Nikki Bellahopes to remain friendly exes withJohn Cena.
Nikki, 35, opened up toPEOPLE Nowabout adjusting to her new single life following their public split last summer, revealing that she gives her ex-fiancé a heads up whenever she goes on a date with a new guy.
“I let him know everything,” she said. “He’s known every date I’ve been on.”
TheTotal Bellasstar said she keeps Cena in the loop out of respect, explaining that she would never want him to hear details of her personal life from anyone but herself.
And while Nikki admitted Cena doesn’t necessarily return the favor, she said she’s still on good terms with her ex.
“I have so much respect for him,” she said. “This breakup wasn’t bad, it didn’t end bad, we didn’t do bad things for each other. He’s still close with my family.”

“I had a beautiful and loving 6-year relationship with a wonderful man,” she added. “I have the utmost respect for John, but I know this is what’s best for me.”
