In the midst of processing her estranged husband's recent domestic violence arrest, Nikki Garcia is determined to move forward with her life and prioritize her well-being and the well-being of her four-year-old son, Matteo. According to insiders, Nikki has taken the first step by ensuring that her husband, Artem Chigvintsev, has moved out of their Napa, California home. It has been confirmed that the couple is no longer living under the same roof.

Sources have revealed that following the incident, Nikki wasted no time and immediately began seeking the assistance of divorce attorneys. Her friends believe that this "serious" situation may lead to a split between the couple. The 42-year-old dancer had called 911 to request medical attention, claiming that Nikki had thrown a shoe at him. However, he later tried to cancel the EMS request. Despite this, law enforcement officials still dispatched an officer to verify the situation, leading to Chigvintsev's arrest without incident. He is now set to face arraignment on November 4.

The news of the domestic violence arrest has deeply affected Nikki's twin sister, Brie, who is said to be "disgusted, shocked, disappointed, and just sad" by the incident. Brie, who loves Artem, finds it difficult to comprehend such behavior from someone she thought she knew. She is fully supportive of Nikki and is committed to being there for her sister no matter what. Those close to the situation believe that Brie would be the first person to advise Nikki to leave Artem, given their strong bond.

Nikki has requested privacy for herself and her family during this challenging time through her spokesperson. Despite the ordeal, she recently appeared on Netflix's live special, "Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef" on September 2, co-hosting with Rob Riggle. According to a source, Nikki put on a brave face during the broadcast, appearing friendly and seemingly unaffected by the recent events.

Moving forward, Nikki is determined to figure out how Artem fits into her life. Her priority remains the well-being and happiness of both herself and Matteo. As the couple navigates these difficult circumstances, it is clear that Nikki is prepared to take the necessary steps to ensure a positive and safe future for herself and her son.
