Nikki Bella Ordered to Pay $200,000 in Divorce Settlement

Nikki Bella, formerly known as Nikki Garcia, has finalized her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev, with court documents revealing a substantial financial settlement. As part of the agreement, Nikki will pay Artem $3,500 per month in child support for their son Matteo and cover all costs related to Matteo’s speech therapy, while extracurricular activity expenses will be split between them. Additionally, Nikki has agreed to pay Artem a lump sum total of $200,000, divided into two payments of $100,000 each, due by the end of the year. The divorce follows a domestic violence incident in August 2023, where Artem was arrested but later not charged due to insufficient evidence. Nikki retains control over her business ventures, including Stephanie Nicole Garcia Entertainment and the Bonita Bonita wine brand she co-owns with her sister Brie. The couple's relationship began after meeting on Dancing with the Stars in 2017, culminating in marriage in 2022 and divorce filing in 2024 due to irreconcilable differences.
