What Did Artem Chigvintsev Do? All We Know As Dancing With The Stars Pro Gets Arrested

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience in following celebrity lives and relationships, I must say that the news about Artem Chigvintsev‘s arrest is quite shocking, especially considering his seemingly blissful relationship with Nikki Garcia. The couple, who recently celebrated their anniversary, seemed to be deeply in love, as evidenced by their heartfelt social media posts and Nikki’s emotional Instagram stories.


Artem Chigvintsev, a popular figure from Dancing with the Stars, has been taken into custody in Napa Valley. The renowned individual is facing allegations related to domestic violence against his partner, Nikki Garcia.

On August 29, 2024, at approximately 10 AM, the skilled dancer was taken into custody and immediately booked into the Napa County Jail. Yet, by the end of that day, Chigvintsev had been freed on bond, after posting a substantial amount.

According to PEOPLE’s investigation of the booking records, the Dancing with the Stars star was set free on a $25,000 bond for allegedly causing bodily harm to his spouse. It appears that Nikki Garcia, previously known as Nikki Bella, is the person involved in this incident.

One day after their wedding anniversary, an incident occurred, coincidentally on the same day when Garcia shared an Instagram Story about her visit to Napa for a facial. This post included an update for her followers, and she also shared a video showcasing highlights of her and Artem’s relationship history as a WWE alum.

In this clip, she included the lyrics to Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” as part of her Instagram stories’ captions. She also mentioned that this song symbolizes their love story and shared that she will always remember the moment when she asked Jesus about Artem during a conversation with Him and God.

It’s possible to interpret it as well that at the moment when Garcia felt her emotions moving too quickly, Elvis Presley’s song began playing, serving as a sign to her that she was falling in love with Artem and that their relationship was destined.

In her social media post, Garcia extended her best wishes to Artem for their anniversary. Following this, Artem himself posted, “Happy anniversary, my love! I can’t imagine my life without you. You mean everything to me.”

In the year 2017, Garcia encountered Chigvintsev while they were both participating in Dancing with the Stars. At that time, Garcia was involved with wrestling sensation and actor John Cena, but their relationship ended about a year afterwards.

In late 2019, Nikki Garcia restored contact with Chigvintsev and it wasn’t long before they announced their romantic involvement. After about eight months, they became engaged and, more recently, in July 2020, they brought a new baby into the world.
