As a seasoned observer of celebrity lives, I must say that the news about Nikki Bella’s turbulent marriage with Artem Chigvintsev has left me quite disheartened. Having followed their journey from Dancing With The Stars to their beautiful wedding, it’s heart-wrenching to see such a public display of marital strife.


Artem Chigvintsev recently refreshed his Instagram profile once more, including his wife Nikki Garcia’s name back in, just under 24 hours since he initially took it off.

On Saturday, the professional dancer from Dancing With The Stars, aged 42, who was recently detained for domestic violence allegations, altered his Instagram profile by adding a link to Garcia’s, a fellow dancer aged 40, along with a bride and a diamond ring emoji.

In his profile, he mentions that his job is being a dancer, and furthermore, he acknowledges his 4-year-old son Matteo within his biography as well.

Additionally noted: ‘Pro dancer from DWTS who has been nominated for an Emmy Award for choreography, winner of the Mirror Ball Trophy on DWTS, and also a winner of the Mirror Ball Trophy on SCD.’

Last Friday, following his arrest on charges of inflicting corporal injury upon a cohabitant or spouse (as reported by TMZ), the Broadway performer decided to remove his wife’s tag from social media.

Despite being detained on August 29 in Napa County, California, Artem and Nikki continue to keep a connection through their mutual presence on a social media platform.

Following the latest reports, it seems the dancer is making efforts to save his marriage with Nikki, yet she feels strongly that divorce may be the best course of action.

Law enforcement officers responded to a reported dispute at a wealthy couple’s residence in Yountville, California, valued at approximately $1.5 million.

According to reports, the couple made two calls to 911. The initial call was seeking help due to an injury, but they later phoned again to ask that emergency responders stay away.

Despite the noise of a domestic dispute heard in the background, officers from the Napa County Sheriff’s Department still responded to the upscale neighborhood and eventually escorted Russian native Chigvintsev away with them.

He was booked into the Napa County Jail on felony domestic violence charges at 10:59 am before being released on a $25,000 bond at approximately 2.18am.

A photo from the Napa County Sheriff’s office depicts the ballroom celebrity with a somber expression, wearing a plaid shirt and a rough-edged beard.

Four days following their social media-celebrated August 2022 wedding anniversary, an arrest occurred, reportedly due to Garcia throwing shoes at her husband, not long after the joyous occasion.

And now Artem is said to be hellbent on proving to wife Nikki that he ‘can be a changed man.’

Although she’s reportedly prohibited Artem from visiting their four-year-old son Matteo without supervision and is looking for a divorce attorney, it’s been disclosed to DailyMail.com that he’s putting up an intense struggle to win her affection back, particularly since he’s no longer part of the upcoming season on DWTS.

They mentioned that Artem is deeply disappointed and angry because he wasn’t chosen for this season of Dancing with the Stars, and it seems unlikely he’ll return in the future.

‘His life professionally and personally is and has been flipped upside down.’

He’s unsure about his future actions with Nikki. He’s been distressed for some time now, battling to clear his name and regain Nikki’s affection. However, at this moment, he hasn’t made up his mind about any specific steps he might take to prove his change.

‘They currently have limited dialogue with each other.’

If Nikki encounters Matteo, she insists on there being supervision. After what happened, her trust in Artem has plummeted, and she’s furious with him. He’s got a tough road ahead to regain her favor. The situation, frankly, is a disaster.

Despite her best efforts to keep things going, Nikki realizes that divorce might be unavoidable. It’s painful, but Nikki is an incredibly resilient woman, choosing to act in the best interest of herself and Matteo.

Despite Artem’s best efforts to mend his marriage, it’s rumored that Nikki’s twin, Brie Garcia, wishes for Artem’s wife to end the relationship permanently.

This past week, a confidant near ex-WWE star Brie (aged 40) expressed distaste upon hearing about Artem’s arrest, advocating for her twin sister to cut all ties with him.

DailyMail.com was informed by Nikki that her sibling, Brie, feels a mix of revulsion, shock, dismay, and simple sorrow over the incident.

1) Artem’s affection is unexpected for her, given what she knows about herself. Brie finds the situation alarming and is fully supportive of her sister in every way possible.

‘Brie, who appears to be the most connected to Nikki, just like anyone else would, advises her to depart from Artem if things are as dire as they seem and if similar incidents occurred in the past. Once Brie learns all about what transpired, she will likely be the first to encourage Nikki to end the relationship with him.’

The two-year marriage between Nikki and Artem was said to be marked by frequent disagreements, but what happened next – a violent outburst from Artem – left both the WWE star and her family in shock.

According to the source, Nikki never displayed the verbal difficulties she encountered with Artem. Instead, they often treated one another poorly and failed to develop a meaningful friendship.

‘They’ve primarily devoted attention to their child rather than nurturing their relationship, leading to disputes. However, it’s understood that these disagreements have always remained verbal.’

‘Everyone is shocked by the physical altercation, yet they weren’t taken aback that there were problems. To an outside observer, it appeared as if they were dealing with typical relationship challenges.’

Over the past weekend, Nikki was spotted embarking on a JSX journey to Sin City from Oakland’s airport, noticeably absent her wedding ring. Accompanying her were her son and an aide.

According to TMZ, it was reported that Nikki started looking for a lawyer on the very next day following the alleged incident where Artem is said to have been violent towards her.

The article claims that she’s been making phone calls since last Friday, with an apparent goal to terminate her marriage.

Artem and Nikki first met each other back in 2017, as they were teamed together during the 25th season of Dancing with the Stars.

Previously, Artem was involved in prominent romantic connections with several well-known figures, such as dancer Giselle Peacock (age 43) from the years 2004 to 2005. Additionally, he had a relationship with DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba (age 56) that spanned from 2006 to 2008.
