Natalya revealed that her first dream purchase with her WWE paycheck was a house for her parents. She also explained why it was so important to her to do so.
In an interview on The Joe Vulpis Podcast, Natalya said her very first purchase was a Louis Vuitton purse she bought with her friend Beth Phoenix.
“We both were so excited to go on this little Louis Vuitton shopping trip, and we both — like, I remember it wasn’t even that expensive. It was like $1,000 a purse. It was like a ‘we made it’ kind of moment.”
But for Natalya, her real dream purchase went far beyond luxury items.
“But my first big purchase like big purchase goal, always was my goal: I wanted to buy my mom and dad a house. And that was the big thing for me. That was a really big thing for me. TJ bought his mom a house, and I bought my parents a house, and it was a dream for us always.”
She made that dream come true just a year before her father, Jim Neidhart, passed away.
“I was so excited about them having it. I wanted to furnish it all, I wanted it to be perfect for them. But my dad, in his old house, had these little ducks in his backyard, in this pond. My dad had built this relationship with these ducks and loved going out and seeing them every day.”

“He was going through a lot physically and mentally. And he just, every single day, looked forward to seeing those baby ducks,” Natalya recalled. “So when I bought my mom and dad the new house, I remember my dad being a little bit sad about the house. And I was like, ‘Daddy, why are you sad? This is a brand-new house. This is such a good start for you and Mommy.’
“And my dad said, ‘I know, I love the house, but I’m just going to miss my ducks so much.’ And I just remember that’s just how cute my dad was. He was so appreciative of the house, but he loved his little ducks. And I was like, ‘We’ll go back and see the ducks,’” she added. “We never got the ducks [at the new house]. But my dad, I just miss him so much.”
