‘Dancing With The Stars’ Pro Artem Chigvintsev Gets Arrested For Domestic Violence

Buy Me A Coffee

In what can only be described as a plot twist no one saw coming, Dancing with the Stars veteran Artem Chigvintsev took a cha-cha into the Napa County Jail on Thursday (August 29), and unfortunately, this wasn’t for a live performance. Artem, known for his fancy footwork and spinning celebs around the dance floor, found himself booked on a felony domestic violence charge. And nope, this isnโ€™t a weird DWTS challengeโ€”this is real life.

Now, Artemโ€™s better half is none other than WWE legend and one half of the Bella twins, Nikki Garcia. You know, because when you’re a professional dancer, you should probably marry a pro wrestler. It’s only fair. But hereโ€™s the kicker: no one knows if Nikki had anything to do with the incident, and sheโ€™s been as silent as a referee in an empty wrestling ring. Mums the word, but trust me, weโ€™re all refreshing Instagram like itโ€™s our full-time job waiting for a statement.

The 42-year-old (yes, time flies when youโ€™re twirling around in sparkly outfits) reportedly got himself tangoed up with the law, and TMZ was the first to spill the tea. They claim itโ€™s all public record, because of course it isโ€”nothing says โ€œprivate lifeโ€ like your personal drama on a public website! Oh, and did I mention that Nikki was allegedly in Napa too? It’s like the plot of a reality show we didn’t ask for but can’t stop watching. Theyโ€™ve even got a house there! Details, however, are about as scarce as Artemโ€™s shirt on any given dance routine.

The couple has a 4-year-old son, Matteo, who, letโ€™s be honest, is probably more interested in building LEGO forts than whatever is going down in Napa. Just two days before this whole debacle, Nikki posted a gushy anniversary message on Instagram with all the classic ingredients: hearts, fire emojis, and professions of undying love. Sigh Nothing says โ€œromanceโ€ like a spontaneous trip to jail, right?

Oh, and speaking of DWTS, Variety confirmed that Artem isnโ€™t returning to the show this season. Yup, looks like heโ€™s been benched again. Maybe his moves are just too hot to handle, or maybe, just maybe, they were worried his jailhouse rock might overshadow the tango. Either way, it looks like his dance card is fullโ€”just not in the way he expected.

Stay tuned, because this saga might just end with a cha-cha behind bars.
