Artem Chigvintsev Updates Fans On His Health After Exiting 'DWTS' Tour

It was sad to hear the news of Artem Chigvintsev’s withdrawal from the “Dancing With The Stars” tour last month due to health issues.

Fans had hoped he would get better soon, but unfortunately, the Russian-American dancer is still not well, and he gave an update on how he was faring via a video on Twitter. 

He didn’t look too sickly in the video, which was a good thing as having pneumonia could significantly affect a patient. But we do hope Artem gets better in time for near future shows.

According to a previous report by The Blast, Chigvintsev revealed in January that he hoped to get back to his healthy self and join his team on the 'DWTS' tour. 

However, in a 42 seconds video the "DWTS" pro shared with his 186,000 followers yesterday, he revealed that he had another x-ray two days ago, which showed positive for pneumonia again.

The SCD winner got the second batch of antibiotics which he showed in the video, and he hoped the drugs would have a better effect in getting pneumonia out of his lungs. 

He concluded the video with his hope for everyone to stay safe and healthy. The dancer also thanked his supporters in the video and in the caption above the video.

Fans took to the comments to pray for better health for the star as they wanted to see him dance again. Several of them admitted that they got tickets specifically to see him perform.

A fan mentioned that she and her spouse didn’t attend a show because Chigvintsev wasn’t there. She further said his health was most important and hoped to see him at another time.

A few of his supporters suggested health remedies he could try out to free his lungs. One wrote, “Feel better, Artem. Mullen teas with honey will help clear infection from your lungs. Hope you get some rest.”

His dance career also once affected his relationship with his fiancée Nikki Bella. Although the couple is doing well now, Bella previously had to manage their family and new house alone.

Last June, The Blast reported that Artem got a special gift from Bella and his son Matteo Chigvintsev on his 39th birthday.

The mom and son pair created a love-filled video for the choreographer who was on a dancing trip. Bella also shared a couple of Instagram photos with Little Matteo and his dad in them.

The photos showed the father bonding with his son in various moments, and there were also lovey-dovey snaps of the former athlete with the dancer. 

The “Total Bellas” icon gushed about her fiancé and commended him for being a great dad in the video. She said, “I love how you love Matteo. It melts me.”

He was the kindest soul she had ever met, and the loving fiancée didn’t leave out his dancing skills in her message. She gushed, “You and your dance moves are one of a kind. I’m lucky you call me yours.”

At the end of the video, Bella wished him a happy birthday and expressed her anticipation of celebrating another year with him.

Bella gained quite the fame as a star wrestler with her skills, and being a mom shows how great she is at everything.

Last October, The Blast shared that she revealed in an interview with US Weekly that she was open to having a second child with her 39-year-old fiancé. 

Bella admitted that that would only happen when she and Artem were ready to take that step. However, the former WWE star hoped to have a child when she turned 40 or before then. 

The retired wrestler makes the most of the time she has with her only son and doesn’t want anything to get in the way of her bonding with baby Matteo. 

She admitted to wanting to have quality moments with Matteo, but having a second child may hinder that. The businesswoman made this conclusion after watching her sister raise two children.
