It is unclear whether Bella was involved in the incident.

"When someone is charged with felony domestic violence, usually this means there is a visible injury or credible eyewitness," Napa County Sheriff’s public information officer Henry Wofford said in a statement to E! News. "Our deputies felt comfortable arresting him on felony domestic violence charges."

According to Wofford, certain details of the case, including the victim's name, are not being shared due to laws protecting the privacy of victims of domestic violence.

Woffod did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Fox News Digital has learned that there were no plans for Chigvintsev to be part of Season 33 of "Dancing with the Stars," which premieres next month.

The arrest comes two days after the couple celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary.

Chigvintsev posted an Instagram tribute, writing: "Happy anniversary my love, can’t see my life without you. You are my everything."

"This song is our love story," the former WWE star wrote on Instagram, alongside a video montage of their wedding day with the song, "Can't Help Falling In Love," playing in the background. "I’ll never forget where I was when I asked Jesus about Artem. Having a conversation with He & God. How my feelings felt too soon. It all felt too fast. And then this song came on. And that’s when I knew that I was falling in love with him and that it was all meant to be."

The couple share four-year-old son, Matteo.

The news of Chigvintsev's arrest has shocked fans and castmates alike.

"I'm so sorry to hear about this," said Sharna Burgess, a fellow "Dancing with the Stars" pro who is expecting a child with Brian Austin Green. "I'm sending all my love and support to Nikki and her family."

The arrest also comes as a major blow to "Dancing with the Stars," which has been rocked by a number of scandals in recent years.

In 2021, host Tom Bergeron and co-host Erin Andrews were fired from the show after 16 and 5 seasons, respectively.

And in 2020, pro dancer Anna Trebunskaya was sued for allegedly groping her former partner, Chrishell Stause.

It remains to be seen whether Chigvintsev will face any charges in connection with his arrest. However, the incident is sure to have a lasting impact on his career and personal life.
