WWE Star Nikki Garcia Praises Ex Artem Chigvintsev for Amicable Co-Parenting After Divorce

Nikki Garcia and her ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev have developed a cooperative co-parenting relationship despite their tumultuous breakup following his 2024 arrest on felony domestic violence charges, which were later dropped. Nikki praised Artem for being supportive and flexible with her WWE schedule, allowing her to spend significant time with their son Matteo, who is thriving amid the changing dynamics. Their divorce was finalized in 2025, with Nikki ordered to pay Artem spousal support and child support, marking a rare case where the woman pays alimony. Both Nikki and Artem were mandated to attend therapy and parenting classes, and they have worked hard to maintain a stable environment for their son. Nikki’s twin sister Brie also commended the former couple for adapting well and being a great team in co-parenting. Despite the past difficulties, Nikki expressed gratitude for the progress they have made in putting aside differences for Matteo's well-being.
