Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Bella’s Marriage Has Long Been Troubled
Artem Chigvintsev‘s recent arrest for domestic violence did not come as a complete surprise to those familiar with his relationship with Nikki Bella. Sources close to the couple, including former “DWTS” cast and crew members, describe their marriage as having been “volatile” for years.
Sources tell TMZ that Artem and Nikki’s friends were not shocked by the reports of a heated argument in which Nikki allegedly threw shoes at Artem. The couple’s troubled marriage has been known among those close to them.
The general reaction to Artem’s felony domestic violence arrest was described as “shocking but not shocking.” TMZ reported that Artem was arrested early Thursday morning for corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant. A dispatch call revealed that Artem initially requested paramedics before changing his mind and asking them to leave their Napa Valley home.
While Artem and Nikki’s friends were aware of past verbal disputes, this is the first reported incident involving physical altercations. Their arguments have often been related to issues of control and belittlement.
In 2021, Nikki admitted that their marriage needed improvement, particularly in communication, and revealed that they attended couples therapy due to concerns over how Artem spoke to her.
Currently, Artem is not residing in the Napa Valley home, and Nikki is taking care of their 4-year-old son, Mateo.
