One could even read that Garcia had stated when her feelings “felt too fast” the song of Presley had come on, giving her a sign she was falling in love with Artem and also that this relationship was all meant to be.
Garcia had even wished Artem a Happy Anniversary in her social media story. Following her post, even Artem Chigvintsev posted, “Happy anniversary my love, can’t see my life without you. You are my everything.”
