“I’m so happy to be here,” Nikki shared as she cohosted the event alongside Rob Riggle on September 2. She appeared to be all smiles as she cohosted, the events from the days before seemingly far from her mind.

It’s not currently known how she intends to handle her marriage moving forward. Leaving her wedding ring at home seems pretty indicative of a split.

But according to those who know the couple best, Nikki and Artem have always had a wildly tumultuous relationship. Just before Artem’s arrest, the couple celebrated their second wedding anniversary. On Instagram, the Total Bellas star penned a touching post to her husband, sharing clips from their wedding day.

New Information Regarding The Day Of The Arrest Emerges

Us Weekly spoke to Napa Valley Sheriff PIO Henry Wofford following the arrest. Wofford reports that the victim “requested complete confidentiality,” though the 911 call and other evidence seem to indicate that it’s Nikki Garcia.

“We also had an opportunity to speak to the victim and the suspect was arrested without incident,” the sheriff added. The investigation is still underway, but Wofford also noted that Artem Chigvintsev was not combative during his arrest.

Before the incident last week, Artem was reportedly heartbroken Dancing With The Stars opted not to renew his contract for Season 33. Fans believe his feelings might have contributed to his rage, though domestic violence is never an acceptable response under any circumstances.

Please seek help if you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence. Get in touch with the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
