Artem Chigvintsev, husband of WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella recently grabbed the headlines following his arrest on domestic battery charges. The incident has drawn significant public attention, and now, new developments suggest the strain on their marriage is becoming more visible.
As per TMZ, Nikki Bella, who has been rumored to be the victim of the assault, was seen in Oakland boarding a private jet, presumably heading to Las Vegas to co-host Netflix’s live hotdog eating competition, Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef. However, it was noted that her wedding ring was absent, a clear sign that all may not be well in their marriage following the arrest.
The incident was reported as Artem himself called 911 from their home in Napa, California, reporting a medical emergency. He attempted to cancel the request. However, law enforcement arrived at the scene, where they observed visible injuries on the alleged victim. This led to Artem’s arrest on charges of felony corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant, though he was later released on $25,000 bail.
