Artem Chigvintsev is still in step with his Dancing With the Stars family.
Amid his ongoing divorce from ex Nikki Garcia (previously known as Nikki Bella), the professional dancer stepped out for the show’s 500th episode alongside former colleague Peta Murgatroyd, as seen in the latter’s Nov. 12 Instagram Story.
In the video, Chigvintsev appears with Murgatroyd and her husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy as they take in the action on the ballroom dance floor from the audience's perspective.
Chigvintsev—who was not renewed as a pro for Dancing With the Stars’ 33rd season—flashes a smile and double peace signs for his briefly-captured moment.
The 42-year-old’s public outing comes just three months after he was arrested in Napa, Calif., Aug. 29 on a domestic violence charge, and was promptly released on a $25,000 bail later that same day. The charges were later dropped.
Two weeks later, Garcia—who shares 4-year-old son Matteo with Chigvintsev—filed for divorce from after two years of marriage.
And while Chigvintsev has largely remained silent on the matter, in an Oct. 31 court filing detailed the financial strain he has faced amid his legal matters.
“After the mugshot and the arrest based on her false allegations,” he alleged in the documents, obtained by The Daily Mail Nov. 6, “I was taken off the website faculty list resulting in loss of over $100k in income.”
Chigvintsev, who in previous court filings has alleged the former WWE star was the aggressor, continued to further state that Garcia has made false claims against him.
“I also lost the social media promotion revenue,” he added elsewhere in the filing made to Napa Superior Court. “which she continues to benefit from as she was more worried about her career when she lied to the police, than mine.”
Garcia, meanwhile, has maintained privacy amid the former couple’s divorce—although her rep told TMZ she had dropped the domestic violence charges because she did not want to see Chigvintsev “go to jail.”
“This is a private matter,” Garcia’s rep told E! News previously concerning her ongoing divorce, “and Nikki asks for privacy for her and her family at this time.”
