Dancing With the Stars veteran Artem Chigvintsev is currently behind bars after being arrested on domestic violence charges in Napa, California, TMZ reported today.
The arrest occurred just three days after Chigvintsev celebrated his wedding anniversary with wife Nikki Garcia.
It’s unknown at this time if Garcia was involved in the incident that led to Chigvintsev’s arrest.
It’s worth noting, however, that on Wednesday, Garcia posted an Instagram post indicating that she was also in Napa.
The couple met in 2019 after being partnered together on DWTS.
Garcia, a retired WWE wrestler and TV personality, was Chigvintsev’s celebrity counterpart.
Earlier this week, she paid tribute to Chigvintsev in a post celebrating the couple’s anniversary.
Along with the lyrics to Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” Garcia wrote:
“This song is our love story. I’ll never forget where I was when I asked Jesus about Artem.
“Having a conversation with He & God. How my feelings felt too soon. It all felt too fast. And then this song came on.”
“That’s when I knew that I was falling in love with him and that it was all meant to be.
In a comment on the post, Chigvintsev referred to Garcia as his “everything.”
“Happy anniversary my love, can’t see my life without you,” he added.
The couple shares a four-year-old son together.
TMZ is reporting that Chigvintsev’s bail has been set at $25,000.
We have no information regarding whether the charges are felonies or misdemeanors, or how many counts Chigvintsev has been charged with.
Details are scarce at the moment, and it would be a mistake to make any assumptions about this situation.
But the lack of any public comment from Garcia has led many to jump to the conclusion that she was involved in the incident.
TMZ reports that they’ve reached out to both parties and have yet to receive a response.
We will continue to monitor the situation, and we’ll keep you updated as new information becomes available.
