“Sometimes we have a door shut and we don’t understand why, but honestly there is always a reason. I have been through that. And not through that just as a break up but through that professionally and personally,” she added, referencing her July 2018 split from fiancé John Cena after six years together. “And when those other doors open they open SO big! Believe in God, the Universe, our Angels and so much greater beyond what we can see. Believe that happiness lies beyond dollar signs. As long as we have each other, health, happiness and love they can’t cheat us, use us or cause us harm. I love you all! I love your support! Your follow! Your positivity! And thank you for sharing it with someone who means SO much to me.”

A source told Us Weekly exclusively in January that the pair, who were partnered on season 25 of DWTS in 2017, had been seeing each other “for a while.”

But even as their romance quickly heated up, Bella was reluctant to put a label on their relationship. Finally, more than six months after they started dating, she announced on her “Bellas Podcast” that they were making things official.

“We’re boyfriend and girlfriend,” she said, with the dancer adding, “We’re in a relationship!”

The pair also shared the news on YouTube with a passionate video that showed them dancing to Rita Ora’s song “Let You Love Me.”
