Artem Chigvintsev Makes Subtle Nod to Wife Nikki Garcia After Domestic


Artem Chigvintsev has been making changes to his social media profile in wake of his arrest for domestic violence.

The Dancing With the Stars pro removed and then re-added his wife Nikki Garcia‘s name to his Instagram bio in recent days, according to multiple reports.

As of Sept. 7, it reads, “Father to Matteo, DWTS Pro Dancer, Emmy Nominated Choreographer, DWTS Mirror Ball Winner, SCD Mirror Ball Winner @nikkigarcia,” along with emojis of a bride and a red heart emoji.

The changes were made about a week after Chigvintsev was arrested Aug. 29 in Napa, Calif. on a California Penal Code 273.5(a) charge relating to injuring a spouse or cohabitant, according to booking records viewed by E! News. He has since been released from police custody on a $25,000 bond.

Before he was detained, the pro dancer had called 911 for medical assistance and told the dispatcher that Garcia had thrown shoes at him after they got into an argument, according to a radio dispatch call obtained by TMZ.  The dispatcher also confirmed that there was “a child on scene.”
