The outlet reported that Artem himself made the call, but he later canceled the request before the paramedics arrived. Artem was detained at the scene, a rep from the Napa County Sheriff\u2019s Department told the publication that the victim had \u201cinjuries\u201d but requested \u201ctotal confidentiality.\u201d<\/p>\n It remains unclear if Artem\u2019s wife, Nikki Garcia<\/strong><\/a> (formerly Nikki Bella), was involved in the incident in any way.<\/p>\n Artem has been married to Nikki, a former WWE wrestler, since August 2022. The couple first met when Nikki competed on Dancing With the Stars<\/em> in 2017. However, she was engaged to John Cena<\/strong> at the time. Nikki and John ended their engagement<\/a> in 2018, and soon after, she and Artem sparked dating rumors<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThey got together for dinner and the chemistry from the dance floor came right back. They hit it off. They\u2019re taking it slow, but they\u2019re really into each other,\u201d an insider told Life & Style<\/em><\/a> in January 2019.<\/p>\n Nikki and Artem officially confirmed they were in a relationship in March 2019 during an episode of \u201cThe Bellas Podcast.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, we are dating. Yes, I spend the night at his house,\u201d Nikki gushed. \u201cYes, we have date lunches at Joan\u2019s on Third and we like to get food for his house \u2014 or should I say, produce from the farmer\u2019s markets. So, let\u2019s consider this rumor killed.\u201d<\/p>\n When they made their red carpet debut at the Nickelodeon Kids\u2019 Choice Sports Awards in July 2019, Nikki and the professional dancer couldn\u2019t hide their admiration for each other.<\/p>\n \u201cArtem\u2019s aura and energy, he\u2019s so calming and relaxing,\u201d Nikki told People<\/em><\/a> at the event. \u201cI\u2019m like the Tasmanian devil, I need someone with his energy to make me stop and be present. \u2026 He\u2019s so adorable and sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n Artem added, \u201cI think she\u2019s the exact opposite of me. What I\u2019m missing in my life, she fulfills.\u201d<\/p>\n In January 2020, Nikki revealed that Artem had proposed two months earlier and shared the big news on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cExcited for 2020 and the next decade with you @theartemc,\u201d the former Total Divas<\/em> star wrote. \u201cI said yes in France in November! We have been trying to keep it a secret but really wanted to share our excitement for the New Year!\u201d<\/p>\n Their wedding plans were postponed several times, but the two finally tied the knot in August 2022, a little over two years after they welcomed their first child, a son.<\/p>\nWhy Was Artem Chigvintsev Arrested?<\/h2>\n
