Nikki Garcia Seen Without Wedding Ring Following Artem’s Arrest

In light of Artem Chigvintsev’s recent arrest for domestic violence, there has been considerable concern among fans regarding the well-being of his wife, Nikki Garcia.

While the emotional impact of the incident may linger, it was a relief to many to see Nikki appearing physically fine when she was photographed by paparazzi today.

This public appearance has also sparked speculation about her marital status, especially since she was seen without her wedding ring, suggesting her marriage may indeed be over.

Nikki Garcia, formerly known as Nikki Bella, has previously asked for privacy as her family navigates this challenging time. Despite remaining mostly silent publicly, her decision to go out without her wedding ring made a statement of its own.

TMZ reported that Nikki was seen in public for the first time following her husband’s arrest, noticeably missing her wedding ring. Given the recent turmoil, the absence of the ring has been interpreted as a significant gesture. The two had recently celebrated their second anniversary, sharing affectionate posts online. Both appeared to be in good spirits at the time.

This recent sighting of Nikki without her ring could imply she is prepared to move on. She was reportedly seen boarding a private plane in Oakland, likely heading to Las Vegas.

Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Garcia tied the knot in 2022 after living together and welcoming a son. In 2021, Nikki revealed that they were undergoing couples counseling, struggling with communication and often finding themselves on different pages.

“I would be lying to say, ‘Oh, it’s great.’ It has definitely been a struggle for us,” Nikki told Us Weekly at the time. “It’s hard. We have so many ups and downs. It’s been so difficult on our relationship because I need so much from him, but he’s, like, torn between his job that requires so much from him and then us at home.”

TMZ disclosed that those close to the couple were not entirely surprised by Artem’s arrest. The pair had frequent, heated arguments, though this was the first known instance where it escalated physically.
