WWE star Nikki Garcia opens up about her struggles specifically since her divorce from DWTS alum Artem Chigvintsev in a tearful and raw video. Garcia has finally decided to showcase what she has been going through for months now as she breaks her silence and reveals to her fans exactly how much pain and sadness the breakup has caused her.
Opening Up About Heartbreak
On the latest episode of “The Nikki & Brie Show,” Nikki Garcia revealed how vulnerable she has been, confessing to “super weak moments” since announcing in September 2024 that she was parting ways with Artem Chigvintsev. Garcia, who, up until recently, had been mostly stoic as the world bore witness to the end of her marriage, released a little emotion about how hard this divorce process has been for her.
“I’m not gonna lie, there are days that I feel like I’m just not strong enough, and I have had super weak moments,” Garcia confided. Her candor regarding her situation really hit home with listeners, many of whom have followed her relationship with Artem, especially since the two welcomed their child and became one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples.
The Pain of Public Scrutiny
Garcia also spoke about how the publicity of the divorce has multiplied her heartbreak. While her decision to separate from him had been reached in private well before the news broke, all the ensuing media frenzy and public interest have just made it a whole lot more overwhelming.
The worst part is that it feels like the world is watching, and it makes everything harder,” Garcia admitted. “There are moments when you just want to be alone, but it feels like you’re being judged from every angle.
Throughout the ordeal, Nikki has leaned on her family for support, particularly her twin sister, Brie Garcia. “Having Brie by my side and my family has been the one thing that’s kept me going,” Nikki explained. “I really do rely on their love and support.”
Growth Through Pain
Nikki Garcia has tried to emphasize the personal growth she is undergoing during this difficult period. While pain exists, as quite evident, she understands that pain is a part of healing.
I feel like this is probably the most challenging experience of my life, yet at the same time, it has forced me to confront pieces of myself that I did need to address,” she says. “It’s definitely not easy, but every day, I am learning a little more about myself.”.
Garcia said she had “weak moments,” and this, in itself, being openly admitted to her audience, provides an avenue of relatability for many. She has just gone through a very public divorce and is showing strength not by covering the fact that everything is OK but by allowing herself to feel the pain and to express it.
Focusing on Co-Parenting
Despite the emotional toll, Nikki Garcia has made it clear that her priority remains her child with Artem. The couple has been quite committed to co-parenting, and for Nikki, that is what matters most in their relationship going forward.
“I want what’s best for our son, and that’s what I’m focusing on,” Garcia said firmly. “It’s been hard, but we are trying to keep things amicable for him.”
The commitment herein made to prioritize their child’s well-being reflects a mature and responsible approach to their situation, despite personal hurt. She further said that she and Artem had been trying to keep the co-parenting dynamic healthy even with all the emotions from the split.
Looking Ahead
As Nikki Garcia continues to navigate this difficult chapter in her life, she remains open about the ups and downs. While the future is uncertain, she’s resolute in her belief that this period of vulnerability will eventually lead to healing.
“I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring, but I’m focused on today,” she said. “I know that with time, things will get better.”
For Nikki, this isn’t just a period of heartbreak but one of growth, self-discovery, and learning to find strength even in her weakest moments.
