Nikki Garcia Ordered To Pay Artem Chigvintsev This Staggering Amount in Their Divorce Settlement
The details of Nikki Garcia and Artem Chigvintsev's divorce settlement have been publicized, revealing the massive sum the WWE star was ordered to pay her ex-husband.
TMZ reported on May 15 that a judge officially signed off on the former couple's November 2024 divorce settlement. 41-year-old Garcia agreed to pay Chigvintsev $3,500 a month in child support for their 4-year-old son, Matteo. Garcia was also ordered to pay the Dancing With the Stars pro, 42, two $100,000 lump sums. The first will be paid now, and the second at the end of the year.

Garcia will cover the full cost of their son's speech therapy while the exes will continue to split the cost of Matteo's extracurricular activities. Garcia and Chigvintsev were granted joint custody of the son in October 2024 with a judge rejecting Garcia's request that Chigvintsev be ordered to take anger management classes and only get supervised visitation.
Garcia and Chigvintsev were ordered to attend individual therapy and parenting classes.
The exes, who married in 2022, two years after welcoming their son, split up in August 2024. Their separation came after Chigvintsev was arrested on felony domestic violence charges after an incident at the couple's home. Chigvintsev denied any wrongdoing and claimed his ex-wife was the aggressor.
The charges were dropped in September. 'I am incredibly relieved and grateful that the domestic violence charges against me have been dropped,' Chigvintsev said in a statement at the time. 'This has been an extremely difficult time for me. I am thankful that the truth has prevailed.'
In a December episode of her podcast, Garcia admitted that hasn't had 'a day without tears' since her split from Chigvintsev. 'I just know that situations like this, divorce, whatever it may be, it takes a piece of you. It takes a piece of your heart that will never grow back or never be replaced, but it's, 'How do we make that piece of you that's gone strong?'' she of SheKnows
