WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella has broken her silence following her husband Artem Chigvintsev’s arrest on the charges of domestic battery and has recently filed for divorce, which has revealed an intriguing detail unknown to the public.
In a report by People, the court documents filed on September 11, 2024, reveal that Nikki and Artem’s legal marriage didn’t occur until January 2023, even though they held their wedding ceremony in Paris in August 2022. As for spousal support, Nikki has asked the court to block any potential requests from either party.
Moreover, the documents also stated that Nikki is seeking legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old son, Matteo. The divorce filing came after an incident on August 29, when Artem was arrested for felony corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant. This date is also listed as the couple’s official separation date.
The arrest that led to this filing began when Artem initially called 911 for medical assistance but cancelled the request shortly after. Despite this, authorities arrived and took him into custody. Although no formal charges have been filed yet, the case has been handed over to prosecutors.
Nikki’s decision to file for divorce was reportedly not a surprise, as she had been spotted without her wedding ring and was actively seeking legal representation before officially filing. The couple’s future remains uncertain as the legal proceedings move forward, and this intriguing detail about their marriage is also coming to light.
Moreover, Bella’s filing has garnered attention, with fans wondering whether the relationship is truly over or if there is any chance of reconciliation. For now, it seems the divorce process is moving forward.
