Artem Chigvintsev is “super excited” about becoming a first time father

Speaking during an appearance on the ‘Miraculous Mamas’ podcast, he said: “We spoke a few weeks ago. He’s super excited. He’s stressed, but I tell you that he’s going to be an amazing dad. He’s gonna be such a good dad because anything he does it’s like to a level of perfection, like perfection that you can’t even imagine. Everything’s gotta be perfect.”

Meanwhile, it was recently claimed the 38-year-old star is "madly in love" with Nikki, and it’s believed the pair “couldn't be happier" together as they prepare to start their lives as a family of three.

An insider said: "Artem treats Nikki like a queen. He's such a great guy and madly in love with her. She's his dream girl, and she is super sweet to him. Their friends love them as a couple. They both couldn't be happier to be welcoming their baby soon.”

The source also explained that Artem comes from a "super tight-knit loving family", and so welcoming the 36-year-old former wrestler into his life was a huge step.

They added: "They're a very close couple that doesn't have abrupt and sudden issues and they share a deep love for one another. Artem comes from a super tight-knit loving family and is extremely family-oriented. Nikki is part of that now and will always be a huge part of his life. He's extremely dedicated to her and in the past, it's been very rare for him to introduce a girlfriend to his family."
