All good showmances usually come to an end. Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader, who were paired together on Dancing with the Stars, have split, Us Weekly reports. The news of their breakup comes less than two weeks after their surprising elimination.
“Gleb ended things, but Brooks is continuing to live her best life,” a source told the outlet. The couple broke up around a week after they were voted off the show.
Fans became concerned about the relationship after Nader posted a TikTok video that she captioned, “When he’s breaking up with me but I never knew we were dating.”

Savchenko and Nader got hot and heavy fast as they prepared for their ballroom dances week to week. Romance rumors started flying almost immediately after fans noticed their sizzling chemistry and constant flirting.
They shared a kiss during the second week of rehearsals and were spotted kissing backstage on the DWTS set. Savchenko and the Sports Illustrated model also took a PDA-filled trip to a tattoo studio in Los Angeles.
Right after they were eliminated during the October 15 episode, the pro dancer didn’t hold back about his feelings for Nader. “I want to thank you for an amazing season. It was so unexpected. I had a blast working with you. You are super talented, and I love you,” he said to the model in front of the audience and viewers nationwide.
Savchenko has been a pro on DWTS for over 10 seasons and gushed that his partnership with Nader was unlike any he’d experienced before on the show. “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 told New York Post.
Given how quickly they split, DWTS fans are going to wonder just how real their romance was to begin with.
