Two weeks after Artem Chigvintsev, a former “Dancing with the Stars” dancer, was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, his wife of two years, Nikki Bella, has filed for divorce.
Bella submitted the petition on Wednesday, as indicated by Napa County Superior Court records accessible online.
The couple, who have been married since 2022, shares a four-year-old son.
CNN has reached out to representatives for Bella and Chigvintsev for comment.
