Nikki Bella wants to prioritise “self-care” in 2021.
Nikki Bella
The 37-year-old retired professional wrestler has shared her New Year’s Resolutions for the next 12 months, and has said she particularly wants to work on her mental health and make more time for herself, especially after welcoming her first child - a son named Matteo, whom she has with her fiancé Artem Chigvintsev - in July.
She said: “Self-care is definitely one. I feel like every new mom or a mom with a baby relates to that. It's all about your baby first and you just don't care about you. It is crazy.”
Currently, Nikki is so preoccupied with being a new mother that she doesn’t have time for “grooming”, and so would like to make more time for herself this year.
She added: “I’m like, oh my gosh, I am not caring about myself. I look at my hairy legs - and guys, I've talked about grooming my girl down there; Like, she is full bush.
“Self-care, it has gone so out the door. Sometimes I'll just slap on some breast milk on my face. Like, I don't need to wash it, right? Anything that pops up, it'll kill?”
And the ‘Total Bellas’ star says she and Artem have already started putting plans in place to take better care of themselves, as they now have three hours each to themselves every day to do things like exercise, journal, and meditate.
Nikki explained during Wednesday’s (06.01.21) episode of the ‘Bellas Podcast’: "So then we know like, 'Okay, no matter what, I have to watch Matteo from this time to this time because Artem has his time,' and vice versa. And honestly, I really miss working out … I have done something athletic since I've been a very little kid. And this is the longest ever in my life that I have not done like a workout workout. Yeah, I walk, but I feel so not me and out of shape. And I don't like that feeling."
