The most recent episode also featured a difficult conversation between Nikki and Artem about his lack of a will.
At her sister’s urging, Nikki wanted to plan ahead for any unfortunate events in the future.
They also had to figure out a parenting plan in case they should break up in the future, as they’re not married yet.
Although Artem thought he would be an ideal parent because he doesn’t travel as much as Nikki does, she pointed out that his work on Dancing With The Stars consumes much of his time during the season.
‘But what if you’re dancing and you’re in season and then you’re on tour? What, is he gonna be dancing on stage with you? … Artem, we definitely have a lot to figure out,’ she said.
