Fans have missed seeing Artem Chigvintsev sway his hips on the dance floor, but thankfully, they won't have to wait much longer to see those impressive moves again.
The professional dancer and new dad, 38, confirmed on Good Morning America that he is officially returning to Dancing With the Stars for its 29th season. He said, "Last season, watching from the sidelines, really made me realize how much I really miss the show, miss performing live. I just can't wait to get back."
Fans have long-anticipated his return after he and fellow dancer, Sharna Burgess, suddenly got cut from the lineup for last year's season. But since then, his fiancée, Nikki Bella, has hinted that Chigvintsev would possibly make a comeback.
"People really missed his presence and he's just an incredible dancer and he's always an incredible partner too. He truly knows how to showcase the celebrity and he's an incredible choreographer," Bella said, noting their previous partnership during season 25. "I'm praying and hoping that he's back this season. Even for him, I just know how much he misses dancing and I know he would love to be back on the show."
