Brie Garcia is getting some when she can.
When it comes to date nights with her husband Bryan Danielson—who she wed in 2014—the Total Bellas alum admitted that it has become increasingly difficult to find time for intimacy while raising kids Birdie Danielson, 7, and Buddy Danielson, 4.
“I feel like Bryan and I aren’t the types to be like, ‘Oh, on Wednesday,’” she told her twin sister Nikki Garcia and guest Jena Sims Koepka on an April 17 episode of SiriusXM’s Nikki & Brie Show. “But he and I will say—this is so funny—he and I are like, ‘We should probably have sex tonight because I go out of town tomorrow.’”
And sometimes, the rare opportunity to spend time together without the kids comes at rather unconventional times of day.
“Our daughter does a full day at school,” the 41-year-old explained, “but our son just started to go later in the day, so we finally did it. After workout, we felt it and it was spontaneous and nice and we were like, ‘Are we gonna start to be day sex people?’”
“The kids are gone and it felt spontaneous,” she added. “It felt like how it used to be. It was so nice.”
But even though moments of intimacy have felt fleeting over the past few years, Brie expressed that she wouldn’t change a thing. Indeed, raising her kids alongside Nikki’s 4-year-old son Matteo Chigvintsev—who she shares with ex Artem Chigvintsev—is one of the greatest joys in her life.
And to make the bonds between cousins even better, Matteo was born only one day before Brie’s youngest.
"Buddy and Matteo think they’re brothers,” Brie told E! News earlier this month. “But we’ve always felt like blood is thicker than water.”
“We couldn’t even imagine what we do without each other, let alone our family—they’re our foundation,” she continued. “Matteo—who’s an only child—doesn’t feel like an only child because he sees Birdie and Buddy all the time and they act like a whole unit. It’s great.”
For Nikki’s part, the reality star—who dated John Cena from 2012 to 2018—cherishes even the smallest moments their little ones get to spend together.
“We were on the playground the other day and Brie and I were sitting watching them,” Nikki recalled at the time, “and Matteo, all of a sudden, puts his arm around Buddy and goes, ‘Buddy, I love you so much. Do you wanna hold my hand?’ It was just so sweet. It melted us.”

When the Mood Strikes…
There's no such thing as TMI for The Bella Twins.
Case in point: In March 2020, Nikki told The Bellas Podcast guest Vanessa Lachey all about how her sex life had changed since getting pregnant. Due to changing hormones and construction, the Belle Radici co-founder declared that her sexy time with Artem was "so on and off."
"Our sex life goes so on and off. And I don't know if it's me," Nikki said. "I will admit, last night it was the first time that I told him, 'Hey, can you massage my boobs?'" she detailed. "And then I pushed the hand lower and was like, 'Can you massage down there, too? Thanks.'"
A Different Kind of Happy Hour
Although Brie and Bryan are parents, that doesn't stop them from enjoying alone time.
"Bryan comes home Wednesday and we have sex around 8 p.m. So Wednesdays at 8 p.m., if you're having a cocktail, be like, 'Wow, Brie and Bryan are boning right now!'" Brie joked during an October 2019 episode of The Bellas Podcast.
Scheduled sex is still sex! Enjoy your alone time, you two.
Once You Go Dancer, You Never Go Back
During an October 2019 episode of The Bellas Podcast, Nikki boasted about her "amazing sex life" with love Artem.
"When they say dancers are the best, let me tell ya: Once you have a dancer, you don't go back. That's it," she gushed about the former Dancing with the Stars pro. "If he leaves me, I'm going to the ballet every night because that's that!"
She even revealed that the professional dancer "moves those hips" while naked.
Public Bathroom Sex
They did what, where?
In 2019, Brie and Nikki joined Access Hollywood's Sibley Scoles for a round of "Roller Coaster Confessions." While riding Jurassic World: The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood, the famous twins revealed the wildest place they've had sex.
And, surprisingly, they had similar answers.
"I would say a public bathroom on the sink," Nikki declared.
"Oh my gosh, I did a public bathroom one time too," Brie added.
The more you know!
Before They Were Official
Before defining their relationship, Nikki and Artem were enjoying each other's company both in and out of the bedroom. In fact, for an April 2019 episode of their podcast, Nikki shared that Artem was an "amazing lover" with "graceful legs."
Unfortunately, Artem's fit frame had Nikki feeling a bit self-conscious, especially about her thighs.
"And can you imagine when I'm on top? That I'm gonna save for a whole other episode. Thighs galore, girl," she added.
The Pull-Out Method
During a 2015 episode of Total Divas, Brie shocked Nikki with news that she and husband Bryan only use the "pull-out method" during sex.
"When you're married you do not use condoms, c'mon," Brie remarked during a grocery store outing. "Birth control is putting chemicals in your body, condoms—we are married—so Bryan and I do it the old fashion way…the pull-out method."
"You're joking me, right?" Nikki responded.
At the time, Nikki was merely concerned about what an unplanned baby would do to their careers.
Talk About a Trainwreck
It's no secret that Nikki Bella wasn't the biggest fan of ex John Cena's awkward bedroom scene in Amy Schumer's hit comedy, Trainwreck. However, in an episode of Total Bellas, the retired WWE superstar revealed that the sex scene had an affect on her libido.
"Imagine watching your man do a sex scene and have the whole world see his big butt," she said at the time. "You know you get visuals. I swear I couldn't masturbate forever because I just think of the sex scene."
Brie's "Sex Process"
During a 2016 episode of Total Bellas, Brie revealed how she arranges her bedroom to get herself and Bryan in the mood. Per the Total Bellas star, it's all about the candles!
"So…because…when…Bryan and I like to light candles," Brie teased to Nikki.
"Oh wait, are you going through your sex process with me right now?" Nikki asked. "This is not why I came in here by the way."
"I know but I'm showing you," Brie replied.
At another point in the episode, Bryan made it clear that he likes "candles" and "music" as it helps him relax.
