Maksim Chmerkovskiy, a seasoned pro from Dancing With the Stars, has always been a standout on the ballroom floor. But behind the scenes, did any of that on-screen chemistry ever turn into something more?

During his 17 seasons on the show, Chmerkovskiy admits he only had one romantic relationship with a partner—though he describes it as a short-lived mistake.

Reflecting on His Time on DWTS

Speaking on the Sibling Revelry podcast on February 24, Chmerkovskiy reflected on his time on DWTS, sharing that while many enter the competition single, he rarely let emotions interfere with the job. “I personally had one relationship out of 17 seasons that I did,” he revealed. “It was very short-lived, and it was a mistake all the way in the beginning.”

Though he remained tight-lipped about the partner in question, fans, and internet sleuths quickly began speculating about who it might have been.

Who Was Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s Mystery Romance?...

Relationships are not always so easy, not even when you and your partner are in the same line of business. Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd may be world-renowned dancers who synchronize their steps in the ballroom, but outside the ballroom, things are not so perfect or easy as doing a “and a 1 and a 2” and stuff and stuff.

There was this one time the couple called it quits, and believe me, there was a lot of drama to unpack there before they could resume their fairytale romance.

Nothing’s worse than waking up in the morning to find out that the love you were beginning to dream would last forever is heading towards a swift and unfulfilled end.

Since Dancing with the Stars is one of the longest running and most popular reality shows, there are many fascinating facts about it. For example, it is fascinating to know that some families dominate DWTS, that the judges and hosts disagree sometimes, and about what Lea Thompson said about Artem Chigvintsev. As interesting as it is that Ezra Sosa had a breakout year and some stars hated the show, however, many fans don't know one of the most interesting facts about the show.

Every year, Dancing with the Stars fans wait to see which celebrities will be cast in the show. While that makes sense, Dancing with the Stars would be nothing without the pros. With that in mind, it is fascinating to look at how much the Dancing with the Stars pros get paid.

When Dancing With The Stars celebrated its 500th episode, it brought back iconic dancers for an opening routine to celebrate its almost 20 years on air. Over 31 seasons, 50 professional dancers have partnered with celebrities and helped them win the mirrorball trophy.

There are many reasons pros quit Dancing With The Stars. From leaving for new career opportunities to not enjoying their time on the successful ABC dancing competition. Regardless of their reasoning, pros walking away from DWTS and not returning to the dancefloor is eye-opening considering the show's popularity.

Professionals Who Left Dancing With The Stars Due To Bad Blood

Dancing With The Stars has had its fair share of feuds over the years on air. Although contestants and professionals arguing hit the headlines, numerous pros have quit due to disagreements with the ABC show.

“Dancing with the Stars” premiered in 2005 with a focus on teaching celebrities some fancy footwork. But along the way the professional dancers who teach and partner with those celebrity amateurs became stars in their own right. Many of them returned to the show year after year, and over a dozen have won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy over the course of the series. Scroll down to see every single “DWTS” pro champion, listed by their number of victories.

It’s fitting that the “DWTS” pros have become fan-favorites because they’re not just dancers. They’re also trainers, choreographers and storytellers, and their chemistry with the stars fuels the show’s best routines, so they’re truly the lifeblood of the competition, especially when they bring talent and charisma out of unexpected places, from child stars to race car drivers to one male model, Nyle Dimarco, who won the Mirror...

Dancing With The Stars fans felt incredibly shocked to learn that California authorities arrested Artem Chigvintsev back in August. The horrific news broke just days after he celebrated his second wedding anniversary with Nikki Garcia.

Months later, the pair have now finalized their divorce. Nikki Garcia has largely remained silent on the matter, only breaking her silence to request privacy during the difficult period. However, fans recently noticed she’s completely scrubbed her Instagram profile.

Read on to get the scoop.

Nikki Garcia Wants A Clean Slate On Her Instagram Page

Both Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Garcia agreed a massive spat broke out over breakfast on that fateful day in August. However, their version of events wildly differ, with both pointing the finger at one another. Tempers flared and a 911 call was placed, which ultimately resulted in Artem’s arrest.

For several weeks afterward, Nikki shared the occasional Instagram post.

Just a few weeks before Season 33 of Dancing With the Stars aired, former pro Artem Chigvintsev was arrested on suspicion of corporal injury to a spouse. As the season progressed, so did details of Artem's arrest, including his wife, Nikki Garcia, filing for divorce in September, and both parties filing restraining orders against one another. Artem's domestic violence charges were later dropped, and it was also learned that he was the one to dial 911.

In November, Nikki and Artem settled their divorce outside of court and they both dropped their restraining orders. While fans may never know the truth about what occurred the night of his arrest, there are mixed feelings over whether he could make a return to DWTS.

However, Artem's DWTS pros believe that Artem should get a chance to come back.

