Nikki Garcia’s Husband Arrested In California

In shocking news, TMZ has reported that Artem Chingvintsev, known for Dancing With The Stars and being the husband of former WWE star Nikki Garcia, has been arrested. According to the report, the Russian dancer was booked into Napa County Jail on Thursday morning following a felony domestic violence charge. As of writing, no more information is available, although according to Garcia’s Instagram Stories, she was also in Napa, California, on Wednesday.

42-year-old Chingvintsev first met Garcia when she was his celebrity partner on the 25th season of Dancing with the Stars in 2017. The pair subsequently began dating the following year after she separated from fellow pro wrestler John Cena. From there, the loved-up couple had a child together, Matteo, and two years later, in 2022, they made their relationship status legally official by getting married.
