Former WWE Divas Champion and Hall of Famer Nikki Garcia (FKA Nikki Bella) is currently going through a challenging phase in her personal life. She has been in the headlines for the past few weeks.
On August 29, 2024, Nikki Bella's husband, Artem Chigvintsev, was arrested for alleged domestic violence. As per reports, he was released the same day posting a $25,000 bail. According to TMZ, the former WWE Superstar filed for divorce on September 11, 2024.
Nikki Bella's twin sister, Brie Garcia (FKA Brie Bella), who also competed in WWE, reportedly reacted to controversy. As per a report by Daily Mail, an insider close to Brie revealed that she is "disgusted, shocked, disappointed, and sad" how things took a totally different turn.
Brie reportedly likes Artem and witnessing things going down like this was disappointing and unexpected to her. She is concerned about the whole situation and apparently said she is with her sister at all costs.
The report also noted that Brie Garcia told Nikki to leave Artem Chigvintsev if things are as bad as it seems and once she finds out everything she will be the first one to ask her sister to leave Artem.
Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev spotted together for the first time after controversy
As per reports, after getting released, Artem Chigvintsev was living with a friend away from his Napa Valley residence where he used to live with wife Nikki Bella, and his son Matteo.
Recently, TMZ released a picture where Nikki and Artem were spotted together for the first time since the latter's arrest. Although exes met to spend some quality time with their four-year-old son, the report claims the former WWE Superstar kept her distance from her soon-to-be ex-husband.
When Artem Chigvintsev arrived at Napa Valley residence to meet his son Matteo, reports suggest, Nikki Bella was seen standing outside the house keeping her distance while The 42-year-old met his son.
Nikki and Artem met in 2017 at the 25th season of Dancing with the Stars, where they were paired to perform together. Shortly after the show, Bella, who was engaged to WWE superstar John Cena, announced her break-up.
In 2019, she publicly confessed that she was dating Artem on an episode of her podcast with her sister. In 2020, they welcomed their son, Matteo, and got engaged. Two years later in August 2022, the couple tied the knot in a fairytale wedding in Paris.
