Nikki Bella has filed for divorce from her husband, Artem Chigvintsev, following his arrest on August 29 for domestic violence. Bella is seeking legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old son, Matteo, but is not requesting to block Chigvintsev's visitation rights. The arrest occurred after Chigvintsev called 911 for medical assistance but later canceled the request; police arrived to find Bella with visible injuries. Chigvintsev was released on $25,000 bail. Bella has hired attorney Evan Craig Itzkowitz to represent her, and the case has been referred to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office for potential charges. Both parties have requested privacy during this time.
