Gleb Savchenko Addresses Split From Brooks Nader
Gleb Savchenko, the celebrated Dancing With the Stars professional, has publicly addressed his separation from Brooks Nader, expressing surprise at the sudden end of their romance. News of the breakup emerged abruptly, catching Savchenko off guard and prompting him to share his perspective on the unfolding events.
Savchenko’s Statement on Relationship Status
“I was surprised to discover through an article published today … that Brooks has concluded our relationship,” the 41-year-old dancer stated to Us Weekly on Monday, April 7. “The most recent communication I received from her was a text on April 6th, requesting a conversation. I responded by calling her today, but she has not yet replied.”
Savchenko further revealed that he last saw Nader, 28, approximately one week prior to the public announcement. He conveyed to Us Weekly that, from his viewpoint, everything seemed amicable between them.
“My last encounter with Brooks was during my trip to New York to support her and participate in filming for her reality series project on March 31st and April 1st,” he recounted. “She expressed sadness at my departure, as I needed to return to DWTS to complete my four-month engagement at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.”
Nader’s Reality Show and Savchenko’s Reaction
Savchenko referenced Nader’s forthcoming reality show featuring her sisters Mary Holland Nader, Grace Ann Nader, and Sarah Jane Nader. Us Weekly previously confirmed the commencement of filming for this series earlier in the month.
While acknowledging he is “still processing everything” and lacks “all the answers,” Savchenko expressed well wishes for Brooks as she moves forward.
Us Weekly verified on Monday the conclusion of Brooks and Savchenko’s renewed relationship, which began in December 2024. An insider indicated to Us Weekly that Brooks initiated the breakup.
Initial Spark and Rekindled Romance
Brooks and Savchenko’s connection initially formed during their partnership on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars last year.
“We share a positive dynamic. I believe we have compatible energies. It’s certainly pleasant to spend five hours daily with someone you connect with,” Savchenko exclusively commented to Us Weekly in September 2024 about working with the model. “And she is undeniably attractive.”
Their on-screen rapport fueled speculation of a romance during the competition, characterized by flirtatious exchanges and matching tattoos. Us Weekly later confirmed that Brooks and Savchenko were romantically involved.
From Showmance to Breakup
Following their elimination from Dancing With the Stars, Brooks and Savchenko’s connection cooled. However, it reignited when they reunited for the season 33 finale in December 2024. Savchenko subsequently affirmed to TMZ that he and Brooks were in a relationship, dismissing suggestions that it was merely a fabricated “showmance.”
“It is undeniably genuine. Everything is authentic,” he asserted to the media outlet. “We are not feigning. We are not engaging in games.”
After reconciling, Brooks and Savchenko spent the recent holiday season together with his daughters Olivia, 14, and Zlata, 8, from his previous marriage to Elena Samodanova.
“I require nothing further,” Savchenko posted on Instagram in December 2024, accompanied by a series of images showcasing his family and Brooks enjoying time together.
