Nikki Garcia Ditches Wedding Ring After Artem Chigvintsev's Arrest

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, it is always disheartening to see such incidents unfold in the public eye, especially when they involve individuals who have built a beautiful life together. Nikki Garcia and Artem Chigvintsev’s story is one that has touched many hearts, and their journey as a couple has been a source of inspiration for millions.


As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it as: “I, Nikki Garcia, chose to step out without my wedding ring, following the unfortunate incident where my beloved partner, Artem Chigvintsev – a renowned professional on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ – was arrested for alleged domestic violence, two days prior.”

Previously recognized as Nikki Bella, the ex-WWE wrestler was seen without her distinctive piece of jewelry on a private plane departing from Oakland, California on August 31st.

At the occasion, being her initial public event since Artem’s detention, Nikki was snapped loading luggage from an SUV together with a companion, while carrying a tablet for their son Matteo (age 4), and a drink prior to getting on the aircraft.

On August 29, Chigvintsev was taken into custody in Napa and faced charges under California’s Penal Code Section 273.5(a), which deals with domestic violence against spouses or cohabitants. According to records reviewed by TopMob News, he was granted bail in the amount of $25,000 and later released.

In a statement made to TopMob News, a representative from the Napa County Sheriff’s Department explained that when someone is accused of felony domestic violence, it typically implies there is either visible harm or reliable testimony from a witness. The deputies involved in the arrest felt confident in their decision to charge him with felony domestic violence.

Prior to his arrest, Chigvintsev phoned 911 for emergency medical help and informed the operator that Garcia had hurled shoes at him during an argument, as per a TMZ-obtained radio dispatch call. The operator also verified the presence of a child at the scene. Despite Chigvintsev’s attempt to cancel the arrival of paramedics, the police were eventually dispatched to their home.

In order to safeguard the confidentiality of individuals involved in a case of alleged domestic violence, the authorities have decided against disclosing the name, gender, age, or any details about their connection to Chigvintsev, 42, as well as the specific location where the event that resulted in his arrest took place.

Chigvintsev, who won’t be part of Dancing With the Stars for season 33, hasn’t made any public statements about it yet. Our team at TopMob News has tried reaching out to his representative but haven’t received a response as of now.

40-year-old Garcia mentioned on social media the previous day that she was in Napa, a place where their family owns a house valued at $1.5 million. On Instagram Stories, she shared that she had undergone a facial treatment at a local medical spa in the city.

Three days before his arrest, Garcia and Chigvintsev posted heartfelt messages on social media to celebrate their second wedding anniversary together.

On August 26th, the dancer from Strictly Come Dancing expressed on Instagram, “Happy anniversary to my beloved! I can’t imagine my life without you. You are my world and my all.”

In her tribute, Garcia quoted lyrics from Elvis Presley‘s “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”

“I’ll always remember the place where I stood when I inquired about Artem from Jesus, she penned. Engaging in a dialogue with Him and God. My emotions seemed premature. The pace was too swift. And then a song started playing. It was at that moment that I realized I was falling for him, and it felt destined. Happy Anniversary, @theartemc! I am deeply in love with you.”
