Nikki Garcia Details Growth Amid Artem Chigvintsev Divorce

Nikki Garcia is giving a peek into how she’s coping in the wake of her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev. 

The Total Bellas alum—who settled her divorce and mutually dropped the dual restraining order with the Dancing With the Stars pro last month—opened up about her journey to healing over the past few months.

“In our strongest moments, we definitely have, then, super weak moments,” Nikki said on the Dec. 15 episode of her The Nikki & Brie Show podcast, “and we just have to figure out how we get through that. What do we do, and who do we need to lean on, and what do we need to bring into our life and surround ourselves with, and what can feed our soul and make us strong?”

The WWE star then shared that those are the questions she has dedicated herself to lately, noting, “It truly helps.”

Nikki also explained how the past few months—which has included Artem’s August arrest on suspicion of felony domestic violence (for which he ultimately was not charged) and restraining order filings from both Nikki and Artem that alleging the other person was the aggressor—have prompted her to take account of her life.
