Artem Chigvintsev: Divorce Was 'Inevitable'

Artem Chigvintsev recently spoke about his divorce, describing the experience as a period of 'survival mode' where his life drastically altered. He expressed that the separation was 'inevitable' and that he likely would not have left the relationship otherwise.

Chigvintsev explained that his upbringing, which emphasized working through issues and his parents' enduring marriage, influenced his perspective. He also cited his strong desire for their five-year-old son, Matteo, to experience a complete family with both parents present as a significant factor in his previous commitment.

He reflected on how remaining on Dancing with the Stars might have prevented him from fully dedicating himself to fatherhood. However, he indicated he would still consider returning to the show if offered, provided he could balance it with his parental duties.
