The source goes on to explain that John has moved on with his own relationship. “He feels like everything happened the way it was supposed too. They both have the life they wanted,” the insider says of John and Nikki. “He is very happy that she is happy, it’s a beautiful moment for her and he is excited for her and everyone.”
