Nikki Garcia has been spotted for the first time since estranged husband Artem Chigvintsev filed for joint custody of their four-year-old son Matteo and spousal support amid their ongoing divorce after his domestic violence arrest late last month.

The 40-year-old retired WWE star held her son on her hip while stepping out in Napa, California on Saturday morning.

The Dancing With The Stars pro, 42 — who removed Nikki from his Instagram profile before re-adding her — responded to his wife’s divorce filing this week, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for their split in documents obtained by Us Weekly.

He listed the date of separation as August 29 — the same day he was arrested for felony domestic violence charges following an alleged altercation at their home.

In addition to requesting 50/50 custody of Matteo, the Russian-born dancer has asked for spousal support, and that Garcia pay his legal fees, per the documents.

Garcia wore black, skintight, capri leggings and a matching low-cut sleeveless black top that flashed a sliver of her toned abdomen.

The mother-of-one, who was formerly known as Nikki Bella, slipped her red pedicured feet into a pair of black thong sandals.

Per TMZ, she was headed to take her toddler to a dance class and dressed the tot in black shorts, a black T-shirt, and black sneakers.

During some moments, the media personality wore a wide-brimmed visor as she pulled her lustrous raven locks into a messy bun.

And she carried multiple bags, including a dark backpack, a quilted black Chanel purse with a chain strap, and a beige tote with a brown strap.

The beauty appeared upbeat despite the drama in her life as she grabbed two green drinks and shielded her eyes with oversize black sunglasses.
