Gleb Savchenko Declares His Love For Brooks Nader Following 'DWTS' Elimination

After Gleb Savchenko expressed his affection for his "Dancing With the Stars" partner Brooks Nader, he has taken things a step further by revealing even more profound feelings for her.

At the conclusion of the ABC show's Tuesday, October 15, Dedication Night episode, which marked the end of Gleb and Brooks' journey in the ballroom, the 28-year-old swimsuit model expressed her gratitude to Gleb's for his guidance throughout Season 33. Gleb returned the sentiments with a revelation of his own.

Gleb Savchenko's latest comments now have fans buzzing about the potential romance blossoming with Brooks Nader.

The emotional episode featured the remaining nine couples honoring influential figures in their lives with heartfelt performances. Former "DWTS" pro Mark Ballas joined the judges' panel as a special guest, sitting alongside Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli.

Despite the beautiful tributes and dances, Brooks and Gleb faced elimination, concluding their time on the show.

“It’s been amazing and we had so much fun,” the model told the show’s cohosts, Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, after it was announced she would be leaving the ballroom.

Gleb then turned to Nader and confessed his love for her. “I want to thank you for an amazing season, it was so unexpected. I had a blast working with you," he said. "You are super talented and I love you.”

Last month, a source revealed to Us Weekly that the model and pro dancer were “hooking up.”

“It’s casual for now, and they’re both just having fun,” the insider said at the time. “Brooks and Gleb have been very flirtatious from the beginning of rehearsals. They aren’t dating, but they’re enjoying spending time together and getting to know each other.”

Despite the insider's claims, Nader stressed, "I really want people to take me seriously as a dancer because I'm actually working really hard to learn the routines. So, I want people to focus on that too."

“It was an instant connection and chemistry,” she said of her relationship with Gleb. “We don’t get to pick our partners, so we have no idea until we meet them that first day who it is. It was definitely a sign from some universe that I got paired with Gleb.”

The duo's elimination occurred during "Dedication Night," where Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko showcased a lively salsa performance to "Mi Gente" by J Balvin and Willy William. The routine was dedicated to Nader's three younger sisters, adding an emotional touch to their final appearance on the show.

"Growing up, we really just had each other to entertain one another and it was the best childhood I could have ever imagined," Brooks said in a pre-recorded video that showed ahead of their performance.

She later added that her sisters "rallied" for her during her divorce this year and called them her "ride or dies." Brooks was married to advertising executive Billy Haire from 2019 until their separation in 2022.

The salsa performance earned Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko a score of 32 out of a possible 40 points, placing them tied for fourth on the leaderboard with four other couples. Unfortunately, despite their solid score, it ultimately wasn't enough to secure their place in the competition, leading to their elimination.

Last week, the two were spotted having a PDA-filled outing in Los Angeles by getting matching tattoos at Hollywood's Nautilus Tattoo. Photos obtained by TMZ from their trip to the tattoo parlor show Brooks Nader, dressed in a white tank top, jeans, and sunglasses, lying on the table as the tattoo artist worked on her right hip.

Meanwhile, Gleb Savchenko, sporting a black sweater and gray jeans, leaned over to shower her with kisses on her lips and neck, showcasing their affection for one another.

Following the viral video of Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko sharing a kiss backstage, the model discussed the moment during an interview with Extra's Terri Seymour at "Goldie’s Love-In Gala." Nader candidly shared her thoughts on the affectionate display.

“Who wouldn’t want to make out with Gleb?" the model quipped, but later clarified, "We’re a dance couple for now. We’re not in a relationship.”

Now that they are eliminated, fans are anticipating them to hard launch their relationship.

Dancing With the Stars airs simultaneously on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET, with episodes streaming on Disney+ the next day.
