Former wrestling star Nikki Garcia has finally spoken out about her divorce from Dancing With The Stars professional Artem Chigvintsev.
On August 29, Artem was charged with corporal injury to a spouse, and he was given a $25,000 bail. But after his arrest, he claimed that he was also a victim of domestic violence and that the former wrestler physically abused him. They were both granted restraining orders against each other, which were recently dropped.
They are hoping to co-parent their child peacefully.
“I’ve been heartbroken,” she said on a recent The Nikki & Brie Show podcast episode. “You dream of having this family and you have this incredible love, and it just goes the other way. You go from having a great love story to having a terrible one.”
The reality star says the split has been “really tough’ adding that she disconnected from social media after the incident so that she could focus on being a mother to their son.
