6 Score given by guest judge Mandy Moore (choreographer)
So You Think You Can Dance
In 2011, Chigvintsev was a choreographer on the British adaptation of
Other work
In 2009, he appeared in the music video for Hush Hush; Hush Hush by The Pussycat Dolls, dancing with Nicole Scherzinger.
In 2011, Chigvintsev acted the part of lead choreographer in the CBeebies Christmas Pantomime, Cinderella.
Chigvintsev has also appeared in an episode of the TV show
In October 2020, he made a guest appearance in an episode, “Sister, Sister and a Babymoon” of the American reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians to teach Kris Jenner and her boyfriend ballroom dancing. He has also made another guest appearance on another American reality TV show, Paris in Love. In an episode, "Too Close for Carter," in January 2022 to teach Paris Hilton and her former fiancé now husband some dance moves for their wedding reception.
Chigvintsev appeared as a main cast member on the E! reality show, Total Bellas, for the show's fifth and sixth season.
Personal life
Relationships and family
Chigvintsev was married to his dancing partner, Giselle Peacock, from 2004 to 2005. He dated Carrie Ann Inaba from 2006 to 2008.[33]
Chigvintsev and Kara Tointon were paired as partners on Strictly Come Dancing in 2010, which they went on to win. They went on to have a four-year relationship.
Chigvintsev became a naturalized U.S. citizen on September 17, 2014.[1] In November 2019, he got engaged to Total Bellas star, and retired WWE wrestler, Nikki Bella,[34] who was his celebrity partner on the 25th season of Dancing with the Stars. On January 29, 2020, Nikki and Artem announced they were expecting their first child, just a week and a half after Nikki's twin sister, Brie, announced she was expecting her second child.[35] Bella gave birth to their son Matteo Artemovich Chigvintsev on July 31, 2020.[36] The pair got married on August 26, 2022.[37] However, Bella later filed for divorce in September 2024, citing "irreconcilable differences."[38][39] Bella also sought "legal and physical custody" of Matteo, but only requested that Chigvintsev be allowed child visitation.[39] Both were granted restraining orders against each other.
Legal issues and controversies
In 2015, Fern Britton accused Chigvintsev of kicking, shoving and joking about killing her during training sessions they held in 2012 while they were dance partners on Strictly Come Dancing, a claim which he denied.[40][41][42] On August 29, 2024, Chigvintsev was booked into Napa County Jail on a felony domestic violence charge.[43] He would be released later that day after posting a $25,000 bail.[44][45] Police would afterwards publicly release his mugshot.[44] According to arrest records, the incident was subjected to penal code 273.5(a), which relates to domestic violence against either "a spouse, cohabitant or fellow parent."[43] It was later revealed Chigvintsev inflicted "corporal injury to spouse."[45][46] Nikki, Chigvintsev's spouse, would not publicly discuss the incident, with a rep describing it as a "private matter."[47][48] On September 11, 2024, Nikki filed for divorce.[38][49] On September 24, 2024, Napa County District Attorney, Allison Haley, announced that her office has declined to file criminal charges against Artem Chigvintsev.[50] Noting "[T]he decision to not file charges against Mr. Chigvintsev was made after a thorough review of the criminal investigation and careful evaluation of the evidence presented to the DA’s Office."[51] She noted there was not enough evidence to prove that Artem did in fact inflict injury to his then-wife. Nikki sought full custody of the child when she filed for divorce, requesting Artem have supervised visitation with their son and undergo anger management classes. However, after a court hearing in Napa County, it was announced the parents will share joint custody of the Matteo, as Artem had previously requested when he submitted his divorce response in September.[52]
