The 'Total Bellas' star split from the 41-year-old wrestler earlier this year, just weeks before they were due to get married, and though she's subsequently insisted they are still good friends, she's now admitted they haven't been in contact recently.

Asked if she's spoken to John recently, she said: "He's doing him and I'm doing me.

"I slowly feel like I'm doing that. I think it's happiness, and just fully being happy and that's what I want."

The 34-year-old wrestler - who briefly reunited with John after calling off the wedding - is finding it "scary" trying to find herself, but she's enjoying pushing herself to do new things.

She added to E! News: "I just feel like I'm at that age where I'm discovering who I really am and what I want out of life and just, like, independence.

"Is it scary and you do have these moments of like, 'What am I doing?' - and fear. I just kind of am liking the challenge."

Nikki is too busy focusing on herself to think about dating again at the moment.

She said: "I made a joke about dating, Netflix and black licorice and how it gets boring and it turned into this whole thing where I got quoted saying dating life is boring.

"I was like, 'No I said Netflix and black licorice and [was boring]'... it's not what people expect, but I've got to admit I am single but I'm not ready for mingling yet."

Though she hasn't been in touch with John recently, Nikki claimed last week they still share a special "connection" and are close friends.

She said: "We are [the best of friends] I think it's when you have an amazing connection with someone and you just stay friends."
