Nikki Bella is enjoying taking time off to spend with her newborn son.

As the mom of one faced off in the EA Sports UFC Virtual Fight Card showdown against twin sister Brie Bella — who welcomed her second child, a son with husband Daniel Bryan — Nikki reflected on the joys of being a new mom.

“Two weeks postpartum and I kicked @thebriebella butt playing @easportsufc live on @espn,” she wrote on Instagram Friday. “Lol nothing like breastfeeding as you’re being counted down going live!”

"And @artemchigvintse is the best Dad! Our baby boy is so lucky. I didn't think I could love him even more... but goodness I fell more in love with him the past few days. I feel so blessed. Can't wait for the day to officially makes us a family," Bella said in a loving message to fiancé Artem Chigvintsev.
