ABC announced during the premiere Monday night premiere that Chigvintsev had been paired with former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe, the exact person his fiancé Bella wanted him with. “I’m really excited to have the show come back on air, and I’m praying and hoping that Artem is part of the cast again,” Bella told Us Weekly before it was announced he would make a return. “How cool would it be if him and Kaitlyn danced together?”
She further explained why she felt they would make a great match, adding, “Why I think they would make such a good duo is because she has such a similar personality to me. Artem would know how to handle her, but she would bring such amazing life out of Artem, and I think they could create magic on the dance floor.”
The sweet pair just welcomed their baby boy in early August, and the couple has not stopped sharing the sweetest photos with fans. As for Dancing with the Stars, Chigvintsev and Bristowe got off to a solid start and are hoping to go all the way during Season 29 of the popular dance competition. One of the most anticipated performances of the night was Carole Baskin, who not only performed last but came in last place. Although she got off to a rough start, fans feel she may be able to redeem herself during week two — after all, Baskin did admit she has zero dance experience before DWTS.
