The latest celebrity relationship news. Today, we bring you breaking news about the sudden split of a beloved dance floor couple that has stunned fans.
Nikki Garcia and Artem Chigvintsev’s Fairytale Comes to an End
In a surprising turn, Nikki Garcia (formerly known as Nikki Bella in her WWE days) has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Dancing With the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev. The news, confirmed by Us Weekly on September 11, has sent shockwaves through their fanbase.
A representative for Garcia released a statement to Us Weekly, saying, “Nikki Garcia has filed for divorce. She continues to ask for privacy for her and her family now.” This plea for privacy comes at a time when the couple is facing not just the end of their marriage but also severe allegations.
Troubling Incident Precedes Divorce Filing
The divorce filing comes on the heels of a disturbing incident in Napa, California. On August 29, Chigvintsev was arrested on a felony domestic violence charge. While initial reports didn’t specify Nikki Garcia involvement, a 911 dispatch recording obtained by TMZ revealed Chigvintsev accusing Garcia of throwing shoes at him during the altercation.
This incident occurred just days after the couple celebrated their second wedding anniversary. In a cruel twist of irony, both Nikki Garcia and Chigvintsev shared loving messages on social media to commemorate the occasion, giving no public indication of the troubles ahead.
Whirlwind Romance Cut Short
Garcia and Chigvintsev’s love story began in 2017 when they were partnered on Dancing With the Stars. At the time, Nikki Garcia was still engaged to John Cena. After her split from Cena in 2018, Nikki Garcia and Chigvintsev began dating.
Their relationship moved quickly. An engagement was announced in January 2020, followed shortly by news of Nikki Garcia pregnancy. The couple welcomed their son, Matteo, in July 2020 and tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in France in 2022.
As news of the divorce filing spreads, fans are left wondering about the future for both Nikki Garcia and Chigvintsev, especially concerning their young son, Matteo. The allegations of domestic violence add a layer of complexity to what is already a difficult situation.
While the couple has requested privacy during this challenging time, the high-profile nature of their relationship and the severe nature of the allegations ensure that this story will continue to develop.
