DWTS Insiders Say Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader Are ‘Hooking Up’

Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars is heating up. And allegedly so are model Brooks Nader and her dance partner, Gleb Savchenko. Of course, Gleb is no stranger to rumors that he has romanced some of his dance partners. There is no denying that this duo has sizzling chemistry. So, are fans watching a real romance blossoming, or a strategic DWTS showmance?

Sources claim that Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko aren’t officially dating

Before DWTS even premiered, Gleb started shutting down rumors of a romance with Brooks. Interesting. However, their connection is undeniable. Even the Quickstep, which they danced during Oscars Night, sent sparks flying.

Reportedly, Brooks and Gleb were showing some major PDA backstage in the press tent and at the make-up station. Gleb held her around the waist from behind, and the duo allegedly kissed a few times and held hands. They also called each other “Babe” all evening.

An insider told US Weekly that the dance partners are “hooking up.” The insider continued, “It’s casual for now, and they’re both just having fun.” Speculation about their relationship has ignited because of the flirty TikToks that the couple has filmed. Plus, a TikTok of the couple kissing backstage was posted by Ashleydiary3. The clip quickly made the internet rounds.

“Brooks and Gleb have been very flirtatious from the beginning of rehearsals. They aren’t dating,” the source stated, “but they’re enjoying spending time together and getting to know each other.” Gleb was married to professional dancer Elena Samodanova. The couple, who share two daughters, divorced in 2020. Meanwhile, Brooks and her husband, Billy Haire, announced their split in May 2024.

Many couples who met in the ballroom have had flings. And sometimes, actual long-term relationships and marriages bloomed. Are Brooks and Gleb the next duo to fall in love? We will have to wait and see!

Dancing with the Stars Season 33 will return with two episodes on Monday, October 7, and Tuesday, October 8 at 8/7c on ABC and Disney+.
