Who is Bella Rittenhouse?
Bella’s bio on X says she is a social media influencer. “Steadfast in every season,” her bio reads, accompanied by an American flag emoji.
Bella’s Instagram account has only one post as of now – a carousel of photos from her wedding with Kyle. “Allow me to reintroduce myself,” the post is captioned.
Kyle was accused of fatally shooting two people during an unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. A US jury found him not guilty of reckless and intentional homicide and other charges in 2021. Kyle claimed that he acted in self-defense on the night of the shootings.

"He has a huge sense of relief for what the jury did to him today. He wishes none of this would have ever happened, but as he said when he testified, he did not start this," Rittenhouse's defense attorney Mark Richards said after his acquittal. "To say that we're relieved would be a gross misunderstatement."
Meanwhile, the Kenosha County District Attorney's Office in a statement at the time, "While we are disappointed with the verdict, it must be respected. We are grateful to the members of the jury for their diligent and thoughtful deliberations. We ask that members of our community continue to express their opinions and feelings about this verdict in a civil and peaceful manner."
