One source claims that Chigvintsev, who shares son Matteo , 4, with Garcia, is not staying at the family home for now. Instead, he's been shacking up at a friend's house while Garcia and Matteo stay put.

As OK! previously reported, the dancer was arrested for felony corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant after he called paramedics to request medical assistance to the alleged victim. Radio dispatch audio confirms he called for but then canceled the visit, but cops still showed up to their home.
Garcia allegedly threw shoes at Chigvintsev during the argument, per the dispatcher.
After the incident, Garcia's rep said: "This is a private matter , and Nikki asks for privacy for her and her family at this time."

Though the athlete seemed in good spirits, her ring was still missing in action.
"Thank you everyone, I'm so happy to be here!" she said after Riggle's introduction.
After the audience cheered, she replied, "I love you too."
According to an insider, it's not shocking the two, who got married in 2022, were having issues.
Friends of the couple were aware the marriage was “volatile” for some time.
“This song is our love story,” she captioned the Instagram video, which featured Elvis Presley 's song "Can't Help Falling in Love." “I’ll never forget where I was when I asked Jesus about Artem. Having a conversation with He & God. How my feelings felt too soon. It all felt too fast. And then this song came on.”
“That’s when I knew that I was falling in love with him and that it was all meant to be,” she added.
Never knew why he married her in the first place,,too tell you the truth,,never thought it would last,,she married just to be married,,they both should have walk away,,there more to story 2 slides,,but divorce is a good ideal because what happened who knows but she always belittled him on air..reason story is being kept quiet is she don't want her image getting tarnished 🤔she looks like she been wanting to get unmarried!
