Former WWE Divas Champion and Hall of Famer Nikki Bella (AKA Nikki Garcia) is currently going through a tough phase in her personal life. She has been in the headlines of mainstream media for the past few weeks for not-so-good reasons. Her twin sister Brie Garcia (FKA Brie Bella) has finally broken her silence for the first time on the troubles her sister is going through.
On August 29, 2024, it was reported the husband of Nikki Bella had been arrested on alleged domestic violence charges. Artem Chigvintsev was arrested on a charge involving injury to spouse, cohabitant or partner. He was reportedly released the same day on $25,000 bond.
Following that, Nikki Bella filed for divorce on September 11, 2024. The family wanted to keep things private and requested privacy. A report earlier suggested that Nikki was not at all happy with Artem asking for spousal support. Now for the first time, Brie Garcia has broken silence on the situation.
Appearing on their podcast Nikki & Brie podcast alone, Brie Garcia expressed that Nikki is going through a tough challenge in her life and wants her privacy and she appreciates all the love and support from the fans.
