Former “Dancing with the Stars” professional Artem Chigvintsev was taken into custody at his home on Tuesday following a call to emergency services. According to sources familiar with the matter, the incident occurred at Chigvintsev’s home in the Los Angeles vicinity around 2:30 pm, where the 40-year-old was visibly agitated upon the arrival of law enforcement and medical personnel.
Details about what specifically prompted the call to paramedics remain vague, but following the initial assessment, Chigvintsev was detained and faced charges that have yet to be disclosed. He was subsequently released on bail later.
Chigvintsev has previously been in the public eye for personal matters; in 2020, he and his ex-fiancée Nikki Bella called off their engagement. The couple has a son, Matteo, born that same year.
This arrest follows shortly after Chigvintsev declared his intention to pause his professional dancing career to prioritize his psychological well-being. He expressed his decision on social media, stating the importance of his mental health and gratitude for the support from his followers during his hiatus.
Attempts to contact Chigvintsev’s representatives for any comments were made, but as of now, no official statements have been issued regarding the incident.
The future remains uncertain for Chigvintsev, but he continues to receive messages of support and positive wishes from his fans as he navigates through these challenging circumstances.
