    Nikki Bella is conflicted about having another baby or returning to wrestling

    The 37-year-old star and her fiancé Artem Chigvintsev welcomed son Matteo into the world last July admitted she has been "thinking" about expanding her family but she isn't sure she has enough "time" to fit in everything she wants, personally and professionally, because she's also keen to make a bid to get to back into the WWE


    She said: "The thing is, I want to get back in the wrestling ring. There’s so many things I want to do, and I feel bad. … I just don’t think I have time.”

    The 'Total Bellas' star admitted it has been a "battle" for her to decide whether or not to have another baby because although she'd rather wait a little while, she concerned about her advancing age.

    She told Us Weekly magazine: “I have such a battle in my head, because I would want to wait and then I’m like, ‘OK, so I’m closer to 40. How’s that going to be?’ And then I’m like, ‘No, no, no. I’m just going to have Matteo.

    “But it’s like, now that I have Matteo, I want to give him a sibling because when we see [my sister Brie Bella’s son] Buddy, and Buddy and [his sister] Birdie, I’m like, ‘Oh, no matter what, he’ll always be a sibling.’

    “It just makes me feel bad that when he goes to bed at night though, he’ll always be by himself. "

    And Nikki admitted Artem is keen for them to have another child.

    She added: "So, Artem — he wants one. If I could have a girl up here … he’d be in heaven.”

    If the couple do decide to go ahead and have a second child, the brunette beauty thinks she would have a more relaxed experience.

    She said: “I feel like I’d be prepped differently and emotionally, I would be different.

    “I think I was so afraid of Matteo or anyone touching him, or this or that. I would be different right from the beginning, for sure.”
