At one point I got arrested…but all good, promise.”Chmerkovskiy describes his arrest briefly: “That was probably the least traumatizing moment in this whole thing as far as Ukraine is concerned, but for me it was just a reality check….a crazy reality check.” He did not provide additional details about the arrest.“I’m going to try to make my way out, start trying to get close to the border,” he says.
Chmerkovskiy is married to fellow DWTS pro Peta Murgatroyd and the couple has a 5-year-old son. They live in Los Angeles.“I’m just trying to stay focused,” Chmerkovskiy says, adding, “I have options.
