Nikki “Bella” Garcia and her 4-year-old son, Matteo, were pictured boarding a private jet at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport on Saturday.
It’s the first time the WWE Hall of Famer has been seen since her husband Artem Chigvintsev’s domestic violence arrest earlier this week.
Garcia and her son were first photographed leaving their Napa Valley, Calif., home before stopping at a Starbucks on the way to the airport.

The “Total Bellas” star wore a long-sleeved brown top with baggy jeans and a baseball cap. She was noticeably not wearing her wedding ring.
Meanwhile, Matteo, whom Garcia shares with Chigvintsev, wore a white polo, shorts and sneakers.
Garcia is scheduled to host “Joey Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef” — a Netflix eating competition series — in Las Vegas on Monday, so it’s possible that’s where she’s heading. At this time, she has not yet backed out of the event — both Netflix and Garcia’s reps did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The “Dancing With the Stars” pro, 42, was arrested on a felony corporal injury charge on Thursday morning.

Police said the victim asked for “total confidentiality,” but “an arrest was made at the scene” and “injuries were reportedly involved.”
Chigvintsev was released on Thursday afternoon on a $25,000 bail.
Prior to his arrest, emergency first responders were called to the couple’s home, but the request was canceled as paramedics and the fire department were on their way.

During Chigvintsev’s 911 call , it was confirmed that Garcia was present when the alleged crime occurred.
“Initially this came in as the [reporting party] requesting medical, but now he is stating he got into an argument with his wife and his wife threw shoes at the [reporting party],” the dispatcher said in the clip released by TMZ Friday.
While pals reportedly told TMZ on Friday that Garcia and Chigvintsev’s marriage has been “volatile” for some time, the 40-year-old has not yet been confirmed as the alleged victim. Furthermore, she has not yet released a public statement on the matter.
The couple, who started dating in early 2019 after meeting on Season 25 of “DWTS,” celebrated their second wedding anniversary on Monday.
