Before Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars dropped, dance pro Gleb Savchenko was already trying to stop romance rumors. In this case, Gleb claimed that he and his partner, model Brooks Nader, were not romantically involved. He was just focused on dancing. Sure!
However, after sizzling in the ballroom and making flirty TikToks, the duo sure seemed like a couple. Now Gleb is admitting that he ended their romance in a terrible way; via dreaded text message.
Brooks Nader hinted that Gleb Savchenko broke up with her, and he did … over TEXT
While the couple was still competing on DWTS, Brooks denied that they were dating. “We’re a dance couple for now. We’re not in a relationship. I have so many mixed feelings about it,” Brooks previously explained. “I’m newly single, so we’re having a really nice time.” However, the couple was caught kissing backstage.
And reportedly, some of the DWTS cast weren’t thrilled about Brooks and Gleb’s behavior. “They’re hanging out and hooking up, but no one thinks it’s anything serious,” an insider claimed. “It has more to do with seeking fame and keeping their names in the headlines.” Oof.
Sadly, the music stopped for the couple during “Dedication Night.” Shortly afterward, Gleb allegedly broke up with Brooks. Of course, she dropped a humorous TikTok referencing the break-up, writing across the screen, “When he’s breaking up with me but I never knew we were dating.”
DWTS pro Gleb Savchenko confirmed that he ended his fling with Brooks Nader
Well, DWTS pros Ezra Sosa and Rylee Arnold were determined to get the tea about what happened with Gleb and Brooks. The pros noted that in a recent video, it looked like Gleb was in Brooks’ home.
“It’s not the same place,” Gleb explained in a TikTok. “Totally different house. Look, that plant – I’ve never seen that plant before. I have my plant. I’ve had it for a long time.” He added, “I actually brought it from my old place to my new place.” Who knew Gleb had an affection for plants? Moving on.
Then Gleb looked at the camera and gave Brooks a personal shout-out. “Brooks, if you’re watching, I miss you. You know, maybe you can …” he said. But Rylee wasn’t standing for it. “You were the one who texted her, Gleb!” Rylee exclaimed. “You were the one who ended it.” Gleb responded, “I did.”
However, Rylee wasn’t done interrogating Gleb. “So, why did you do that if you miss her?” she asked. “Well, stop recording, I might tell you,” Gleb said. In the end, viewers might have felt that Brooks and Gleb’s connection was more faux-mance than romance, possibly leading to their elimination.
Dancing with the Stars Season 33 returns on Tuesday, November 12 at 8/7c on ABC and Disney+.
