Messy 'Dancing With the Stars' Divorce Details Revealed
A messy divorce between a Dancing With the Stars couple has finally been signed off on by a judge, and the details of their divorce settlement have been revealed. TMZ reports that in the divorce between former Dancing With the Stars pro , 42, and pro wrestler (who used to be known professionally as Nikki Bella), 41, a judge has finally signed off on their terms. Garcia will have to pay the professional dancer $3500 per month in child support for the well-being of their son, Matteo, 4. She will also make two lump-sum payments to Chigvintsev, $100,000 now and $100,000 by the end of 2025. The couple has agreed to split the costs of any of Matteo's activities, but Garcia will be the one responsible for paying for Matteo's speech therapist. Garcia will also retain the rights to the trusts in her name, which include Stephanie Nicole Garcia Entertainment and Bonita Bonita. Chigvintsev was arrested in August 2024 in a domestic violence incident just days after the pair celebrated their second wedding anniversary. Garcia filed a restraining order against the dancer, but he later filed one against Garcia, alleging that she was the aggressor in the altercation. The restraining orders were eventually dropped. At the time, a rep for Garcia told People that both parties "decided to drop the domestic violence restraining orders against each other in an effort to move on with their lives and effectively co-parent their son." The rep added, "Nikki's number one priority has always been her son and privacy on the matter. She is thankful for all of the love and support she has received during this difficult time." Garcia hasn't spoken too much publicly about the divorce. But in the trailer for Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour," released on May 5, she can be seen joining host on stage and saying, "Biggest lesson learned in the past five years? Make 'im sign a prenup." Garcia and Chigvintsev met on season 25 of Dancing With the Stars when they were paired together, though they didn't start dating until over a year after the season wrapped. They welcomed son Matteo in July 2020 and were married in August 2022.
