Artem Chigvintsev arrested for domestic violence

‘Dancing With The Stars’ pro Artem Chigvintsev was arrested Thursday morning on suspicion of domestic violence.

Chigvintsev, 42, was booked into the Napa County Jail on domestic violence charges. His bail was set at $25,000. A Napa police spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Chigvintsev is married to WWE alum Nikki Garcia, who posted an Instagram story on Wednesday revealing she was also in Napa. Garcia will co-host Netflix’s live competitive eating event, “Chestnut VS. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef,” on Monday.

The choreographer has participated in twelve seasons of ‘Dancing With the Stars’, including the last four in a row. He won season 29 with Kaitlyn Bristowe and finished in fourth place last season with former Bachelorette Charity Lawson.

Variety confirmed that he would not be part of the upcoming season 33 cast.

Chigvintsev and Garcia (formerly Bella) met when they were partners on Season 25 of ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ The duo have one son, Matteo, and tied the knot in 2022. Three days before his arrest, both posted on Instagram to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