Jaleel White shared new details about what caused him to reach a “breaking point” during Dancing With the Stars.

The actor, best known for playing Steve Urkel in the popular sitcom Family Matters, opened up in his new memoir about his experience on ABC.

White was the first actor from the sitcom to compete on the show. His co-star, Reginald VelJohnson, who played Carl Winslow, became the second when he appeared in DWTS Season 33.

VelJohnson became a sentimental fan-favorite, although many knew he would not win the competition against frontrunners, including Chandler Kinney or Joey Graziadei.

White indicated his time on DWTS Season 14 included producers expecting him to act goofy and funny like his TV character Urkel. In addition, he said they were “exploiting” his real-life -pain.

He also got into a heated altercation with his dance partner, Kym Johnson, which he spoke about in his new memoir, Growing Up Urkel.

After his recent appearance supporting the show’s milestone, Artem Chigvintsev is still interested in a spot on Dancing With the Stars.

The DWTS professional dancer attended the 500th episode earlier this week as part of Season 33.

Artem appeared in his castmate Peta Murgatroyd’s Instagram Story content. Her video showed Artem dancing and celebrating at the show taping with other castmates, including Peta’s husband and castmate, Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

His appearance arrived amid a messy divorce and previous legal issues. Artem debuted in Season 19 and participated in 12 seasons so far.

That included last season when he guided The Bachelorette star Charity Lawson to a fourth-place finish.

While he didn’t return to the cast for Season 33, his attorney recently indicated they’re still hoping for a return to the dance show amid his other career.

Artem is still hopeful for a spot in the DWTS cast

Artem’s attorney,...

Will Artem Chigvintsev eventually find his way back to Dancing With The Stars?

That’s a question many of his fans have been asking since his domestic violence arrest back in August. Ultimately, the District Attorney opted not to press charges against Artem. But even so, his explosive divorce from Nikki Garcia hasn’t painted him in the best light.

What does Artem Chigvintsev’s future with DWTS look like?

DWTS Producers Invited Artem Chigvintsev To Attend The 500th Episode

During the 500th episode special on Tuesday, many pro dancers received an invitation to attend the performance. Sharna Burgess even had a guest dance role in the opening number.

Artem Chigvintsev was also spotted in the audience Tuesday night, attending the show with friends Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd. He remains incredibly close with many of the pro dancers involved with the show. So will he be back?

According to TMZ,...

Dancing With the Stars alum Artem Chigvintsev appeared at the show’s milestone episode amid legal troubles and his divorce.

Artem, 42, separated from Nikki Bella Garcia, 40, his former DWTS partner, earlier this year.

DWTS’s 500th episode occurred earlier this week as the Season 33 competition continued.

Another professional dancer, Sharna Burgess, performed in the show’s opening number, which included Season 25’s dancers and former pro dancers, DWTS judge Derek Hough and co-host Julianne Hough.

Meanwhile, Artem wasn’t part of the show but attended to support his colleagues during the taping. He shared former DWTS co-star Peta Murgatroyd’s Instagram Story slide, where she took a video of him dancing with others in the stands at the event.

Over the slide, Peta included a party emoji and a disco ball and tagged Artem, Dancing With the Stars, and her husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s Instagram accounts.

A good pairing on Dancing With The Stars needs to have chemistry, but some dancing pros and their celebrity partners have taken their chemistry to the next level.

In Season 33 of DWTS, dancing pro, Gleb Savchenko, and model, Brooks Nader, gained backlash from fans of the dance competition due to their flirty behavior. Their "showmance" turned viewers off, with people criticizing their over-the-top chemistry as being "cringe-worthy" instead of inspiring. The pair, who loved to share flirty TikTok videos, split about a week after being eliminated from the competition, according to US Weekly.

Unlike Gleb and Brooks, some of the pairings on DWTS had so much steamy chemistry on and off the dance floor that fans are still wondering if they were ever more than dance partners.

Sadly, Peta Murgatroyd was involved...

What's great about a reality TV show like Dancing With the Stars is the various celebrity contestants that choose to bravely showcase their footwork and compete for the coveted mirrorball trophy. For over 30 seasons, viewers have watched celebs of all walks of life dance the Cha-Cha, Foxtrot, and freestyle with their dancing professionals.

Previous seasons have cast controversial contestants and there have also been very memorable ones, too. Season 29 saw NFL athlete Vernon Davis compete with his professional partner Peta Murgatroyd. It was clear that Vernon was better known for his moves on the football field than on the DWTS stage after being eliminated 5th. Still, he was just one of many athletes that have had the courage to join DWTS.

Sadly, Vernon's name came back into the spotlight when his family suffered a terrible tragedy. Vernon's brother, Vontae Davis, who also played professionally, died in April, and the cause of death is still unknown.
