Are ‘DWTS’ Partners Brooks Nader & Gleb Savchenko Dating? The Latest on Those Romance Rumors
Do we have a new Dancing with the Stars romance in our midst, or is it just a showmance? Season 33 is currently underway, and everyone’s talking about Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko. The partners have a sizzling and undeniable chemistry no one can ignore, and they’re definitely hinting at a real-life romance.
From their own words to very cozy behind-the-scenes videos, Swooon is breaking down what we know about Brooks and Gleb’s relationship. DWTS has led to many real-life relationships before, and these two are clearly headed down that path (if they aren’t already).
Are Brooks and Gleb dating?
Although the duo hasn’t confirmed if they’re official, they certainly aren’t shying away from public PDA moments.
Sharing a kiss together during the Week 2 rehearsals of DWTS, rumors have been going wild about the Sports Illustrated model and the dance pro. Many of their TikTok videos are full of PDA. They were also seen kissing backstage while on the DWTS set, according to PEOPLE.
It is worth noting that their close bond is not just tied to their professional partnership. They’ve been spotted enjoying each other’s company at Wally’s in Beverly Hills. After the presumed date night on September 28, they were seen locking lips outside of the establishment.
Using their flirtatious tension to their advantage on the show, Brooks and Gleb have not toned it down since the relationship rumors have been heating up. On October 6, Brooks once again took to TikTok to post a clip of her and Gleb in the midst of a very sensual display during rehearsals. The song she included in her post? Sabrina Carpenter‘s cheeky track “Bed Chem.”

Brooks and Gleb were the first duo to get a 10 on this season of DWTS after their steamy performance. But Gene Simmons had to give it back and settle on a 9 instead. Brooks and Gleb, however, still count it.
What have Brooks and Gleb said about their relationship?
Brooks and Gleb haven’t confirmed or denied their relationship. They’ve remained coy about the whole thing. Brooks told E! News, “We’re just having fun honestly.” Gleb added, “Listen, when you rehearse together for such long hours and days, you create a certain chemistry.”
They’ve both been vocal about how much fun they are having, and they are embracing the palpable chemistry that DWTS viewers are noticing. After spending so many hours of the day together, it makes sense that the twosome has grown closer. But it must be something special if they are still willing to meet up with each other outside of their work hours.
Gleb has admitted to “having a good time” with Brooks. The model told PEOPLE that the whole experience has been “amazing” and that she’s “having the time of my life.”
After a PDA-filled night — including a lot of kissing — at a tattoo shop in LA, Brooks and Gleb have once again addressed their relationship. Things seem to be heating up from fling territory, with Brooks telling New York Post, “We’re just having the best time and really enjoying each other’s company.” Gleb chimed in by revealing that the dynamic between him and Brooks is different than any other pairing he has had on DWTS. “It’s all about the balance, and I actually love it. I’ve never done anything like that when I am working on a season. I am a very strict teacher, and it’s a very hardcore Russian school. But with her, I have a lot of fun,” he said.
Who have they dated in the past?
Gleb and Brooks have both been married before. Gleb was married to fellow professional dancer Elena Samodanova, and they have two kids together. Brooks was previously wed to advertising executive Billy Haire.
This wouldn’t be Brooks’ first public relationship since the end of her marriage. She made waves earlier this year by dating Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark. They made their debut at Olivia Culpo‘s wedding to Christian McCaffrey.
