Nikki Garcia doesn't want to be "legally" married again.

The 41-year-old retired professional wrestler tied the knot with 'Dancing with the Stars' professional Artem Chigvintsev -with whom she has four-year-old son Matteo - in 2022 but they called time on their marriage two years later and has now admitted that she doesn't want to ever have to "sign paperwork" for a relationship again.

She told UsWeekly: "I can definitely see myself falling in love again. I don't think it's going to be anytime soon.

"I've talked to people about this. There [are] commitment ceremonies. I'm like, 'I don't ever want to sign paperwork again. No, thank you. Yeah, you could still have a wedding. It's just more of a commitment ceremony. You can wear rings, but you don't need to sign papers.

"I don't want to be legally [bound]. We could talk about changing names way in the future if this person is my person. [But] no paperwork!"

The WWE star - who was known as Nikki Bella during her performances in the ring - also admitted that she has found co-parenting with Arem to be "tough" since their split.

 

She said: "What's crazy about co-parenting is you get a schedule. It's wild that one day it's like, 'OK, here are the days you get your son,' and that's just what you do.

"For me, that part is incredibly tough. I had never been in our home without him.

"So getting through those days is extremely difficult because I just love being around my son so much.

"I've used words like divorce, [but] it's only been when he's asked. Everything's kind of been about us just having our own homes. You get to go see Mommy and you get to go see Daddy.

"On Christmas, we made sure we were both there when we baked Santa's cookies. Matteo went to bed and we both were there when he woke up. Because he's our focus, we want to keep those moments."
