Dancing With The Stars Artem Chigvintsev And Mishta Barton Dating?
According to ET, Artem Chigvintsev and Mishta Barton are dating. This is so cool. If true, I wish them the best.
Mischa Barton might not have gotten very far on this season of Dancing With the Stars, but The O.C. alum got more out of the show than expected.
A source confirms to ET that Barton and her DWTS partner, Artem Chigvintsev, have started dating. The pair were spotted out at The Little Door, a quaint French restaurant in Los Angeles, on Wednesday night.
“They’ve been in touch after the show and care about each other but this is the first proper date,” a source told ET, adding that the pair are “transitioning into more than friends.” “He is the reason she’s looking happier recently. She has become giddy when talking about him and quite smitten with him.”
The source added, “He’s pursued her for a while, and she’s coming around,” calling their outing “an official date.”
After the two shared a meal, they went to Chateau Marmont where the actress introduced the dancer to some of her pals.

ETA: Below is what Just Jared Jr. is reporting….
“Mischa and Artem are NOT dating. The experience of Dancing with the Stars has a tendency to really bond partners and pros,” a rep for Artem tells JJJ exclusively.
They added, “They have remained friends since the show.”
well if dancing together didn’t work so well, i hope enjoying each other’s company outside of the ballroom works better.
kinda hope this is true because they make one good looking pair. if so, i too wish them the best.
Mischa was at the show this week, seated in the first row next to judges table. Saw her over tom’s shoulder. Was she with the guy next to her? I’m not a stalker. Haha! Just happened to notice.
Ditto CC! They are a good looking pair.
Artem might be good for her now – work, discipline together with love and care is exactly what she needs in my opinion wish them luck
I just remembered that he bought a gift, a necklace I think, for his partner for Season 22, whose name I don’t think had been announced yet. I hope they’re happy.
Would love, love if this was true…I think he would be good for her and wow what a good looking couple! 🙂
How nice for them to meet up! I enjoyed seeing Mischa at the show Monday night too! However, I think ET is making this out to be more than what it is. They advertised pictures from the “date” and the only one was of Mischa in a dress standing in a room. If they are together then that’s great, but I’ll believe it when I see actual evidence. 😛
this is a couple I could root for. They look good together.
They would make a cute couple (if it’s true). Maybe the stress of rehearsals gave them a different image on screen, but off screen they are clearly doing fine. Yay!
She seemed like a totally different person on all access Monday night. I liked her a lot more after seeing her on there without the show pressure. And if Artem is bringing some of that put of her than good for both of them.
If it’s true I wish them all the best. Nice to see that they still keep in touch after being voted off despite having a rocky relationship throughout the season.
Well if it’s new I can see his rep denying it. It’s really no ones business. I will admit I hope if it’s true that they are both happy. Did see her snap where before the show he had flowers for her and his comment on the IG pic with his dance with Edyta (Disney nite?) that he missed his Mischa “??”. If true, enjoy, if not, hopefully they are friends because she had a rocky journey.
I hope it’s true. It might keep him in the U.S. for a while longer. I’ve been getting an inkling lately that he’s wanting to go back to Strictly. They do treat him better over there.
