Nikki Bella is setting the record straight about her role as a mother after receiving a comment questioning how often she sees her son, Matteo. The former WWE star took to Instagram to shut down the speculation and defend her parenting, making it clear that just because she keeps her child’s life private does not mean she is absent.

The comment came from a fan asking if her son ever sees her. Bella was quick to clap back with a firm reminder that such questions are rarely aimed at fathers, pointing out a double standard she is tired of facing.

“Wonder if you write that to Dads? And yes, he was with me 🙂 All week. Just because I don’t post him all the time doesn’t mean he isn’t with me. I try to keep as much as I can private for his sake. Thank you.”

Bella went on to provide more context, explaining that Matteo is with her most of the time when she is not traveling for work. She emphasized that her social media presence is not a reflection of her time spent with her son, and urged people to stop making assumptions based on what is or is not posted online.

“So for all to see, my son is with me a lot. Majority of the week when I’m home. Every Tuesday when I land, I drive straight to get him. And drop off on Sundays when I leave. Sometimes I am gone longer, and his dad and I have a great co-parent system. He understands how much he needs his mommy.

I just choose not to post him all the time to protect his privacy. I wish it could be protected more. I understand sharing certain moments every now and then, but not all the time. So please, no more comments like this. Maybe I shouldn’t have responded, but I was triggered because a small group of you think if your kid isn’t posted all the time, he isn’t with you.”

Since her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev last year, Nikki Bella has remained focused on co-parenting Matteo and creating a healthy, stable environment for him.
