“I met Artem’s parents,” Bella, 36, said on “The Bellas” podcast. “First of all, it was the first time Artem saw his parents in five years and his brother — so, he was so nervous and excited and emotional. It started to make me feel all these things.”

“But, I’m not gonna lie, I was really nervous,” she continued, revealing that she was adamant about giving them “an amazing first impression.”

Her first meeting with her man’s parents ended up being a family reunion, which she says resulted in everyone getting “emotional” and crying. “It was really cute,” she admitted.

Bella also explained that Chigvintsev’s family is Russian and speaks no English, so initially, she was unsure how they would communicate. In the end, however, they “made it work,” she said.

“I loved it, they’re the sweetest people in the world," she added. "It’s crazy when you’re put in the situation where you have a language barrier and you’re forced to communicate without speaking. But overall, Artem’s parents did say they liked me a lot, which is amazing.”
