WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev have finalized their divorce. The news of the couple splitting broke out last year in August, when a domestic violence call came from their home. According to multiple sources, Chigvintsev was arrested and charged that day with corporal injury to a spouse. He was later released on $25,000 bail.
A settlement has now been reached between the two. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Garcia will pay Chigvintsev $200,000 by the end of the year. In addition, the judge ordered her to pay $3,500 per month in child support for their son, Matteo. The WWE Hall of Famer will retain control of her trusts, which include her own entertainment company, Stephanie Nicole Garcia Entertainment.
She will also walk away with Bonita Bonita, the wine brand she owns with her sister, Brie Garcia. Speaking about her recent WWE journey, Garcia returned at the Royal Rumble PLE in the number 30 spot in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Although she eliminated Bayley and was one of the final four survivors, she was eventually eliminated by Nia Jax.
The former Divas Champion recently hinted at appearing at the Evolution 2 event. Her surprise entry at the Royal Rumble shocked many fans, and it’s safe to say they will be just as excited when she makes her return at Evolution 2. Only time will tell whether she wins another title or not.
