Cheryl Burke is in "complete shock" after Artem Chigvintsev was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence

Speaking on her podcast, 'Sex, Lies and Spray Tans', Cheryl said: "I hesitate to smile right now because of the current news...which I am in complete shock about.

"We used to live together in my family's home in the Bay Area. It's so shocking. I get kind of emotional. My heart goes out to everyone involved.

"It's just really hard for me because he was - he's my family. I don't know what to say here other than I hope everybody's okay."

Artem, 42, was booked on a felony domestic violence charge, penal code 273.5(a), which makes it "illegal to injure a spouse, cohabitant or fellow parent in an act of domestic violence", and states an apparent injury must be visible.

Officials have not disclosed any further information about Artem's arrest or the alleged victim.

Henry Wofford, Napa County Sherrif's Office's public information officer, told Variety: "We will always protect our victims. We understand why people want to know the name. But we're treating it just like every other domestic violence case."

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Nikki and Artem celebrated their second wedding anniversary.

The 'Total Bellas' star shared a video of clips from their five-year relationship, alongside the lyrics to Elvis Presley's 'Can't Help Falling in Love' in the caption.

She also wrote: "This song is our love story. 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.

"Happy Anniversary @theartemc I love you!(sic)"

And Artem posted: "Happy anniversary my love, can't see my life with out you. You are my everything [heart emoji]"
