Due to California law, the victim is not named. However, due to the nature of the booking, it’s easy to assume that it was Nikki who was at the receiving end of the violence. The investigation is ongoing.
Are Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Garcia Still Together?
Nikki remained quiet after making the initial statement. However, she was spotted on September 2, 2024 without her wedding ring.
While TMZ states that she is seeking a divorce lawyer, fans spotted that Nikki wasn’t wearing her wedding ring before the incident with Artem. In an Instagram post on August 23, 2024 posting about a hot dog-eating competition, she wasn’t wearing her ring. It could suggest that the couple were heading for divorce before this incident.
The incident comes just days after the couple celebrated their second wedding anniversary. Nikki posted a photo on Instagram with a caption that included the lyrics to I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis Presley.
