Artem Chigvintsev, a professional dancer on “Dancing With the Stars,” was recently arrested for alleged domestic violence towards his wife, Nikki Bella. Sources close to the couple revealed that their marriage had been troubled for a while, with past arguments focusing on control and belittlement. The couple had reportedly gone to couples’ therapy due to Chigvintsev’s behavior. Bella’s husband was arrested following a dispute at their Napa home, where he made a call for medical assistance after Bella threw shoes at him. Chigvintsev was released on bail and has not spoken out publicly about the incident.
The couple, who met in 2017 on “DWTS,” had celebrated their second wedding anniversary just three days before Chigvintsev’s arrest. Despite their difficulties, Bella had previously spoken positively about their relationship on social media. Chigvintsev, who has been a part of “DWTS” since 2014, will not be returning for the next season, as the decision was reportedly made before his arrest.
Nikki Bella has asked for privacy during this challenging time, and friends and former co-stars have expressed shock and concern over the situation. Domestic violence is a serious issue, and resources are available for those in need of help. If you or someone you know is affected by domestic violence, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline for support.
