Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko End Relationship Again
Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko have ended their romantic involvement for a second time, Us Weekly can confirm. Sources indicate that Nader, 28, was “the one who concluded their relationship.” Representatives for both Nader and Savchenko have been contacted for comment. The news follows their initial connection during season 33 of Dancing With the Stars, where their on-screen chemistry sparked dating speculation and rumors of a budding romance.
Origins of the Romance
Nader and Savchenko, 41, initially crossed paths as partners on Dancing With the Stars season 33 last year. Their time on the competitive show ignited rumors of a romance due to their evident connection and playful interactions during dance practices and performances.
Brief Breakup and Rekindled Flames
In September 2024, Savchenko openly expressed to Us Weekly about their rapport: “We have a good energy. Like, I think we got good vibes. I mean, it’s nice to be in the room for five hours a day with someone that you get along with,” he stated, further adding, “And also, you know, looking like that. She’s hot.”
Us Weekly confirmed the pair were romantically involved during the season and even obtained matching tattoos. However, their connection reportedly diminished after their elimination from DWTS. Insiders revealed that “Gleb ended things, but Brooks is continuing to live her best life.”
The pair subsequently reunited in December 2024 for the DWTS finale, reigniting their relationship. Following the finale, Savchenko affirmed to TMZ their renewed status, dismissing any notion that their connection was a mere “showmance.”
“Of course it’s real. Everything is real,” he told the outlet. “We’re not playing. We’re not playing games.”
Family Integration and Future Considerations
After reconciling, Nader and Savchenko were frequently seen spending time together. Thanksgiving in November 2024 saw Nader introducing Savchenko to her family.
“He will always have a seat at our table. My family loves him, and he’s just a great guy, and he’s so great with all the girls and the family,” Nader shared with Us Weekly in December. She added, “We were all on Dancing With the Stars because it’s always a family affair. And he made everyone feel really welcome, including myself. He made me feel really comfortable dancing and doing things that I was maybe uncomfortable with. So he’s great.”
Holiday Season Together
Nader also joined Savchenko and his family for the Christmas holidays. She even collaborated with Savchenko’s daughter Olivia, 14, on TikTok videos. Savchenko also has daughter Zlata, 8, with former spouse Elena Samodanov.
Hinting at Expansion
“I don’t need anything else,” Savchenko posted on Instagram alongside images of his family and Nader enjoying time together.
The following month, Savchenko playfully alluded to the possibility of expanding his family with Nader on social media.
“I think I’m ready for a 3rd one,” he wrote on his Instagram Story, tagging Nader and including a video featuring Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov’s daughter, Nikita.
