Nikki Garcia Craves Passionate Love Life After Divorce from Artem Chigvintsev
Nikki Garcia is putting her dating preferences under the spotlight, fresh off her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev. During a recent episode of the “Nikki & Brie Show,” the retired wrestler expressed a desire for an intense romantic connection, stating, “I want my body rocked,” while reminiscing about the eye candy at Super Bowl LIX. At 41, Nikki is steering clear of younger men, emphasizing instead her craving for maturity, wisdom, and life experiences in potential partners. She cheekily asked, “Where’s the retired ones?”—clearly on the hunt for someone who can keep up with her zest for life.
Three months after finalizing her divorce, which involved allegations of domestic violence that were ultimately dismissed without charges, Nikki is looking ahead. “She gets more excited than me,” she joked about her sister, Brie Bella, who offered her matchmaking services. Brie’s confidence in spotting “good men” suggests family support will play a big role in Nikki’s post-divorce dating adventures.
Nikki’s heartfelt Valentine’s Day plans centered around her son, Matteo, adding another layer to her evolving life. As a single mom, she’s embracing every moment with her four-year-old, saying, “He gives me the greatest love ever.” This aligns with broader trends we see where parents prioritize family bonding over romantic escapades during the early stages of life changes.
The couple’s history is a saga of on-screen chemistry that blossomed into real love—having met on “Dancing With the Stars” back in 2017. However, their recent turmoil highlights the complicated nature of relationships under the public eye. Their split has made waves, especially as they navigated restraining orders against each other prior to their November divorce settlement. While it’s a rocky road back to dating for Nikki, her candidness about what she wants offers a refreshing take on love after heartbreak. She’s clearly ready to find someone who meets her standards, having learned a lot along the way.
With Nikki’s no-nonsense attitude, it seems she’s set on both embracing her single motherhood and revving up her love life. So who knows? The sports, reality TV, and wrestling worlds could be bracing for a sizzling new couple soon!
