Nikki Garcia, formerly known as Nikki Bella, reminded fans why she’s still the “Fearless Queen” in her latest Instagram snap. The WWE star posed poolside in a bold blue bikini, sipping on an iced drink while flashing her signature confident smile. The ocean waves crashing in the background only added to the effortlessly cool vibe, making it clear Nikki knows how to own a moment.
But beyond her eye-catching post, Nikki’s personal life has been making headlines. The reality star is newly single following her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev in November 2024. The two first fell in love as partners on "Dancing with the Stars" and later tied the knot, welcoming their son Matteo together.
Their marriage came to a sudden end after Chigvintsev’s August 2024 arrest for corporal injury to a spouse, prompting Garcia to file for divorce. Despite the painful split, Nikki has remained focused on her son’s well-being. She and Artem have established a co-parenting dynamic that prioritizes Matteo above all else.

While Nikki has been embracing her independence, she’s also opened up about the harsh spotlight that followed her 2024 divorce from Artem Chigvintsev. During a candid conversation with Kristin Cavallari on her "Let’s Be Honest" podcast live show, Nikki admitted she feels the media has unfairly painted her in a negative light.
“I think they make me, like, more of a villain than I am,” Nikki confessed, per E!, pointing out the double standards women often face in high-profile breakups. Her twin sister Brie quickly backed her up, adding, “Oh, for sure. Especially out of your divorce.”

The "Total Bellas" star went on to reveal that her WWE career, and particularly her “villain” persona in the ring, was even used against her during her legal battle. “People bring up like, ‘Well I don’t know, 2017, your character in the ring…’” she recalled. “I’m like, ‘That’s not real. I was playing a villain.’ I was playing a character and they all think I’m that person. I mean, I heard it in court through the divorce. Because I was a strong woman, a pro wrestler.”
For Nikki, it’s a reminder that her strength and success in the ring has sometimes been twisted into a narrative that doesn’t reflect who she is in real life, especially as a mother and now, a single woman building her next chapter.
