Artem Chigvintsev gushed about his love for wife Nikki Garcia on their second anniversary just days before his arrest for domestic violence

As a longtime observer of celebrity relationships, I find myself both saddened and shocked by the recent turn of events involving Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev. Their journey from dance partners to loving parents seemed like a fairy tale come true, filled with ups and downs that any couple can relate to.


Artem Chigvintsev publicly expressed his affection for his spouse, Nikki Garcia, in a social media tribute marking their second wedding anniversary, mere days prior to his detention on allegations of domestic violence.

On Thursday, August 29th, the professional dancer from Dancing with the Stars posted a $25,000 bond following his early morning arrest in Yountville, California.

On August 26th, Chigvintsev (aged 42) posted some pictures from his and Garcia’s wedding along with the message: “Happy anniversary, my dear! I can’t imagine my life without you. You are my world.”

Garcia commented on the post writing, ‘Happy Anniversary Click. Love you so much!’

Previously known WWE champion, now aged 40, posted a collection of wedding snaps taken in Paris, accompanied by the soothing tune “Can’t Help Falling in Love” sung by Haley Reinhart.

She expressed the lyrics of the song, commenting, ‘This tune symbolizes our love tale. I’ll forever remember the moment I inquired about Artem from Jesus, during a divine conversation with Him and God. The emotions I felt seemed premature. Everything moved so quickly. Then this song played, and that’s when I realized I was falling for him, and it was all destined to happen.’ ✨ (She said)

‘Happy Anniversary @theartemcI love you! ❤️‍’

Because laws safeguard the identities of domestic violence victims, the Napa County Sheriff’s Office has chosen not to disclose the name, gender, or age of the accused victim. However, records acquired by People suggest that the individual in question was charged for causing bodily harm to a spouse.

However, deputies said there was sufficient evidence to make an arrest. 

In the context of felony domestic violence cases, the Napa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, Henry Wofford, stated to Dailymail.com on Thursday that their investigations are not based on rumors or hearsay. Instead, they rely on what they have directly observed as evident.

Wofford clarified, ‘I’m not claiming this was the scenario in this specific incident, but occasionally there might be signs such as blood, scratches, or bruises, which would lead to an arrest being made by the deputies based on what they saw.’

Law enforcement officials conversed with Chigvintsev and apprehended him on charges of severe domestic violence, as reported by Wofford to Dailymail.com yesterday. He further stated that the dance professional was compliant and did not resist or struggle against our officers in any way.

Chigvintsev and Garcia first met when they were paired up for DWTS season 25 in 2017.

Following the split between John Cena and his ex-fiancée Garcia (formerly known as Nikki Bella), they rekindled their bond and made their relationship official in the year 2019.

They welcomed their son, Matteo, in 2020, and tied the knot in 2022. 

On the Tamron Hall Show in November 2020, Garcia disclosed that she and Chigvintsev had been attending therapy sessions, as reported by People magazine.

Artem and I have always been curious about finding a solution that works for both Matteo and our relationship: What’s the right approach in this situation?

During a podcast conversation with her sister Brie, now known as The Nikki and Brie Show, in November 2021, Garcia revealed that they were in a better place following a challenging time.

During that period, the pair had been apart for several weeks because of their respective commitments: DWTS for one, being a contestant, and Garcia, serving as a judge on America’s Got Talent: The Extreme Version.

‘[We] had to get back into therapy. You know, distance is really hard,’ she explained.

Teo always accompanies his mother, she mentioned. That’s where he feels at ease, and that’s where he thrives the most. It’s been a struggle for both Artem and myself, as we’ve gone without having my partner by our side in our bed for more than six to seven weeks.

Since news of the arrest, fans have reached out to Garcia in support.

One person suggested, ‘May he not have touched you. Remember your value and leave if he has,’ was their advice.

In my own words, here’s what was written: “I never blindly believe the seemingly endless joy portrayed in social media updates. I hope you’re staying safe and taking good care of yourself, Nikki.”

Originally enamored with Artem Chigvintsev, a previous fan expresses disappointment and disapproval: “His luster has diminished in my eyes now… I used to be a big fan until this behavior! It’s unacceptable to argue physically, especially with your partner. That’s just distasteful!”

‘Looking at this photo from the wedding, it’s hard to believe what has happened since then – being arrested for domestic violence today. Oh dear, things certainly took an unexpected and dramatic turn. I can only hope that whatever transpired was a misinterpretation for those involved.’

“The happiest-looking couples on social media often face the greatest challenges in their actual relationships…still, many people treat what they see online as genuine,” argued the other person.

Maksim Chigvintsev won’t appear on Dancing with the Stars Season 33, a decision that was reportedly made before his arrest, as stated by People magazine.
