Nikki Garcia hasn’t had fun between the sheets in quite some time following her messy divorce, apparently!
Perezcious readers know the 42-year-old pro wrestler divorced Artem Chigvintsev in November 2024 after two years of marriage. And since the breakup, she has dipped her toes in the dating pond. She joined the dating app Raya because she got “lonely in hotel rooms” while traveling for work after coming out of retirement for WWE. She was most recently linked to 23-year-old Philadelphia Eagles player Cooper DeJean — though that didn’t seem to go anywhere.

Other than that, we haven’t heard much about Nikki’s love life… because it turns out she doesn’t really have one right now! She revealed to Us Weekly on Saturday that she has been “super celibate” at this point:
“I’m pretty much like a nun at this point. Super celibate. I should just put on a ring. I wish I was out there getting wild. I just don’t have energy for it.”
It’s not like she doesn’t have a wing woman helping her out! She does! Her sister, Brie Garcia, said she’s “been trying” to set up the reality star on dates recently. However, Nikki’s main focus is on something else — her 5-year-old son Matteo, whom she shares with Artem. Brie explained:
“She’s too busy, and I get it. Matteo is her world right now. She’s like, ‘I have no time between being on the road, our wine company and our podcast, and then Matteo.’ I try. But she’s like, ‘No, no.’ This is the thing with her: If she has a free night, she wants to Netflix and chill. She’s like, ‘I don’t want to go on a date. I don’t have to dress up.’”
Girl, we get it! Dating takes a lot of effort and energy sometimes!
Brie isn’t giving up, though! She’s determined to find someone for her sister! She continued:
“I still keep my eyes open. There’s been some prospects.”
It doesn’t come as a shock Nikki’s not into dating too much. When the Bella twin signed up for Raya, she shared that she only wanted to text people and wasn’t looking for anything serious. And she’s not for a long time:
“I don’t want anything now. Like, I don’t want anything serious for years, because I don’t want anything to interfere with my son and I. And I don’t want my son to meet anyone. I just want him to have his mom and his dad, and that’s it. I think that’s healthy for him right now. So, I don’t want anything like that to happen for like, years, and I don’t even want to give my energy to someone. Like, I’m raising him, and that’s all I want to give my energy and time to. I think it would just be fun to text people.”
If Nikki ever decides to date seriously, whoever she ends up with better treat her right… and show her a fun time!
