Nikki Garcia Lists Date of Separation as the Day of Artem Chigvintsev's Domestic Violence Arrest in Divorce Docs

The former WWE star is also requesting legal and physical custody of the couple’s 4-year-old son, Matteo with the professional dancer having visitation rights

Nikki Garcia and Artem Chigvintsev are going their separate ways nearly two weeks after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence.

The former WWE star filed for divorce in Napa, California on Wednesday, Sept. 11. In the divorce filing obtained by PEOPLE, Garcia, 40, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

Garcia listed the date of separation as Aug. 29, the same day that Chigvintsev, 42, was arrested on a charge of corporal injury to a spouse in Napa Valley, California, according to the documents.

Garcia also requested the court terminate spousal support for both parties and give her legal and physical custody of the couple’s 4-year-old son, Matteo, with the professional dancer having visitation rights, the filing states.

TMZ was the first to report the news.

A rep for the reality star also confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE that Garcia, 40, filed for divorce, adding, “She continues to ask for privacy for her and her family at this time.”

The filing comes nearly two weeks after the Dancing with the Stars pro was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and booked in the Napa County Jail and given a $25,000 bail before being released in less than an hour, according to intake records obtained by PEOPLE.

While it was never explicitly confirmed, Garcia is presumably the spouse in question. According to the dispatcher heard on the outlet's audio, Chigvintsev alleged that Garcia threw shoes at him during the argument.

At the time, a rep for Garcia told PEOPLE, "This is a private matter and Nikki asks for privacy for her and her family at this time."

Rumors about their split continued to grow when Garcia was allegedly spotted without her wedding ring while making her first public appearance at Netflix's Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef, a live hot dog-eating competition she co-hosted with Rob Riggle on Sept. 2.
