Dancing With The Stars professional dancer Artem Chigvintse is exploring a new talent that will take him from the dance floor to the kitchen. Artem's famous fiancé Nikki Bella revealed on her podcast this week that he will be attending culinary school to explore his passion for cooking.
During an episode of The Bellas Podcast, which Nikki co-hosts with her sister Brie, Nikki broke the news that Artem would be attending the Culinary Institute of America soon. She confirmed he would be attending the school's "gorgeous" St. Helena, CA, location, as previously reported on by Us Weekly. And it sounds like Artem will already have plenty of fans waiting for him to share his cooking knowledge once he starts his classes.
"I feel like I'm always pressuring him to have more content on social media because...when Artem posts cooking stuff on his Instagram, it's mindblowing to me. He will get minimum a thousand DMs asking him 'How did you cook it? It looks amazing,'" she explained.
Though she wondered if Artem would be mad at her for spilling the beans on her podcast, Nikki said she was super proud of him for doing the research and deciding to follow his passion.
"I feel like we've all talked about during this pandemic, sometimes doors close, they open," Nikki said. "We have job loss or we just are figuring out what we want to do in life. What are our next steps? Maybe what I was doing I'm not passionate about. This is what COVID and the pandemic has taught me."
And although it seems Artem has yet to publicly comment on the news himself, he does have "Practicing Chef" in his Instagram bio, and he recently posted an Instagram saying he'd be happy to share one of his recipes via Cameo.
