It was reported on August 29th 2024 that Artem Chingvintsev, the husband of WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Garcia aka Nikki Bella, was arrested on a felony domestic violence (battery) charge. It was later revealed that Nikki asked for legal and physical custody of their son Matteo in divorce documents and then the Napa County DA declined to file criminal charges against Artem.
