Nikki Garcia Opens Up About Her Relationship with Artem Chigvintsev

Nikki Garcia, a former professional wrestler, revealed on her podcast that she had been putting on a happy face for her relationship with dancer Artem Chigvintsev. She admitted that she wanted him to get help and heal, especially for the sake of their son, Matteo. Garcia said that their marriage hadn't been great for a while, and she was trying to make it look better in public. She didn't want another failed public relationship, like her previous one with actor John Cena. Garcia started dating Chigvintsev in 2018 and married him four years later. However, things took a turn for the worse when Chigvintsev was arrested for domestic violence. Garcia filed for divorce and is now focused on healing and protecting her son. She doesn't regret how she handled the situation, saying she came at it with love. Her sister, Brie Garcia, supports her and is proud of how she's handling the situation privately.
