WWE Hall of Famer and one of the most popular female professional wrestlers of this generation, Nikki Bella's husband, Artem Chigvintsev, has been arrested for domestic violence in Yountville, California also known as the Napa Valley.

According to the initial info released through TMZ, Chigvintsev was arrested, and thereafter booked into Napa County Jail yesterday morning on a felony domestic battery charge. "The victim in the case has asked for total confidentiality," the source added.

It's still unknown if Nikki Bella was the victim in this battery case but the news is making headlines just after she celebrated her wedding anniversary in Napa. The ex-WWE Star shared the news on her Instagram Story but Chigvintsev wasn't there in the posted photo.

Reports mention that local authorities responded to a domestic violence call before 10 AM local time at a location in Yountville and that is where Chingvintsev was arrested and later booked on a felony domestic violence charge with bail set at $25,000.

A call was made around 8:30 AM to 911, reporting a "medical emergency" while a second call from the house canceled the request. But the situation had further escalated, leading to Chigvintsev's arrest on charges of felony corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant.

Injuries were reportedly involved in the incident as investigations are currently underway on whether there's a history of domestic violence involving the dancer-cum-reality TV star. Hailing from Russia, he's fully cooperating with the officials.

A release from Napa County Sheriff's Office informed that the alleged victim has been willing to speak with investigators, "The alleged victim in the Artem Chigvintsev domestic violence case is cooperating with police ... and we're told investigators want to see if there's a history of domestic violence here."

Being a global star, Nikki Bella, currently going by the name of Nikki Garcia, has been trending on the internet. As of this writing, she maintained silence on the matter, raising curiosity about her well-being among the pro-wrestling fans.

The elder Bella met Chigvintsev on the "Dancing With The Stars" reality show in 2019 and got married to him in August 2022. They have a 4-year-old son named Matteo and they also own a home together in Napa Valley.
