Nikki Bella Admits Thirst Traps Are the Only Time She Gets Attention

Nikki Bella is keeping it real about her post‑divorce confidence—and she’s not sugarcoating why she’s been dropping more thirst traps on social media. On the latest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, the WWE Hall of Famer opened up about her mindset since becoming single again, admitting she’s embracing the freedom and the fun that come with it.

During the conversation, Nikki explained that posting thirst‑trap photos isn’t about pretending to be mysterious or sending coded messages—it’s simply her way of getting a little attention during a time in her life where she’s not talking or texting anyone romantically.

“I'm all about thirst traps lately. I love thirst traps now because I need attention at times, and that's the only time I get attention since I don't text with anyone or do any of that stuff, so that's where it feeds me. So sometimes your girl needs to post a thirst trap to feel a little something. At least I can admit it!”

Nikki made it clear that she’s not ashamed of it. Instead, she’s owning the fact that sometimes a good selfie, a flattering angle, or a bikini photo can give her the boost she wants. And unlike most people who try to pretend their posts have a deeper meaning, she’s fully honest about enjoying the attention when she feels like it.

Since divorcing Artem Chigvintsev last year, Nikki has stepped into a more independent era of her life, choosing what makes her feel good without worrying about outside judgment. Whether her photos are playful, sexy, or just for fun, she’s in full control—and she’s not afraid to admit exactly why she posts them.

Nikki Bella is leaning into confidence, honesty, and a little bit of self‑care through social-media expression. And for her, owning that truth is part of the empowerment she’s embracing in her new chapter.
