See Artem Chigvintsev’s Parents Finally Meet Son Matteo in Person

As Artem and his mother share another tearful embrace, he doesn’t even notice that his dad has managed to calm Matteo down by picking him up. He jokingly remarks in a confessional, “Well, I guess my dad’s a charmer.”

The moment leaves him feeling nostalgic about his own childhood, as he recalls in a confessional, “Me, growing up, we’re going to like a dance competition, my mom would sit in the front row and my dad would sit in the back. But it was different. My dad actually took the initiative to play with Matteo.”

Seeing his father come out of his shell is a “beautiful moment” for the star, as he ends the preview by stating, “Them meeting for the first time, it was definitely a moment that I will remember forever.”

Watch the heartfelt moment in the full clip above.
