After a difficult divorce from dancer Artem Chigvintsev, Nikki Bella is confidently sharing glamorous photos on social media.

WWE star Nikki Garcia, who turned 42, shared the information while celebrating her birthday with her twin sister Brie on their podcast, ‘The Nikki & Brie Show’.

Nikki, wearing a revealing black top and a sparkly choker necklace, admitted she’s been posting a lot of attention-grabbing photos online lately.

She explained that she posts attention-seeking photos when she’s feeling needy, saying, ‘Take advantage of it while you can. I’m really into posting those kinds of pictures now because sometimes I just need people to notice me, and that’s when I do it.’

Nikki hasn’t dated anyone since her breakup with Artem last year and admits she’s not even been exchanging texts with anyone. As a result, she’s been seeking attention through social media.

She explained that because she avoids texting and social media, she sometimes needs to post revealing photos online just to feel noticed or validated.

She added that she’s comfortable with it herself and actually enjoys seeing other women embrace it. She always shows them support, because everyone needs a little encouragement sometimes.

Last month, WWE diva Nikki went viral after flaunting her incredible physique on Netflix’s Raw.

The wrestler displayed her physique in new blue wrestling attire during a very close match against Roxanne Perez.

The mother of one quickly became the most talked-about topic on X, formerly known as Twitter, as wrestling fans filled the platform with compliments about how she looks.

People were quick to praise Nikki Bella’s appearance, with one fan saying she ‘aged like fine wine’ and another commenting that she ‘doesn’t age’ and ‘continues to look amazing’.

One person remarked that they didn’t recall Nikki Bella ever showcasing a cake like that in 2015, adding that she looks great and improves with age.

Nikki has started dating again after her divorce from Artem.

I was absolutely gutted when I heard about this! My queen, this incredible WWE diva, revealed she had to pay a whopping $200,000 to her ex as part of their divorce settlement. Two hundred THOUSAND dollars of her hard-earned money! It just doesn’t seem fair, she deserves everything, and to have to give that away… it breaks my heart for her, honestly.

I was relieved to hear the judge set a clear plan for Matteo, Nikki’s and my ex’s four-year-old son. The judge ordered Nikki to contribute $3,500 each month to help with his care, which feels like a responsible step forward for our little guy.

Based on court records, the parents have agreed to share the expenses for their child’s activities and will have joint custody.

On the Nikki & Brie Show podcast, the reality star openly discussed the details of her separation from Artem and gave fans a sincere update on their current relationship.

We reached a settlement, and yes, I paid him $200,000 in spousal support and alimony,” she explained. Her twin sister, Brie, added, “That’s just what happens when one partner earns more than the other.”

Nikki said the $200,000 settlement wasn’t upsetting at all – she surprisingly told listeners she felt like she actually got a great deal.

‘Which is crazy to say,’ she added.

The reality TV star also shared a surprising statement made by the judge during their confidential mediation session.

Nikki remembered the judge saying, “This is the first time in my entire career that a woman has been ordered to pay a man.”

‘”You should be so damn proud that you built such an empire that someone wants a piece of it.”‘

The comment hit hard — but also struck a nerve of pride.

She said, “It felt good to hear that, even though it’s painful knowing I risked everything – even my health – to earn that money.” She emphasized, “That money represents everything I worked so hard for.”

Nikki shared that she told the judge she would make sure any future husband signs a prenuptial agreement.

Nikki stated she has no problem with the $3,500 monthly child support payment, emphasizing that her priority is Matteo’s well-being.

She explained that child support is meant to ensure a child enjoys a similar standard of living in both parents’ homes. She feels it’s a simple matter of fairness – making sure her son, Matteo, has a good life and equal opportunities, regardless of where he is.

Despite the split and drama, Nikki said she and Artem are finally in a solid place.

Honestly, seeing how well we’re co-parenting Matteo just fills my heart! It’s seriously the best thing for him, and I can’t imagine it any other way. It’s perfect, truly perfect, watching them make it work for him.

She emphasized that the divorce wasn’t related to Artem’s August 2024 arrest in Napa County, where he was suspected of domestic violence. Ultimately, no charges were brought against him.

Artem shared with People that he felt ‘incredibly relieved and grateful’ when the case was dismissed. He said it had been a very challenging period for him, and he was happy the truth came out.

As a dad, my priorities are crystal clear: my son, Matteo, is the greatest gift, and I’m fully committed to giving him all the love, support, and care he needs as we navigate life together. That’s what matters most to me right now.
