“I didn’t even make it to the six-week point, I just started at five,” the former professional wrestler, 36, said on the Wednesday, September 23, episode of the “Total Bellas Podcast” with her twin sister, Brie Bella. “I was like, ‘I’m healed, I’m fine.’ Even though last night it didn’t seem fine, but that’s OK.

Nikki and the Dancing With the Stars pro have been loving life with Matteo since their infant’s arrival. “I was sobbing, like, so bad,” the Russian dancer recalled last month of Matteo’s July birth. “Like, I don’t think people have seen a man sobbing like that. It was awful, but in the most joyful way.”

As for Nikki, the California native said that giving birth was “the most incredible feeling ever” after a 22-hour labor in a podcast episode earlier this month. She called the experience as “the hardest workout I’ve ever done in my entire life.”
