Looks like Nikki Garcia is taking a page out of Miley Cyrus’ lyric book.
The former WWE athlete was spotted buying herself flowers on Monday amid her messy divorce battle from estranged husband Artem Chigvintsev.
Garcia – who was granted a restraining order against her ex earlier this month – was photographed grabbing some groceries at a Trader Joe’s in Napa Valley, Calif. While her shopping bags were filled with other goodies, it appears she also picked up two bouquets of orange flowers.

SL, Terma / BACKGRIDThe “Total Bellas” star, 40, kept it casual in a white mock neck sleeveless crop top, black leggings and black platform flip flops. She tied a white-and-brown plaid jacket around her waist, and kept her hair pulled back into a tight bun.
The photos were taken just a few days after she and Chigvintsev, 42, were both granted restraining orders against each other.
Garcia was the first one to obtain the protection last Thursday. She claimed in her filing that the former “Dancing With the Stars” pro became “increasingly angry, snapping at [her] and yelling” during their heated argument on Aug. 29, which resulted in Chigvintsev’s arrest for alleged domestic violence.

Garcia further alleged that Chigvintsev “tackled [her] multiple times and pinned [her] to the ground” while their 4-year-old son, Matteo, was reportedly present.
However, Chigvintsev was also granted a restraining order later that same day after claiming that Garcia was actually the aggressor during the dispute.
“Mr. Chigvintsev contacted law enforcement on 8/29/24 seeking protection from his wife’s persistent aggression,” his lawyer, Ilona Antonyan, alleged at the time.
Chigvintsev went into detail over the argument and even provided pics of the alleged scratches on his elbow and hands from Garcia, as seen in photos obtained by The Post on Friday.
Both the “Total Bellas” alum and the “Dancing With the Stars” pro have obtained restraining orders against the other. nikkigarcia/Instagram Chigvintsev included photos of the scratches Garcia allegedly gave him in his own filing.

The charges were later dropped.
“I am incredibly relieved and grateful that the domestic violence charges against me have been dropped,” the Russian dancer said in a statement on Sept. 25. “This has been an extremely difficult time for me. I am thankful that the truth has prevailed.”
Garcia subsequently filed to divorce Chigvintsev after two years of marriage on Sept. 11.
