Early Life
Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace was born on November 21, 1983, in San Diego, California. Growing up on a farm near Scottsdale, Arizona, Nikki, along with her twin Brie, developed an early passion for soccer. However, her dreams of becoming a professional soccer player were cut short due to a severe leg injury.
After high school, Nikki attended Grossmont College in San Diego but left after a year to pursue a career in entertainment in Los Angeles. She worked as a waitress while seeking an agent and quickly found success in modeling, acting, and promotional work. Her early achievements included a reality TV appearance on "Meet My Folks" and a Budweiser commercial during the World Cup.
In 2006, Nikki and her sister participated in the "International Body Doubles" twins search and the WWE Diva Search, though neither yielded significant results.
Career
Nikki and Brie signed with WWE in 2007, introducing themselves as "The Bella Twins" in Florida Championship Wrestling. Nikki also competed in bikini contests during this time. Brie debuted on "Smackdown" in 2008, and Nikki soon followed, gaining fame for their tag team matches. Nikki won the Divas Championship from 2011 to 2012 and again in 2013, eventually becoming the longest-reigning Divas Champion. She retired in 2019 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020.
