Nikki Bella Lists Official Separation Date From Artem as the Same Day as His Domestic Violence Arrest

New details regarding Nikki Bella’s divorce from Artem Chigvintsev have emerged. She listed the couple’s separation date as the same day as his arrest.

However, she listed her and Artem’s official separation date as August 29 – the same day that the Dancing With the Stars pro was arrested for domestic violence, according to the court documents obtained by TMZ. A spokesperson for the Napa County Sheriff’s Department told the outlet that the victim had sustained “injuries” but requested “total confidentiality.” Artem was then arrested and booked on California penal code 273.5(a), according to jail records viewed by Life & Style. Artem’s former Dancing With the Stars costar Cheryl Burke reacted to his arrest the day after it happened and revealed she was in “complete shock” over the news.
