Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev did not get hitched ... despite what you may have heard on a morning talk show.
Here's the deal ... "Good Morning America" referred to Nikki as Artem's "wife" in a promo clip announcing his return to "Dancing with the Stars." Fans quickly caught on, with lots of folks under the false impression they got married on the low.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Nikki and Artem are NOT legally married and it was just a funny accident on 'GMA.'
Our sources say Nikki and Artem both still want to get married, but they don't have a date for the wedding due to coronavirus restrictions.
