One perk that comes with Nikki being back on the market, Brie says, is that they get to scope out new men – especially at the Super Bowl.

“Last night, I was like, ‘Nicole, like, this is your first time being single at Super Bowl,’” Brie teases her sister. “Like, I already am thinking and listening.”

Nikki chimed in to say that she is “still healing,” and adds: “I feel like she’s more excited about it than me!
