Nikki Garcia is praising her ex-husband, Artem Chigvintsev, when it comes to co-parenting their 5-year-old son, Matteo.

The WWE star, 41, gave rare comments about the dancing pro on her podcast with her sister, Brie, sharing that he’s been supportive of her decision to return to wrestling.

“I have to give it to Artem, who’s been amazing in adapting to my schedule,” she said on Thursday’s episode of “The Nikki & Brie Show.”

” And I get Matteo almost more, and he lets me. Like, he’s amazing,” she continued.

Nikki, whose divorce from Chigvintsev, 43, was finalized in May, said their son was doing great amid their changing dynamics.

“We’ve adapted well and Matteo’s thriving,” she said.

Brie also had kind words about the situation, telling Nikki, “You and Artem have been a great team.”

Of course, the exes weren’t always on such friendly terms.

In September 2024, Nikki requested full legal and physical custody of Matteo. The former couple was granted joint custody a month later, despite Nikki’s request that Chigvinstev get only supervised visitation and take anger management classes.

They were also ordered to attend individual therapy and parenting classes.

The two started dating after being paired together on “Dancing With the Stars” in 2017. They got married in August 2022 in Paris, two years after Matteo’s birth.

The pair split shortly after their second wedding anniversary.

At the time, Chigvintsev was arrested on felony domestic violence charges, though he denied any wrongdoing, claiming his then-wife had been the aggressor.

The charges were dropped in September 2024.

According to Nikki and Chigvintsev’s divorce agreement, the “Total Bellas” star is paying her ex $3,500 a month in child support, TMZ reported in May.

Garcia also reportedly agreed to give Chigvintsev two $100,000 lump sums.
