Brie and Nikki Garcia, formerly known as The Bella Twins during their time with WWE, recently made an appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show, where they shared some interesting stories about their personal lives. The twins, who had a successful run with WWE for almost nine years, have been known for their identical looks and their signature move, “Twin Magic,” where they would switch places mid-match to gain an advantage over their opponents.
During their appearance on the show, the Garcia Twins revealed that they have used “Twin Magic” in their personal lives as well. Brie and Nikki spoke about taking advantage of their identical looks while growing up, revealing that it was harder to trick their teachers in school because of the close relationships they had with them. However, they found it possible to do so in college.
Nikki explained that when she was better at a subject, she would test for Brie, and they did this a few times where they tested for each other. They also shared that they would use “Twin Magic” if one of them was going to be late or miss class. But the most interesting story came when Brie shared how they did the switch for a date.
Brie revealed that she was once stuck in traffic in San Diego when a good-looking guy in a truck caught her attention and asked for her number. Not wanting to let the opportunity slip away, Brie decided to pretend to be Nikki and gave the guy her sister’s number. Later, when she returned to the dorms, she convinced Nikki to go on a date with the guy, who turned out to be super cute.
However, things got weird when Nikki decided to tell the guy the whole story, and he was left feeling weirded out. He asked, “Wait, so I met your sister first?” and Nikki had to explain that she had taken her sister’s place on the date. Needless to say, there was never a second date, and the twins decided that they would never do that again.
In college however, you don’t really have that intimate relationship with majority of your teachers. So when I was better at a subject, I would test for Brie. We did that a few times where we tested for each other.
So there’s this time when I was dating someone but I was in traffic in San Diego and there was this really good looking guy in a truck who was trying to get my attention and get my number,” Brie shared. “And in my head I was like, ‘I can’t let this guy go, so I’m just gonna be Nikki for a second.’ So I pretended I was her, gave him my number and then went back to the dorms and was like, ‘You have to go on a date with this guy, he’s super cute.'” Nikki shared that she did go on the date, but things got weird: “And I was like, ‘OK great,’ and I decided to tell him the whole story and he was weirded out,” she shared. “He was like, ‘Wait, so I met your sister first?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah my twin sister but it’s OK she’s dating someone so I took her place.’ And then there was never a second date. We were like, let’s not ever do that again.”
Apart from their interesting personal lives, Brie and Nikki have also been successful outside the ring, having starred in multiple reality shows including Total Divas and their Total Bellas spinoff. The twins were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2020, and their legacy as one of the most successful tag teams in women’s wrestling history will always be remembered.
