The mom-of-one has cleared her Instagram page of all pictures and content in a supposed bid to start everything afresh now that she is single.

Her new decision involves zero images of her and her sister, Brie Bella, none of her son Matteo Chigvintsev, and certainly not a single brand-sponsored post.

Chigvintsev did not follow in her ex’s footsteps, as he still has a few pictures of her and their time together as a married couple on his Instagram feed. Garcia's decision comes right after the estranged couple decided to drop their restraining orders against each other.

As part of their effort to keep things as amicable and peaceful as possible, an insider shared that Garcia and her dancer ex dropped their restraining orders against each other.

This will also allow for smooth interaction and coparenting process, as a previous judgment already ordered the couple to share custody of Matteo.

Although the details of their divorce agreement have been sealed from public access, Chigvintsev had earlier requested the court grant his spousal support request from the former wrestler.

No updated information exists on that, but Garcia reportedly ticked the box to block the court from awarding spousal support in her divorce petition.

The divorce process was indeed a tumultuous one, and the dancer's financial woes allegedly began when the former WWE champion accused him of domestic violence.

The Blast gathered that Garcia's allegations led to the Russian's dismissal from "Dancing with The Stars" and directly affected his income. Chigvintsev claimed that he lost over $100k from a lack of gigs due to the bad reputation he got from the case.

He also argued that he experienced a revenue loss from social media promotions as brands terminated their contracts with him. Chigvintsev noted that despite his losses, Garcia continued to profit from social media amid her distorted narratives to the public.

He pleaded with the court that the former wrestler be responsible for sorting all his out-of-pocket expenses because the temporary restraining order against him was granted without solid evidence. Chigvintsev also asked Garcia to sort his rent because he was kicked out of their shared home.

Will Artem Chigvintsev follow in his estranged wife Nikki Garcia's footsteps and do a social media cleanse?
