GetWidgetClass and GetUserWidgetObject returns null

I have declared UWidgetComponent in my header file like this:

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category="CellWidget")
	TSubclassOf<UWidgetComponent> CellWidgetComponent;

I would like to access my UCellWidget from this component but GetWidgetClass and GetUserWidgetObject return null.

UWidgetComponent* WidgetComponent = Cast<UWidgetComponent>(CellWidgetComponent->GetDefaultObject());
	
	if(WidgetComponent)
		UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("WidgetComponent is not null"));
	
	if(WidgetComponent->GetWidgetClass())
		UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("WidgetComponent->GetWidgetClass() is not null"));

	if(WidgetComponent->GetUserWidgetObject())
		UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("WidgetComponent->GetUserWidgetObject() is not null"));

    return Cast<UCellWidget>(WidgetComponent->GetUserWidgetObject());

What should I do to access my UCellWidget from this component?
