DWTS' Gleb Savchenko shares a message with Artem Chigvintsev amid his divorce

Gleb Savchenko will always keep a spot on the dance floor free for his friend.

The Dancing with the stars Professional sent a sweet message of support to his former co-star Artem Chigvintsev—who did not return for the 33rd season of the reality competition series after 12 seasons—during his ongoing divorce from his estranged wife Nikki Garcia.

“He is part of the family,” said Gleb E! News at the premiere of Dancing with the stars Season 33 on September 17. “He's such a great dancer that people don't even notice. He's got quality. It's not about quantity, it's about quality.”

The 41-year-old stressed that Artem knows “how the show works” and “how to create a beautiful routine,” and continued: “He's just my brother and I send him love and positivity.”

Of course, Gleb, the model’s partner Brooks Nader this season – can pass that message on to Artem himself. After all, the dancer said they've been in touch since Nikki filed for divorce from Artem earlier this month after Artem was arrested on domestic violence charges on August 29.
