Nikki Garcia takes a trip down memory lane as she closes the chapter on her marriage to Artem Chigvintsev. The former wrestler shared pictures from her visit to her hometown of Brawley. After two years of marriage, Nikki finalized her divorce from Artem last month.
The WWE star intimated to her followers what she has been up to since becoming newly single. Nikki looked dashing in a brown ensemble as she posed alongside a city limit sign on the highway. The star was decked in matching brown leggings and a brown top with a brown face cap and nude sneakers. Her sister Brie Garcia was the perfect alibi on her trip as she flaunted her abs in a black number.
Nikki also visited Cattle Call Arena, Johnny’s Burritos, and the Sacred Heart Catholic School. At the end of the slides, the former wrestler grabbed a quick selfie with her relatives. Nikki and her family kept things cute in matching red, white, and green Christmas sweatshirts. The sisters posed with their grandmother, who embodied the festive season in a Christmas-themed sweater. Nikki summarized her whole trip and carousel of photos in a simple caption that read:
“Drummer Boy Brawley CA. It’s been 5 years since l’ve been back. Truly needed to be back surrounded by incredible childhood memories, family traditions and my B Town fam. There’s nothing like Drummer Boy weekend.”
Nikki’s post caused a frenzy among fans in the comments, who had multiple opinions to share. A fan stressed the importance of finding comfort at home “when the world is falling apart.” Brie co-signed her sister’s statement about having the “best time in B town.” One commenter gave Nikki a pro tip on where to stop for an “ice tea” on her visit. Another user urged the mom-of-one to never let anyone dim her lights amid her newfound freedom.
Nikki Garcia and Artem Chigvintsev Amicably Wrapped up Their Divorce Process
The former couple surprisingly reached a cordial agreement in their divorce. We reported that the couple attended mediation, eventually agreeing on divorce terms. Their shocking agreement displaced rumors and speculations of a messy process between the former couple. Although the details are under wraps, the couple will share custody of their son, Matteo. An inside source confirmed the ex-couple could not wait to finalize the process. They had reportedly gotten tired of the back and forth and simply wanted to move on. In the sources’ words:
“They both want to move on, in part because it was getting very expensive to pay lawyers…plus the whole process was becoming emotionally draining.”
While old wounds have refused to heal swiftly among the couple, Matteo’s well-being remains their priority. Nikki and Artem are also reportedly working on their differences to help them raise their son better. The parties also decided to drop their restraining orders against each other to enable healthy co-parenting. Nikki filed for divorce and secured a restraining order following a domestic dispute. Artem responded with a restraining order and accused his former wife of being the aggressor in the dispute.
The former couple began their romance in 2019 after meeting for the first time in 2017. Nikki and the dancer’s love story happened shortly after she breaking off her engagement to John Cena. They were paired together for the 25th season of Dancing With The Stars, where they displayed insane chemistry. By 2020, the couple had become engaged and welcomed their son. They tied the knot in a lavish wedding in Paris two years later, in 2022.
Nikki Garcia’s next chapter certainly looks bright. What will Artem Chigvintsev do next?
