Artem Chigvintsev addressed rumors about reconciling with his estranged wife, Nikki Garcia, clarifying that reports claiming he wants to reunite are false. He confirmed through his attorney that he hasn’t spoken to Garcia since early October. Garcia, formerly known as Nikki Bella, filed for divorce in September after two years of marriage. This came shortly after Chigvintsev’s arrest in August on suspicion of felony domestic violence, though charges were later dropped.

A judge recently granted the pair shared custody of their 4-year-old son, Matteo, despite Garcia initially requesting sole custody. Both Chigvintsev and Garcia were granted restraining orders against each other following an incident on August 29.

Garcia accused him of tackling her during a heated argument, while Chigvintsev has maintained his innocence, expressing relief that the charges were dropped and focusing on his role as a father.
