A Legal Fight Is Allegedly Brewing Between DWTS Artem Chigvintsev And WWE Vet Nikki Garcia After Both File For Divorce

As a seasoned gamer and follower of celebrity news, I can’t help but feel a sense of disillusionment when witnessing yet another high-profile couple’s relationship crumbling before our eyes. The latest drama between Nikki Garcia (or Bella) and Artem Chigvintsev is a rollercoaster ride that’s hard to ignore, filled with twists and turns that would put any video game narrative to shame.


News about Nikki Garcia, former WWE star, and Artem Chigvintsev, ex-Dancing with the Stars contestant, have been making waves following Chigvintsev’s domestic assault arrest. Speculations have circulated regarding their marital status, leading to reports that they had been living apart. Recently, a significant development came up as Garcia officially filed for divorce, and now, Chigvintsev has done the same. It is said that a potential legal dispute between the two might ensue based on their filings.

40-year-old Nikki Garcia (formerly known as Bella) submitted a petition on Wednesday, and it was disclosed in legal records that she put forward two specific demands. One request sought full legal and physical custody of her 4-year-old son, Matteo, while the other requested that the court not grant spousal support. However, these demands contradict those made by her estranged husband’s filing, which emerged towards the end of the week.

As a devoted fan, I’ve learned that Artem Chigvintsev, who turns 43 this year, is aiming for joint custody – both physical and legal – of their son Matteo. Moreover, there are rumors suggesting he’s seeking spousal support from his soon-to-be-ex-wife in the divorce settlement. TMZ hints that these contrasting court requests might lead to a stir or controversy during the divorce proceedings.

Mr. Chigvintsev argues that he might have been married from August 26, 2022, to January 19, 2023, although this could potentially cause disputes. In essence, he believes they got legally married in France in August 2022, but according to court documents, the wedding actually took place in the United States in 2023.

Regarding the legal technicalities, the ex-spouses’ documents suggest a common ground in two aspects. Firstly, they both cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for ending their marriage. Secondly, they stated that their separation occurred on August 29 – a date that coincidentally marks the arrest of the Russian dancer. At this point, neither of the celebrities has publicly addressed this issue.

Artem Chigvintsev was apprehended due to allegations of domestic violence in Napa County, California. Reports claim he was detained at the scene and injuries were sustained. Later, Chigvintsev was freed on a $25,000 bond, while Nikki Bella requested seclusion as they address this issue together. Shortly after, Cheryl Burke, who collaborated with Chigvintsev for years on DWTS, shared her surprise over the news and wished wellness for everyone involved.
