“Brie encouraged Nikki to get out of the marriage. Violence of any kind is not tolerated, and they were very concerned about Nikki and her son,” a source told Entertainment Tonight. The insider also confirmed that Garcia and the Dancing With the Stars pro dancer “are no longer living under the same roof” because the domestic violence incident has left her “scared and upset.”

The pro dancer was arrested on August 29 but was released on bail a few hours later, which cost him $25,000. The source told the media outlet that Chigvintsev “is not prepared to deal with everything that comes his way.”

Earlier, friends close to the couple revealed the incident wasn’t completely shocking as their relationship has always been “volatile.” Garcia filed for divorce on Wednesday, a week after TMZ reported that she was seeking legal advice and lawyers.

Gracia and Chigvintsev’s expectations from separation

According to the divorce documents, Garcia was asked for sole physical and legal custody of their son, as well as visitation rights for her husband. She also asked for an exemption from spousal maintenance. However, the pro dancer requested joint physical and legal custody of their child in addition to spousal support, including legal fees and attorneys, as reported by Page Six. The two got married in August 2022 and the separation due to a domestic violence incident happened just days after celebrating their second anniversary. They welcomed their son in August 2020.
