Nikki Bella to Pay Ex Artem $3,500 Monthly in Child Support Plus $200K Settlement
Nikki Bella is shelling out serious money to her ex Artem Chigvintsev following their finalized divorce settlement — including monthly child support and a hefty six-figure payout.
The former WWE star agreed to pay Artem $3,500 per month to support their son, Matteo. In addition to the monthly payments, Nikki will also pay Artem a $200,000 lump sum — with $100K paid upfront and the remaining balance due before the end of this year.
Under the agreement, Nikki will also take full responsibility for their son’s speech therapy costs. However, both parents will split the expenses for any extracurricular activities.
As part of the settlement, Nikki retains full control of her business entities, including Stephanie Nicole Garcia Entertainment and her Bonita Bonita brand.
When it comes to custody, the pair will alternate major holidays with Matteo, ensuring shared parenting time throughout the year.
Their split wasn’t without drama — Artem was arrested in August 2024 following a domestic incident. Nikki later filed a restraining order, and Artem responded by accusing her of being the aggressor. Despite the tension, both parties reached a legal agreement in November 2024, which was just recently approved by the judge.
