Sources close to Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Garcia are now speaking out in light of the “Dancing With the Stars” pro’s recent domestic violence arrest.
Friends of the couple reportedly said they weren’t completely surprised to see Garcia and Chigvintsev in this week’s news cycle as they were aware the marriage was “volatile” for some time.
Insiders told TMZ it was “shocking but not shocking” to learn the details of the arrest — including how Garcia allegedly threw shoes at her husband during the altercation.
