Once known for dominating the ring, Nikki Garcia (formerly known as Nikki Bella) may have hung up her wrestling boots, but the hits keep coming — this time, in the courtroom.
As part of their finalized divorce settlement, the WWE Hall of Famer, reality TV star and businesswoman will pay a hefty chunk of change to her ex-husband, Artem Chigvintsev.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, a judge has officially signed off on the agreement Nikki and Artem reached back in November 2024. As part of the deal, Nikki will pay $3,500 a month in child support for their son, Matteo. She’s also agreed to pay Artem a lump sum of $200,000 by the end of the year — and will cover all costs related to Matteo’s speech therapy.
Though she's now going by her maiden name, she’ll always be known to wrestling fans as Nikki Bella, who rose to fame as one half of the WWE’s iconic Bella Twins, alongside her identical twin sister Brie Bella (Brianna Garcia-Colace).
Together, they dominated WWE’s Divas division and held the record for the longest-reigning Divas Champion, They retired the "Bella" name in 2023 and reemerged as the "Garcia Twins." While no longer active in the ring, the duo remains involved in the wrestling world as media personalities — hosting events and appearing on red carpets.
Nikki, who was previously engaged to fellow WWE superstar John Cena, found love with Artem in 2017 during season 25 of "Dancing with the Stars," when the Russian-born professional dancer was her partner. The couple welcomed a son in 2020 and tied the knot in 2022. However, in 2024, Nikki filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
