Christmas Eve

Bella and her husband-to-be marked Christmas Eve with some stunning family photos, which showed the Total Bellas star dressed in a red gown and walking the rows of a vineyard with Chigvintsev, clad in a navy suit, and Matteo, sporting plaid overalls in his dad’s arms. “Santa Baby… been an awful good girl… so hurry down the chimney tonight…” Bella captioned the photos. “Merry Christmas Eve!!”

First Christmas

On Christmas morning, Bella checked in with her followers to wish them a merry Christmas with the help of her baby boy, showing off their matching Star Wars-themed holiday PJs. The new mom explained that while Chigvintsev is the big Star Wars fan in their family, the men’s matching pajamas were sold out, so they had to purchase him a different pattern to fit in. “Happy birthday, Jesus!” Bella added. 

Merry Christmas

Basking in the glow of Santa’s big day, Chigvintsev decided to show off Matteo’s sick moves, sharing a TikTok of his son’s fancy footwork set to “Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer. “Our little dancer,” the pro captioned the hilarious video.

‘My Russian Bear’

Matteo looked particularly adorable outfit in a new Christmas outfit, which featured a fuzzy bear hat and matching furry paw slippers. Posing with his father for a photo, Bella wrote of her fiancé and son, “My Russian Love & My Russian Bear.”
