Continuing, Nikki said\u00a0she doesn&#8217;t &#8220;want to sit in the memories.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And so she didn&#8217;t. An hour after pulling up\u00a0to the house, Nikki was back in the car. &#8220;I&#8217;ll definitely miss it,&#8221; she said, adding that moving out\u00a0was &#8220;the toughest&#8221; post-breakup hurdle she had to grapple with, mostly because it finally felt like closure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that&#8217;s the hardest part,&#8221; she explained during a particularly emotional confessional interview. &#8220;When you just\u2026you move out and you shut that door and you give someone your keys. It shuts the door to your heart, to that love and to the memories.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But letting go of her previous address for good felt like a necessary step toward moving on. &#8220;It&#8217;s been almost a year of just, like, not being in a good place,&#8221;\u00a0Nikki said. &#8220;And I just want to be a happy person again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"video-int-txt-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"40.434236947791\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-video-text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"26.350401606426\">\n<p>Plus\u2014as the saying goes\u2014when one door closes, another swings open.

Brie, who&#8217;d recently moved her family out to SoCal to be closer to Nikki, was less than thrilled about her sister&#8217;s plans to relocate. (Brie&#8217;s husband <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/daniel_bryan\">Daniel Bryan<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/shows\/total_bellas\/news\/1003520\/daniel-bryan-is-not-happy-about-nikki-bella-s-plans-to-move-to-l-a-see-his-reaction\" target=\"_blank\">wasn&#8217;t too happy about it<\/a> either.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like it&#8217;s &#8217;cause you&#8217;re running away from your problems,&#8221; Brie told Nikki later, after a subsequent house-hunting excursion near Santa Monica quickly devolved into a full-blown sisterly feud. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not just moving here because of my ex,&#8221; Nikki insisted, after having already explained that she&#8217;s &#8220;more sad in San Diego&#8221; (where she and John <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/au\/shows\/total_bellas\/videos\/273716\/john-cena-nikki-bella-s-house-is-monolithic\" target=\"_blank\">also shared a home<\/a>) than she is in L.A.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s exactly what it is,&#8221; Brie countered. &#8220;You don&#8217;t realize it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"video-int-txt-5\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"38\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-video-text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"16\">\n<p>Despite her sister&#8217;s concerns, Nikki\u00a0went ahead and found a house.<\/p>\n<p>When\u00a0her real estate agent called to tell her the good news, she was totally over the moon. &#8220;I&#8217;m just on such a high of getting the house that I wanted,&#8221; Nikki gushed. &#8220;It starts something new for me. It&#8217;s like the foundation of this new journey that I want to be on. I don&#8217;t even have the words right now because I&#8217;m so excited.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brie&#8217;s approval came later. A joint comeback opportunity and a couple of drinks at their sister-in-law&#8217;s baby shower had the twins feeling all kinds of emotional, and Nikki admitted she felt bad for springing the move on her sister so abruptly. She also acknowledged that <em>maybe<\/em> she should&#8217;ve involved Brie a little bit more in her decision-making process.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-7\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"60.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"11\">\n<p>&#8220;But I feel like that L.A. move was the first time that I put me first.
