Good Morning America Reading Time: 2 minutes
Nikki Garcia is hoping her husband, Artem Chigvintsev, will be paired with Ariana Madix for Season 32 of Dancing With the Stars. Garcia, formerly known as Nikki Bella, thinks Madix would be a great partner for Chigvintsev. Garcia admits, Madix has a “good story to tell.”
Nikki Garcia Wants Artem Chigvintsev to be Partnered With Ariana Madix
Recently, it was announced that Madix, known as part of the reality show Vanderpump Rules, would be competing in the ballroom this season. The reality show star rose to prominence earlier this year when her longtime partner, Tom Sandoval, cheated on her with their friend, Raquel Leviss.
The scandal, which was dubbed the “Scandoval,” was a major storyline on Vanderpump Rules, and it left Madix heartbroken. Garcia believes that Madix’s story would be a powerful one to tell on DWTS.
“You can tell her story so beautifully in a contemporary dance or ballroom dance,” Garcia said. “I think it would be really special.”
Madix has not yet been paired with a partner for DWTS, but she has been spotted out to lunch with Derek Hough. For those who may not know, Hough is a six-time Mirrorball champion, and current DWTS judge.
Of course, no pairings are official yet, and it is still possible that Chigvintsev will not be return for DWTS for Season 32. However, if he does, Garcia’s hopes a Madix-Chigvintsev partnership could become a reality.
Ariana Madix Opened Up About Mental Struggles
In addition to the “Scandoval,” Madix has also opened up about her struggles with anxiety and depression. She has said that she hopes to use her platform on DWTS to raise awareness about these issues.
“I think it’s important to talk about mental health,” Madix said. “It’s something that I’ve struggled with, and I know a lot of people do.”
Madix will most likely be one of the most talked-about contestants of the season, since Scandoval is still pretty fresh. Her story is both inspiring and heartbreaking, and she has the potential to make a real impact on viewers. Whether she is partnered with Chigvintsev or other pros, Madix is sure to be a force to be reckoned with.
While the official full cast announcement is yet to come, fans are buzzing with excitement and speculation. DWTS season 32 is premiering this fall on ABC and Disney+ and will once again air Mondays at 8/7.
