AceShowbiz - Nikki Garcia, former professional wrestler and reality star, has opened up about her challenges with body image post-pregnancy. In an interview with Us Weekly after divorcing Artem Chigvintsev, Garcia expressed her insecurities about her "mom bod" and concerns about how it might affect potential dating partners.

"I can definitely see myself falling in love again, but it won't be anytime soon," said Garcia, 41. "I think it's going to take me a while to get back in that place and also to just feel confident about my body."

Garcia explained that she is particularly concerned about the potential perception of her body by younger partners. She also expressed concerns about the physical changes that came from nursing her baby. "Mama needs her groove back first for herself," said Garcia.

Despite feeling generally great, she confessed her concerns were amplified when she took her clothes off. "You just kind of sadly start to dissect yourself. What if the person isn't a dad and he doesn't understand a 'mom bod?' " she questioned.

Garcia is currently not interested in marriage or having more children. She does not want to sign any legal documents again and prefers to explore alternative commitment ceremonies if she finds the right person.

As for her co-parenting experience with Chigvintsev, Garcia described it as "really hard and very emotional." She admitted to crying every time their son, Matteo, leaves her home. However, she noted that Matteo is happy and unaffected by the situation.

Garcia and Chigvintsev tied the knot in Paris in 2022, but their marriage ended two years later. Chigvintsev was arrested on suspicion of corporal injury to a spouse, but the charges were later dropped. The couple reached a divorce settlement and co-parenting agreement in late 2024.
