Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev’s relationship has been through several ups and downs over the years. The couple first met in 2017 on the set of Dancing with the Stars when Nikki was still engaged to WWE legend John Cena. After her breakup with Cena in 2018, Nikki started dating Artem and they confirmed their relationship in early 2019.
In November 2019, Artem proposed to Nikki, and they got engaged. A few months later, Nikki announced that she was expecting their first child, who was born on July 31, 2020. Despite being engaged for over a year, Nikki and Artem didn’t tie the knot until August 2022.
However, their marriage faced challenges, leading to two postponed wedding dates and the couple seeking couples counseling. Things took a turn for the worse when Artem was arrested in Napa, California, on August 29, 2024, on charges of domestic abuse and corporal injury to a spouse. This incident prompted Nikki to file for divorce.
Recent reports indicate that Nikki has officially filed for divorce from Artem, with no plans to reconcile. Following Artem’s arrest, the couple has moved out of their marital home, with Nikki staying with her parents and Artem staying with a friend. While neither party has made an official statement about the status of their marriage, it seems likely that their relationship is coming to an end.
As the news of their divorce spreads, fans are left wondering about the future of Nikki and Artem’s relationship. Despite their once-strong connection, it appears that the couple’s differences have led them down separate paths. Only time will tell what lies ahead for the former WWE Superstar and her dancer husband.
