Dancing With The Stars fans felt incredibly shocked to learn that California authorities arrested Artem Chigvintsev back in August. The horrific news broke just days after he celebrated his second wedding anniversary with Nikki Garcia.

Months later, the pair have now finalized their divorce. Nikki Garcia has largely remained silent on the matter, only breaking her silence to request privacy during the difficult period. However, fans recently noticed she’s completely scrubbed her Instagram profile.

Read on to get the scoop.

Nikki Garcia Wants A Clean Slate On Her Instagram Page

Both Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Garcia agreed a massive spat broke out over breakfast on that fateful day in August. However, their version of events wildly differ, with both pointing the finger at one another. Tempers flared and a 911 call was placed, which ultimately resulted in Artem’s arrest.

For several weeks afterward, Nikki shared the occasional Instagram post. But now, she opted to remove every single post. The former wrestler had a massive brand presence online, so this is a massive move.

Nikki’s Instagram page still exists, but she’s completely erased the entire profile. No posts exist, including ones featuring her four-year-old son, Matteo.

Fans expected the Total Bellas star to eventually delete posts featuring Artem. But nothing is left, including brand partnerships and posts with her twin sister, Brie.

For the time being, Artem Chigvintsev’s Instagram profile is still intact. At the time of writing, he still even has Nikki Garcia listed as his spouse in his Instagram bio. However, his most recent post is dated August 26, just before his domestic violence arrest.

“Happy anniversary my love, can’t see my life with out you,” the professional dancer captioned the post, attaching photos from their wedding day. “You are my everything ❤️”

He later disabled the comments.

Will Artem Chigvintsev Return To DWTS?

It’s still not immediately clear what happened in Artem and Nikki’s home on that August morning. However, the District Attorney opted not to press charges against Artem. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s innocent of all crimes, but the DA wrote they were unable to find sufficient evidence to keep a case going.

Now, many believe it’s just a matter of time before Artem is back on Dancing With The Stars. He attended the 500th episode celebration, along with his friends Peta Murgatroyd and Maks Chmerkovskiy.
