Nikki Garcia is opening up about her fresh start — both in the ring and at home.
After making her return to WWE, Nikki admitted she was initially nervous about how fans would react.
But ultimately, her passion won out.
“I have so much passion and love for this business and that’s why I was like, ‘I’m not gonna let people take away from how much fun I had out there and how I loved every second,’” Nikki shared.
And while she’s thriving professionally, she’s giving a lot of credit to her ex-husband, Artem Chigvintsev, for making it possible.
“I have to give it to Artem, who’s been amazing in adapting to my schedule,” Nikki said. “And I get Matteo almost more, and he lets me. Like, he’s amazing.”
Brie cosigned her twin’s perspective on the Nikki & Brie Show, telling her sister:
“You and Artem have been a great team.”
ICYMI: Nikki filed for divorce in September 2024 after Artem was arrested at their Napa Valley home on suspicion of domestic violence.
Their divorce was finalized in May 2025, with the WWE star ordered to pay Artem a $200,000 lump sum along with $3,500 in monthly child support.
Despite the turbulence, the couple has managed to turn things around for the sake of their son Matteo.
We love to see parents putting differences aside to create a happy, healthy, and loving environment in both homes!
