Nikki Garcia wonders if she still knows "how to kiss" because she has not shared an intimate moment with someone in "a really long time."
The WWE Hall of Famer filed for divorce from 43-year-old dancer Artem Chigvintsev in September 2024, which was settled in November that year, three months after his domestic violence arrest - which was dropped with no charges.

A romance between Nikki, 42, and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean has been speculated since she shared a clip of herself smiling and posing in front of the 22-year-old star's locker - but it now seemingly appears Nikki has quashed those rumours.
Chatting to her twin sister, Brie Garcia, on the latest episode of their SiriusXM The Nikki and Brie Show, Nikki - who recently said her ideal celebrity men are actors Channing Tatum, 45, and 42 year old Chris Hemsworth - said: "It's crazy because I actually haven't been touched or done anything in so long.
"It's funny when people call me a w**** when I actually haven't had intimacy in a really long time, [or even thought] of kissing.
"I haven't even kissed someone in so long. It's, like, kind of crazy. I was thinking of this last night. 'Do I know how to kiss?'"
Former professional wrestler Brie replied: "You do. It's like riding a bike."
Nikki - who met Artem when they were partnered up on Dancing with the Stars in 2017, whilst she was engaged to the 48-year-old recently-retired WWE legend, John Cena - joked: "I'm about to make out with my pillow to make sure I still got it."
Nikki and Artem reconnected after she split from John in 2018 after six years together, and the wrestler and the dancer got engaged in November 2019, with them getting married in August 2022.
However, Nikki filed for divorce from Artem in September 2024, after he was arrested at their Napa Valley, California, home on suspicion of domestic violence - which was dropped with no charges, and their divorce was settled in November that year.
In July 2025, Nikki - who has a five-year-old son called Matteo with Artem - revealed she would love a man with "edge" and "swag".
The Total Divas star told People: "I need edge. I like a proper boy, but if he's too proper, I'm like, 'Hmm, I can't do it.'
"So I want edge, I want swag, but I want someone who can run a boardroom, who can get in the gym."
