Artem Chigvintsev removes wife Nikki Garcia’s name from his Instagram bio after domestic violence arrest

Artem Chigvintsev might be moving on from his estranged wife Nikki Garcia.

As Garcia reportedly looks for a divorce lawyer, the former “Dancing With the Stars” pro has removed Garcia from his Instagram bio after his recent domestic violence arrest.

His bio, which previously linked to the WWE star’s Instagram page, now reads: “Father to Matteo👦🏼, DWTS Pro Dancer, Emmy Nominated Choreographer, DWTS Mirror Ball Winner🪩🇺🇸, SCD Mirror Ball Winner🪩🇬🇧.”

The move comes shortly after Chigvintsev was arrested for felony corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant in Napa Valley, Calif. on Aug. 29.

He was released on a $25,000 bail later that afternoon.

At the time of the incident, Chigvintsev reportedly called 911 to report a domestic violence incident at his home, but ultimately told first responders not to come after a truck was already dispatched and on the way.

Friends of the couple claimed to TMZ that the relationship has been “volatile,” saying that they were “shock[ed] but not shock[ed]” by Chigvintsev’s arrest news.

The arrest came days after the couple celebrated their second wedding anniversary.

Garcia opened up about their marriage prior to the arrest, admitting on an August episode of the “Nikki & Brie Show” podcast that she was hoping “to communicate” with her husband regarding their relationship on their anniversary.

“When you’re in the steam room together or the sauna or the pool or the waiting area before your massage or after … you just get to sit and chat,” Garcia, 40, said. “Artem and I talked about doing that.”

“It gave us a chance to communicate about our marriage. Where are we at, what are you loving, what are you not loving?” she continued. “We had such a great conversation and made not goals for the next years of marriage but [figuring out] what are some things we can add into our marriage or are looking forward to in our marriage?”

The couple was married in 2022 and are parents to 4-year-old son Matteo.
