Nikki Garcia, formerly Nikki Bella, breaks her silence on her split from Artem Chigvintsev, admitting she ‘played up’ their romance in the public eye, to avoid ‘another failed public relationship.’ The retired WWE star joined her twin sister, Brie Garcia, on their podcast ‘The Nikki & Brie Show,’ to open up about her divorce from the ‘Dancing With the Stars’ pro for the first time since ending their two year marriage. Nikki filed for divorce in September, nearly two weeks after Artem was arrested for domestic violence in Napa, California. The charges against Artem were later dropped. Nikki says she’s now focusing on their 4-year-old son, Matteo.
