The decision to settle quickly was driven by the desire to move forward and avoid mounting legal costs and emotional strain. While their relationship remains strained, both are reportedly making efforts to cooperate, especially for the sake of their 4-year-old son, Matteo.
Nikki’s representative emphasized that her top priority is her son’s well-being and maintaining privacy during this challenging time. She also expressed gratitude for the support she has received.
The details of the settlement have not been disclosed. However, a judge previously ordered the two to share custody of Matteo. Artem had sought spousal support, but Nikki contested this in her filing, making it unclear how that matter was resolved.
The divorce follows a turbulent period, including Artem’s domestic violence arrest in August, though no charges were filed. Both had also filed restraining orders against each other, which have now been dismissed as part of the settlement.
The agreement was reached just weeks before their divorce trial was set to begin, allowing both to move forward and leave the past behind.
