Nikki Bella initiates separation proceedings two weeks following Artem Chigvintsev's detention on allegations of domestic violence misconduct.
On a Wednesday, as per Napa County Superior Court records accessible online, Bella submitted the petition.
The duo, consisting of Chigvintsev and the ex-WWE star, has been tied in matrimony since 2022 and shares a four-year-old offspring.
CNN has attempted to elicit responses from representatives representing Bella and Chigvintsev.
Recently, Henry Wofford, who serves as the public information officer for the Napa County Sheriff’s Department, informed CNN that Chigvintsev was detained approximately at 10 a.m. PDT on August 29 in Yountville, under suspicion of committing a felony related to domestic violence.
At that moment, Wofford stated that the investigation was still ongoing. Regrettably, no additional information concerning the event or the individuals involved had become accessible.
Chigvintsev is renowned for his work as a professional dancer and choreographer on ABC's reality competition show "Dancing with the Stars" for at least ten seasons. It was during Season 25 of the show that he crossed paths with Bella.
As CNN previously reported, Chigvintsev's presence in the upcoming Season 33 of "DWTS" was not to be anticipated.
Despite the legal issues, Chigvintsev's love for entertainment continues, as he was once a popular figure on "Dancing with the Stars." After the incident, fans are eager to know if his entertainment career will be affected.
