Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Nikki Bella welcomed a little boy alongside fiancé Artem Chigvintsev of Dancing with the Stars fame two months ago.  While Matteo brought so much joy to the couple, the Total Bellas star revealed that she struggled with postpartum depression.

On the new The Bellas Podcast episode that aired Wednesday, she and sister Brie Bella discussed the “baby blues” that moms experience after birth.

When Nikki’s fiancé started filming Dancing with the Stars, the stress of packing up her house in Phoenix while filming Total Bellas led to a “massive breakdown.”

“I’ve always prided myself that I can fight a lot of things mentally. I’m very strong in that way,” the former pro wrestler confessed to her twin.  “Postpartum has knocked me on my [butt.] This is something that is way different.”

Bella, 36, admitted her breakdown was made worse by her refusing to ask for help, noting that her sister was the “first person who asked me in weeks ‘How are you doing?'”

“I was about to say, ‘Fine,’ and my lips started shaking and I burst into alligator tears. Like, I broke down,” Bella continued. “I wasn’t doing okay.”

She then explained that, after seeing her doctor, she was told new moms can become depressed seven weeks after childbirth, adding that her postpartum depression was a “dark, deep hole” that made her “feel invisible.”

Nikki confided to her fiancé shortly after, to which Chigvintsev told her how devastated he was that she “was feeling all these things” and didn’t tell him.

Bella says their heart to heart led to them improving their communication and making sure they were on the same page when caring for their son.

The Total Bellas stars then advocated for mothers grappling with postpartum depression to reach out and ask for help.

Nathan Congleton/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images via Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Gigi Hadid is getting an animated makeover to officially join the world of Scooby Doo on Thursday.  The supermodel will voice herself in a new episode of Scooby Doo and Guess Who?

Hadid, 25, leaked a promo of Thursday’s episode on her Instagram and had a hard time containing her excitement after seeing herself in animated form.

“IT’S ME & THE MYSTERY GANG !!!!!!?!!!!,” she excitedly captioned the video clip, noting that she’s counting down the minutes until the episode premieres “on any @Boomerangtoons streaming service.”

“Catch us solving a fashion mystery in Pariiii,” she teased.

The clip starts with the mystery gang roaming the streets of Paris as Scooby begins complaining about the nonstop ringing in his ears. 

As it turns out, a gargoyle had crept up on the gang and launched a surprise attack as they waited to ambush him in a bell tower, causing the gang to lose a lead.

So, Velma offers to call up “my friend who is great at deciphering clues” who is also working in the city.  

The rest of the Scooby Gang stares gobsmacked as Velma and Hadid share a secret handshake they learned while taking “a few criminal psychology courses together” and became “homework buddies” because they “clicked right away.”

Hadid isn’t the only celebrity sharing the spotlight alongside Velma, Fred, Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby this season.  

Other celebrities teaming up with the Scooby Gang in later episodes include Kacey Musgraves, Alex Trebek, Lucy Liu, Sean Astin, Jessica Biel, KISS, Macklemore, Morgan Freeman, Tara Lipinski and many others.

Hadid’s episode, called “A Moveable Mystery,” along with the rest of season two will be made available on the Boomerang app on Thursday.  CBR has the complete list of upcoming episodes and the celebrity guests appearing this season.
