Former WWE superstar Nikki Bella’s marriage with Artem Chigvintsev has now taken a new turn.
A few weeks ago, ‘Dancing with the Stars’ name, Artem Chigvintsev was arrested in Napa, California over domestic violence charges. Now, his marriage with the WWE Hall of Famer Bella could be in its final stage.
As per recent reports, Nikki Bella has filed for a divorce against her husband Chigvintsev. Bella recently made her latest appearance at Netflix’s Joey Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef and was seen in good spirits, except she was missing her wedding ring.
The couple tied the knot in a lavish wedding in Paris in 2022, and share a son. Chigvintsev was arrested after the police noticed a visible injury on Bella, but was released later that day on a $25,000 bail.
Although, reports from TMZ claimed that the arrest was “shocking but not shocking”, another report noted that their marriage had been volatile long before the arrest. Verbal altercations had occurred in the past between the couple, but the physical fight only came to notice recently.
