Nikki Garcia doesn't want to date following Artem Chigvintsev divorce
Nikki Garcia isn't interested in dating following her split from Artem Chigvintsev. The 41-year-old WWE star and the Dancing With the Stars professional divorced after two years of marriage last year but she isn't in a rush to find love again as she focuses on caring for her son Matteo, four, and her career in the ring and on TV. Speaking to her twin sister Brie Garcia on their The Nikki and Brie Show podcast, Nikki said: "At his age right now, I get so much love that I realise this is all the love I need and want right now." The Total Divas star explained that she has been on "a few" dates since her divorce but is refusing to "waste time and energy" looking for a new man. Nikki explained: "I was like, 'I'm not even going to waste time and energy.' I'm just too tired." She added: "I have Teo and I do career, Teo and career, so that's where I'm at." Nikki and Artem split last year after a row that saw the police called to their home and claims that she was seen as the "villain" in the divorce as she questioned the double standards of how men and women are portrayed by the media. In a preview from her appearance on Kristin Cavallari's Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour obtained by E! News, she said: "I think they make me, like, more of a villain than I am." Kristin - whose own marriage to Jay Cutler ended in 2022 - added: "Of course, you're a woman." Both Nikki and Brie believe that their jobs as professional wrestlers means that the pair are considered to be tougher than they actually are. Nikki said: "I feel like when you're badass women and you kick a** in a ring, people just assume you're not empathetic. "It's like we could go kick so much a** and, yeah, I'll pick a guy out in the crowd. I'll body slam you right now. I can do it... 'I'll pay for your hospital bill." Brie agreed: "Because we're pro wrestlers and all these things, we can come off so hard and tough." Nikki added: "I think that's the biggest misconception." The star also suggested that her WWE persona was used against her during her legal battle with Artem. Nikki said: "People bring up like, 'Well I don't know, 2017, your character in the ring.... I'm like, 'That's not real. I was playing a villain.' I was playing a character and they all think I'm that person. I mean, I heard it in court through the divorce. Because I was a strong woman, a pro wrestler."

Nikki Garcia believes she was seen as 'villian' in Artem Chigvintsev divorce
Nikki Garcia believes she was seen as the "villain" in her split from Artem Chigvintsev. The WWE star - who is also known as Nikki Bella - split from the Dancing With the Stars professional last August after two years of marriage following a row which saw police called to their home, and she hit out at the double standards of how men and women are portrayed by the media. In a preview from her appearance on Kristin Cavallari's Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour obtained by E! News, she said: "I think they make me, like, more of a villain than I am." Her twin sister, Brie Garcia, agreed: "Oh, for sure. Especially out of your divorce." Kristin - whose own marriage to Jay Cutler ended in 2022 - added: "Of course, you're a woman." Both Nikki and Brie believe their images as wrestlers make people think they are tougher than they are. Nikki said: "I feel like when you're badass women and you kick ass in a ring, people just assume you're not empathetic. "It's like we could go kick so much a**and, yeah, I'll pick a guy out in the crowd. I'll body slam you right now. I can do it... "I'll pay for your hospital bill." Brie agreed: "Because we're pro wrestlers and all these things, we can come off so hard and tough." Nikki added: "I think that's the biggest misconception." And Nikki - who has four-year-old Matteo with Artem - claimed her WWE persona was also used against her during her legal battle with the former Dancing with the Stars professional. She said: "People bring up like, 'Well I don't know, 2017, your character in the ring.... I'm like, 'That's not real. I was playing a villain.' I was playing a character and they all think I'm that person. I mean, I heard it in court through the divorce. Because I was a strong woman, a pro wrestler." Kristin fumed: "You should not be able to use anything in entertainment. That's bulls***." The 38-year-old star admitted her own public confessions had also coloured people's image of her. She added: "Or, with me, they always want to make it about sex. Like, I said a lot more than just that. It drives me insane." Following Nikki and Artem's row, the 42-year-old dancer was arrested amid allegations of domestic violence, but was not charged and he recently admitted the incident "ruined" his life. He told the Glamourous Grind podcast: "It completely ruined everything for me. From every angle, it ruined my life completely. "The worst part of all of this was because the [district attorney] dropped the case, clearly stating there was nothing they could possibly have charged me on. ""When people see that mugshot. For them, in their mind, you are immediately guilty. "There is nothing you can say or try to justify yourself to change their minds.' Artem noted there was no hesitation on his part when it came to ending the marriage. He explained: "I wanted it to be over. I needed to go back to live my life and I need to move on — emotionally, financially — and I just wanted my life to be normal again.' The couple shared differing accounts on what had happened during the row that led to Artem's arrest and later sought restraining orders against one another, though they have now been dismissed.

"Went with our hoodies up": Camille Kostek, once 'judged' by NFL wives, shares how NFL rules forced her to keep relationship with Rob Gronkowski a secret
Camille Kostek opens up on rule-breaking romance with Gronk (Getty Images) Camille Kostek, widely known for gracing the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, has peeled back the curtain on what life was really like as the girlfriend of NFL star Rob Gronkowski. In a heartfelt conversation on Kristin Cavallari's Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour, Kostek didn't shy away from discussing the judgment she faced behind the glitz and glam of being with a professional athlete. NFL wives allegedly snubbed Camille Kostek over marriage status The 33-year-old model revealed she felt dismissed by other NFL wives simply because she wasn't married. 'I felt like I was seen as a lesser-than girlfriend because I didn't have a ring on my finger,' she admitted during the live show in Boston. Her honesty resonated even more as she added, 'But you want to know what's so interesting about that? The woman that's coming to mind [who] judged me the most, she's divorced.' Camille and Gronk's relationship dates back to 2015, though their first encounter happened in 2013, when she was a Patriots cheerleader and he was already a rising tight end with the team. From that moment, their connection grew stronger, but not without facing a few storms. 'Rob and I met when I was 21 years old, and we've been in each other's lives for 10 years,' she shared. Camille Kostek had to bend NFL rules for love—her secret first date with Rob Gronkowski Camille Kostek's first date with Rob Gronkowski wasn't just memorable—it was borderline covert. While speaking at Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit star shared a behind-the-scenes look at how their relationship started under strict boundaries set by the NFL. Back in 2013, when Gronkowski was in his third year with the New England Patriots, and Kostek had just joined the team's cheerleading squad, romance was off-limits. But the connection between them couldn't be ignored. 'Our first date was very undercover because I was a cheerleader for the New England Patriots and you're not allowed to date the players but I was a bad girl,' Kostek said. 'We went to the movies at Patriot Place in the lux level and we went with our hoodies up. ' Their relationship, which began after a charity event, had to be hidden from the start. Despite the early secrecy, the couple eventually went public in 2015 and have since become one of the most beloved pairs in sports entertainment. Today, what started as a rule-breaking romance has blossomed into a strong, enduring bond—proving that sometimes, the best love stories start with a little rebellion.

Camille Kostek is opening up about the not-so-glamorous side of dating a professional athlete. The Sports Illustrated model, 33, claimed she was judged by other NFL wives for not being married to boyfriend and former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski, 36.
