Nikki Bella Wants 'Dancing With the Stars' Partner to Choreograph Her First Dance With Fiancé John Cena
Nikki Bella is joining Dancing With the Stars" season 25 with partner Artem Chigvintsev, but that does not mean she is forgetting her leading man.
The "Total Bellas" star has officially joined the dancing show's new installment airing next week. Speaking with E! News, Bella said she hopes Chigvintsev could teach her and Cena some moves they can use at their upcoming wedding.
"I for sure want to learn my first dance here," Bella gushed. "It wasn't the full motivation but the second I said yes I was like, 'Oh my gosh. I could totally learn my first dance!'" The pro wrestler went on to say that she plans on doing "something kind of pretty and cool" for their first dance as husband and wife.
Bella, 33, is still in the process of preparing her wedding with Cena, 40. Although her schedule will be much busier because of "Dancing With the Stars," the brunette beauty said she hopes to do some wedding planning done in between rehearsals.
She caught up with PEOPLE on Wednesday and said she already has a wedding dress and a planned wedding date. "Now I just have to do everything in between," the reality star stated. "At least I could work on my first dance. So that'll be another check off the list."
Last month, Bella confirmed that her wedding dress will be a Marchesa. Since Cena popped the question in front of fans during WrestleMania 33 in April, Bella has been spending most of her time planning for the big day. She is even organizing her own bachelorette party: a 10-day event in France with her closest female friends.
Bella will next be seen on "Dancing With the Stars" season 25, which premieres Monday, Sept. 18, at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC. She also appears on "Total Bellas," which airs every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. EDT on E! Network.
