DWTS Judge Carrie Ann Inaba and Ex Artem Chigvintsev Prove They're Total Friends With This New Selfie

Forget the drama — Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba and former pro dancer Artem Chigvintsev just gave us the wholesome ex content we didn’t know we needed. On Saturday, July 25, Carrie Ann shared a brand new selfie on Instagram, and she’s all smiles alongside Artem, her ex-boyfriend of nearly three years. The photo is a clear signal that any rumors of bad blood between them are officially dead.

For anyone keeping track of DWTS history, Artem joined the show as a pro dancer in 2017, years after he and Carrie Ann split in 2009. That timing led to years of fan speculation that Carrie Ann was either giving him an unfair advantage or being overly critical because of their romantic past. But both have consistently denied any bias, with Artem once telling press that his relationship with Carrie Ann is“so long ago”and Carrie Ann stating,“There’s nothing but love.”

Now, with this public, casual selfie, the pair are putting any lingering gossip to rest. It’s a nice reminder that exes really can move on and stay cool. Whether you’re a longtime DWTS fan or just love a good celebrity friendship story, this one is pure good vibes. Do you think you could stay this friendly with an ex? Let us know in the comments.
