    Nikki Garcia is open to dating "but not marriage" following her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev

    The WWE star and the former 'Dancing With The Stars' professional settled their divorce in November, three months after his domestic violence arrest and Nikki insisted she will not tie the knot again


    When asked by Kristin Cavallari at a live show for her 'Let's Be Honest' podcast tour if she was "still open to love,", Nikki replied she's open to "love and not marriage".

    Kristin asked: "Really? You're never gonna get married again?" and Nikki replied: "Well I think maybe, but I don't wanna sign paperwork again."

    Kristin - who was married to Jay Cutler for seven years before their divorce in 2020 - commented that getting married is "so easy to do and so hard to get out of".

    Nikki, 41, agreed, saying: "I mean, so hard. At night, [I] think about it though. This is crazy, like, it was supposed to be an act of love and now I'm in prison. I'm definitely open to love for sure."

    And, she is "almost ready" to date again.

    Meanwhile, Artem, 42, has insisted his domestic violence arrest "completely ruined" his life.

    Artem was not charged after being arrested in August, but he insisted people still assume he is "guilty".

    He told the 'Glamourous Grind' podcast: "It completely ruined everything for me. From every angle, it ruined my life completely.

    "The worst part of all of this was because the [district attorney] dropped the case, clearly stating there was nothing they could possibly have charged me on."

    He added: "When people see that mugshot. For them, in their mind, you are immediately guilty.

    "There is nothing you can say or try to justify yourself to change their minds."

    Artem - who has four-year-old son Matteo with Nikki - noted there was no hesitation on his part when it came to ending the marriage.

    He explained: "I wanted it to be over. I needed to go back to live my life and I need to move on - emotionally, financially - and I just wanted my life to be normal again."
