Nikki Bella makes a statement after an update breaks; sends a message - Reports

In a report by TMZ, it appears that Nikki Bella's marriage is over, and her divorce has been settled. The ex-WWE star has sent a message through a statement now.

Nikki Bella (aka Nikki Garcia) and Artem Chigvintsev filed for divorce following Artem's arrest for alleged domestic violence earlier in August. No criminal charges were filed against him for the same. The settlement of the divorce came two weeks before the trial for the same was about to begin.

According to the report, the two wanted to get the divorce over with so that they could move on in their lives without each other. They apparently wished to settle their divorce easily as they realized that it was getting costly to pay the lawyers and that the process was very "emotionally draining." The divorce has now been reportedly settled.

Nikki Bella made a statement about the situation through a representative.

"Nikki’s number one priority has always been her son and privacy on the matter. She is thankful for all of the love and support she has received during this difficult time."

The exact terms of the divorce are not clear at this time, but the two are going to share custody of their 4-year-old son, Matteo. It should be noted that Artem was also looking to seek spousal support from Bella, but she had checked the box to block the court's ability to award spousal support. It's not certain how things played out there.
