Now, two months after the divorce filing, Nikki and Artem have taken another step to end their union.
“Nikki and Artem have settled their divorce and will not be going to court,” a spokesperson for the Total Bellas alum confirmed to E! News on Nov. 20. “Nikki’s No. 1 priority has always been her son and privacy on the matter. She is thankful for all of the love and support she has received during this difficult time.”
At the top of that list of supporters: Her day one.
“Nikki isn’t here because, as you all know, she’s going through something personal in her life,” Brie said on a Sept. 23 episode of their podcast, “and she just asks for her privacy for her and her family so we’re going to give that. But she sees all the support and love and we are always grateful for all of your love and support.”
And Brie continues to be in her corner.
“Nikki’s going through it, but I’m her sister. And I feel like, in this weird way, I’m going through a lot with her,” she added on an Oct. 21 episode after hearing challenges their listeners have faced. “So when I hear a lot of you, it makes me feel not alone. I know at times, when we’re family members, and someone in our family’s going through something hard, we feel it right? If you’re a family member or a friend and you see any of your friends or family going through something tough, call them, check up on them. Make sure they’re OK. Let them express themselves.”
To mark their birthdays, look back at photos of Nikki and Brie over the years.
