that things could change heading into the future.

For now, though, she's enjoying a lot of time to herself. And there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's pretty healthy.
