AceShowbiz - Nikki Garcia, known for her wrestling career under the stage name Nikki Bella, made a stylish return to the spotlight on January 6. She attended the premiere of Netflix's WWE "Monday Night Raw" at Los Angeles' Intuit Dome, marking her first major red carpet appearance since settling her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev in November 2024.

Bella looked stunning in a full red leather ensemble, featuring a strapless bustier, matching pants with white detailing, and slingback heels. She accessorized her outfit with a "Ciao Bella" bag and oversized hoop earrings.

Bella's appearance comes two months after she and Chigvintsev mutually dropped restraining orders against each other and settled their divorce. The couple, who share a 4-year-old son, Matteo, split following Chigvintsev's arrest for alleged domestic violence, which he vehemently denied.

In the wake of the incident, Bella has spoken out about the impact of the divorce on her life. On an episode of her and Brie Bella's podcast, "The Nikki & Brie Show," she shared, "I've been heartbroken. You dream of having this family and you have this incredible love, and it just goes the other way."

Despite the challenges, Bella is determined to move forward. "Situations like this, divorce, whatever it may be, it takes a piece of you," she said in a later episode of the podcast. "It takes a piece of your heart that will never grow back or never be replaced, but it's 'How do we make that piece of you that's gone strong?' "

Bella shared the valuable lessons she learned from their tumultuous relationship and the importance of self-love. "We're here to lead by example. We are here to teach our children, nurture our children, teach others - lead by example - but we are not here to fix," she said on her podcast. "And it took me 41 years to realize that, and I'm definitely taking that into my 2025."
