DWTS pro Artem Chigvintsev removes wife Nikki Garcia from his Instagram profile bio... over a week after he was arrested for domestic violence

Artem Chigvintsev has updated his Instagram bio by removing his wife Nikki Garcia's name, in the wake of his domestic violence arrest.

But due to the sounds of a domestic disturbance in the background, cops from the Napa Sheriff’s Department descended on the couple’s leafy neighborhood anyway, taking Russian-born Chigvintsev with them. The arrest, which reportedly came after Garcia threw shoes at her husband, took place less than four days after the pair celebrated the anniversary of their August 2022 wedding – with both marking the moment on social media. While she has allegedly banned Artem from seeing their four-year-old son Matteo without supervision and is searching for a divorce lawyer, sources have revealed to DailyMail.com that he is in the 'fight of his life' to win her back – especially now that he has been dropped from the upcoming season of DWTS.
