Nikki was awarded their marital home - with the exes keeping their own furniture and furnishings - but Nikki had to return her leased 2023 Mercedes to Artem by February 2025 because it was in his business' name. She also had to pay Artem an equalization payment in the sum of $200,000 to satisfy any claims related to the division of assets, debts, and reimbursements as a complete buyout of any and all spousal support obligations - which they both have waived. The first $100,000 of that was due by April 30, the date the judgment was executed. And $50,000 is due by June 1, followed by the other $50,000 due by December 31. In addition, she was ordered to pay Artem $3,500 per month for child support for their son Matteo. The parents share joint legal and physical custody of the four year old. Nikki spoke candidly on the latest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show podcast about their divorce settlement and her reaction to the $200,000 'steal.' 'Our settlement is what everyone saw. Yes, I had to give him $200,000. Spousal support, alimony,' she said, as twin sister Brie Bella chimed in, 'That's what happens when you're the breadwinner.' But according to Nikki, the $200,000 payout didn't leave her bitter - in fact, she shocked listeners by admitting she 'got a steal' in the deal. The Total Bellas star also revealed a jaw-dropping comment from the judge who oversaw their private mediation. 'Our judge said at the end of it, "This is the first time in all the years I've done this where a woman had to pay a man,"' Nikki recalled. '"You should be so damn proud that you built such an empire that someone wants a piece of it."' The couple got married in August 2022 in Paris. Their two-year marriage came to an end in September 2024 when the Total Bella stars filed for divorce She added, 'It was nice to hear that… even though it hurts because I broke my neck for that money. That money, all that is my hard-earned money.' Last fall, a judge in the case ruled that the exes would share custody of their only child, more than a month after Nikki filed for divorce. She had initially petitioned the court for sole custody of their son and also asked for the court to appoint a supervisor for Matteo's visits with the Russia native and asked that her former spouse be ordered to attend anger management courses - all requests that have since been denied by the court. Chigvintsev told the court at the time that he doesn't have anger-related issues. However, both parents were ordered by the court to enroll in parenting classes to help them remain cordial as they raise their child following their split. The Nikki & Brie Show co-host and Chigvintsev both had restraining orders against each other, which were dropped in November 2024. Nikki was granted a restraining order last year against Chigvintsev after accusing him of physical abuse. She said in legal docs that he had 'tackled [her] multiple times and pinned [her] to the ground while our child was present' during an argument over breakfast. She also claimed that Chigvintsev had become 'increasingly angry, snapping at me and yelling' after not being asked to return to Dancing With The Stars for season 33. Chigvintsev responded to the court that Garcia 'grew increasingly angry' with him on multiple occasions and had played the role of 'aggressor.' The So You Think You Can Dance alum previously broke his silence over his shock DV arrest as he reacted to prosecutors declining to file charges against him over the incident. 'I am incredibly relieved and grateful that the domestic violence charges against me have been dropped,' he said in a statement. 'This has been an extremely difficult time for me. I am thankful that the truth has prevailed. My focus has always been and will always be, our son Matteo.' According to his social media, the choreographer has been teaching master classes at local dance studios in Napa Valley. There is no word yet on whether he'll be returning to Dancing With the Stars this fall after he was not asked to return last season, which was a decision reportedly made before his DV arrest. DWTS pro Alan Bersten told in a recent interview that he also is uncertain of Artem's future, and which pros will be back. 'Honestly, I haven't spoken to him in a while. I hope he's doing okay again. I don't know,' Bersten, who's dating his costar Emma Slater, spilled. 'Again, don't know if anyone else is back, so I hope the best for everyone...I haven't been in touch with him.

The former WWE star, 41, opened up about her recent court-ordered settlement on Thursday, revealing she was forced to shell out $200,000 of her 'hard-earned money' in spousal support to her ex, Dancing with the Stars pro Chigvintsev, 42.

Yes, I had to give him $200,000. Spousal support, alimony,' she said, as twin sister Brie chimed in, 'That's what happens when you're the breadwinner.' But according to Nikki, the $200K payout didn't leave her bitter — in fact, she shocked listeners by admitting she 'got a steal' in the deal. 'Which is crazy to say,' she added. The Total Bellas star also revealed a jaw-dropping comment from the judge who oversaw their private mediation. 'Our judge said at the end of it, "This is the first time in all the years I've done this where a woman had to pay a man,"' Nikki recalled. '"You should be so damn proud that you built such an empire that someone wants a piece of it."' The comment hit hard — but also struck a nerve of pride. 'It was nice to hear that… even though it hurts because I broke my neck for that money,' she said. 'That money, all that is my hard-earned money.'' Nikki added she promised the judge that any future husband will be signing a prenup. As for the $3,500 a month in child support, Nikki said she's fine with it — because it's all about Matteo. 'Child support is so the child could have an equal life in both homes,' she explained. 'I don't even think twice about it… that is making sure Matteo is also 50/50, half of his other time is a good life.' Despite the split and drama, Nikki said she and Artem are finally in a solid place. 'We are co-parenting so amazing, and it makes Matteo's life so amazing, and I don't want it any other way.' She also made it clear that their divorce had 'nothing to do' with the highly publicized incident in August 2024, when Artem was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in Napa County. No charges were filed. Artem later told People he was 'incredibly relieved and grateful' that the case was dropped. 'This has been an extremely difficult time for me. I am thankful that the truth has prevailed.' The DWTS pro emphasized his focus remains on fatherhood, calling Matteo 'the greatest blessing' and pledging to continue providing 'the love, support, and care he needs' as they move forward.
