Dancing With The Stars pro Gleb Savchenko shuts down Brooks Nader romance rumors after flirty displays
Dancing With The Stars pro Gleb Savchenko reveals that he and his famous dance partner Brooks Nader are nothing more than friends.
The 40-year-old Russian-American dancer, who broke up with his girlfriend of three years, Elena Belle, earlier this year, told TMZ Thursday that his relationship with the 28-year-old model was strictly professional.
Brooks was rumored to be dating retired football legend Tom Brady in July, but she never confirmed the possible relationship.
Fans of Gleb and Brooks might think there’s something going on between the two after they were spotted looking loved-up together in recent days.
Further rumors emerged after Brooks posted a racy video on Instagram earlier this week showing her in the dance studio with Gleb.

He denied rumors of a romance after fans began speculating about his flirtatious appearances with the 28-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model
He sat on a stool with wheels and turned her around, after which she sat on his lap.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model showed off a playful smile as she filmed the video and took a few selfies in the mirror.
However, Gleb told TMZ that he has no romantic interest in Brooks and is not looking for a relationship at this time.
This isn’t a new pattern for the professional dancer. He’s used his good looks on previous seasons of Dancing With The Stars to drum up publicity and fan interest.
Despite his popularity with fans, Gleb hasn’t won the DWTS Mirrorball Trophy since he first appeared on the show with Lisa Vanderpump on season 16 in 2013, so he’s hoping this is his year.
After making his debut in season 16, Gleb appeared as an ensemble member in season 17, but it wasn’t until 2016 that he returned for season 23, in which he was paired with Jana Kramer.
Since then, his celebrity dance partners have included Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne, actress Sasha Pieterse, WNBA star Arike Ogunbowale, comedian Nikki Glaser, singer Lauren Alaina, Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, Spice Girls singer Melanie C, drag queen Shangela and Mira Sorvino.
The closest he had to winning the series was finishing fourth in seasons 23, 28, and 31.
Gleb was previously married to professional dancer Elena Samodanova, with whom he has two daughters, Olivia and Zlata. The couple married in 2006, but Elena announced their separation in November 2020.
They sparked even more fan interest after Brooks recorded a short video on social media earlier this week of herself sitting on Gleb’s lap during a dance rehearsal
