Artem Chigvintsev, known from Dancing With The Stars and his marriage to former WWE star Nikki Bella, has recently been in the news due to his arrest for domestic battery. New information has come out suggesting that their marriage has had a history of tension and conflict.
Early in the morning, Artem Chigvintsev called 911 from his home around 8:30 AM, saying there was a “medical emergency.” Shortly after, he called back to cancel the emergency request.
Even though the request was canceled, things got worse, and by 10 AM, deputies from the Napa County Sheriff’s Office arrived. They saw injuries on the alleged victim, leading to Chigvintsev’s arrest on charges of harming a spouse or cohabitant. He was taken to Napa County Jail, where his bail was set at $25,000. He has since been released, and the victim is working with the police.
TMZ reports that Artem Chigvintsev’s recent arrest for domestic violence didn’t come as a complete surprise to those who know him and Nikki Bella well. People familiar with their relationship say it has always been “volatile.”
Sources close to the couple, including former “Dancing With the Stars” cast and crew members, were not entirely shocked by Artem’s claims that Nikki threw shoes at him during a heated argument. It seems that Artem and Nikki’s marriage had been troubled for a while, and this wasn’t a secret among their close friends.
While Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Bella’s friends were aware of verbal arguments between the couple, they hadn’t heard of any physical fights until this incident. The consistent issue in their marriage reportedly involved control and belittlement.
Currently, Artem is not staying in their Napa Valley home, and Nikki is taking care of their 4-year-old son, Mateo. Nikki Bella’s representative has requested privacy on her behalf during this time, as the situation continues to develop and we will keep you updated on this ongoing story as we learn more.
