Nikki Garcia<\/strong><\/a> (formerly known as Nikki Bella) is looking ahead to future romantic partners following her split from Artem Chigvintsev<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n The WWE alum, 41, told twin sister Brie Garcia<\/strong> (formerly Brie Bella) and guest Rocsi Diaz<\/strong> that she wasn\u2019t interested in dating a younger man on \u201cThe Nikki & Brie Show<\/a>\u201d podcast on Monday, February 17.<\/p>\n \u201cDo we want to train?\u201d Nikki said. \u201cI wanted to be owned. I don\u2019t wanna be trained. I want my body rocked.\u201d<\/p>\n The Total Bellas<\/em> alum began to wonder where the older men were at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on February 9.<\/p>\n \u201cWhere\u2019s the retired ones? The ones that have some wisdom and age?\u201d she continued. Rocsi, 43, added, \u201cYou can see them. They\u2019re around. They\u2019re here somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n Explaining why she wanted an older man, Nikki said that they have \u201cexperienced life a little bit.\u201d However, Brie, 41, and their podcast guest encouraged the former pro wrestler to \u201chave fun with a young one.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re right. No. I\u2019ll just do it all. Do young. I\u2019ll do retired,\u201d Nikki concluded.<\/p>\n It seems Nikki is opening herself up to new possibilities after previously expressing hesitation about dating following her divorce from Artem, 42, which was finalized in November 2024. Two days before the 2025 Super Bowl, Brie explained to People<\/em><\/a> that the sporting event would be a milestone for her sister.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Nicole, this is your first time being single at Super Bowl,\u2019\u201d she said. However, Nikki quickly cut her off and chimed in, \u201cGirl, I\u2019m still healing<\/a>, please.\u201d She added that it seemed like Brie was \u201cmore excited\u201d about the idea of Nikki dating than Nikki was.<\/p>\n \u201cListen, I\u2019m in an amazing marriage. We\u2019ve been married 10 years, together for 14, and I\u2019m like, \u2018I get to have some fun through you now!\u2019\u201d Brie joked.<\/p>\n With that said, Nikki did admit that there were \u201ca lot\u201d of good-looking men in New Orleans.<\/p>\n The dating discussions came five months after Nikki filed for divorce<\/a> from Artem in Napa Valley, California, in September 2024, Life & Style<\/em> confirmed at the time via online records. She submitted the paperwork weeks after Artem\u2019s August 2024 arrest on domestic violence charges. Though the charges were later dropped on September 24, 2024, Nikki filed for a restraining order<\/a> against Artem one week later.<\/p>\n In the restraining order paperwork, Nikki claimed that Artem \u201ctackled me multiple times and pinned me to the ground\u201d while their son, Matteo, 4, was present, TMZ<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n Artem requested a \u201cdomestic violence restraining order\u201d in response to Nikki\u2019s request.<\/p>\n \u201cShe is the one with the temper. I try to stay quiet and avoid it. She yells, and on August 29 was yelling, pursuing me, and was the one who attacked me,\u201d he claimed in court paperwork obtained by Daily Mail<\/em>.<\/p>\n Nikki and Artem were granted joint custody of Matteo in October 2024. Weeks later, the pair opted to drop their restraining orders against each other \u201cin an effort to move on with their lives and effectively co-parent their son,\u201d Nikki\u2019s rep told E! News<\/em><\/a>. The former couple settled their divorce<\/a> in November 2024, although the details of the settlement were not revealed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
