Nikki Bella can typically be seen looking glamorous on the red carpet or putting people in headlocks in the ring. And now, she can also be seen channeling her inner diva on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.”

Thanks to this mainstream exposure, people are wondering who she is, exactly.

Most people already know that she is the twin sister of Brie Bella and has wrestler turned actor John Cena by her side. But this “Total Divas” star has some secrets wrapped tightly in her wrestling Spanx.

We’re here to reveal some of them.

1 Nikki Bella is a country girl.

Nikki Bella grew up in Brawley, California and said that going to the rodeo was a regular outing for her and her family. She also told Kens 5 that she was beating up boys before she even got to the ring.

“I beat all the boys, I beat my sister, and I got this insane, big trophy,” she said. “I couldn’t even carry it out of the pen. I still live that one up. I rode the wild lamb the longest. It was so amazing. I’m a country girl at heart!”

Watch out, guys. If she can handle a wild lamb herself, she can definitely take a grown man on.

2 She was married before John Cena.

If you tuned into “Total Divas” on a regular basis, you would know that one of Nikki Bella’s main concerns was that John Cena was never going to marry her.

But even before that, she had married her high school sweetheart at the age of 20. According to Kens 5, she felt some serious cold feet as she walked down the aisle in Vegas, though. “Even when I started to walk down the aisle, I knew, ‘This was a huge mistake, how can I get out of this,’ but I couldn’t,” she admitted.

Thankfully, though, it worked out for her in the end. As far as her and John Cena go, Bella finally put her fears to rest when John Cena proposed to her at “WrestleMania 33.”

According to Cena, he got the epiphany to marry Bella when she had gone in for neck surgery.  “Right as they were wheeling you to the OR, you were glassy and in-and-out, and my last chance, the very last second, I said stop,” he said to Rolling Stone. “And I leaned in and I whispered, ‘Can you hear me?’ And you said, ‘Yes.’ And I said, ‘Well, I only have one question.’ You said, ‘What is it?’ I said, ‘Do you know one day I’m going to marry you?’ And you said, ‘Yes.’ I just need you to say, ‘Yes’ one more time.”

Too. Cute.

3 She said she’s okay with not having kids.

Some women dream of being mothers every single day of their lives and others are fine with not having little ones. Nikki Bella has stated that she has made peace with not being a mom, but still hopes that John Cena will change his mind later down the road.

“I actually respect that because that would be very hard to raise a kid on my own and the dad to always be gone and not see that kid,” she told PEOPLE. “When I see him with all the Make-a-Wish kids, I’m like, ‘Gosh, this man would be the most incredible father ever.’ He just loves those kids and he has such a big heart for them.”

4 John Cena wasn’t the first wrestler she dated.

Although many know her to be John Cena’s main lady, she also dated someone else in the wrestling ring. Dolph Ziggler and Nikki Bella were an item for two years.

5 Even though she dated other wrestlers, Nikki Bella’s Instagram says John Cena all the way.

Upon having cute pictures with her sister, Brie Bella, Nikki promotes everything that is John Cena on her Instagram. Talk about being in love.

And now, she’ll probably also be promoting “Dancing With the Stars” clips and promos. Here’s to hoping you stay on the show, Nikki! Keep on fighting.
