Former WWE superstar Nikki Bella has finalized her divorce from Dancing with the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev, agreeing to pay $3,500 per month in child support for their son, Matteo. The settlement, recently approved by the court, also includes two lump-sum payments totaling $200,000, with $100,000 due immediately and another $100,000 scheduled for later this year.

Legal documents obtained by TMZ reveal that Bella will also cover the full cost of Matteo’s speech therapy, while both parents will split expenses related to his extracurricular activities. Additionally, Bella retains control of her business interests, including Stephanie Nicole Garcia Entertainment and her wine label, Bonita Bonita.

The custody arrangement stipulates that Bella and Chigvintsev will alternate major holidays with Matteo each year. The divorce settlement follows a turbulent period in their relationship, including an August 2024 domestic violence incident that led to Chigvintsev’s arrest. Bella later filed a restraining order, while Chigvintsev countered with claims that she was the aggressor.

Despite the legal battles, the couple initially reached a settlement in November 2024, but the court only recently finalized the agreement. The resolution marks the end of their marriage, allowing both to move forward separately while co-parenting their son.
