Gleb Savchenko's business with "Dancing With The Stars" might just be unfinished.

Like a Phoenix, the dance star appeared on the show's set, although he tried his best to hide in plain sight, probably discrediting his ex, Brooks Nader's claim that he was sent packing.

Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader spent months denying the romance rumors that began and ended during last season's "DWTS." Now, things are far from amicable between the former partners.

The 41-year-old has hinted he was done with the show after the end of last season, but he appeared to have altered his decision a bit. He seemingly showed up at the studio in full incognito mode, wearing a baseball cap with a reflector visor paired with a black nose mask.

He paired the look with a black shirt and grey sweatpants with off white sneakers and a few silver necklaces. Savchenko held a water bottle on the side and proceeded into the venue.

While he almost achieved success with his alleged disguise, The Daily Mail confirmed that the tattoo behind his right ear gave his identity away. This outing comes after he appeared on TikTok to poke holes in her story about his cheating being the architect of him being fired from "DWTS."

"I don't know where you got your information from. I don't know who your source is, but I will be the first one to tell you that it is incorrect. Your "source" needs a refund ... because that story? 100% fake," Savchenko noted in the clip's caption.

Savchenko and Nader's split did not come without its own fair share of drama, a few weeks after they parted ways in April.

Nader gave a subtle life update on how she was faring after the split and a shade to her ex by uploading an adorable video of her parents bearing hugs and flowers at her home. The model made it known in the post that all she needed to get better was her "mom and dad."

On his part, Savchenko chose a more direct route, as he lip-synced to a TikTok audio warning fans and everyone who gossiped about his personal affairs to get ready for more work as he is about to enter a new era.

The dancers reportedly went their separate ways last October after they were eliminated from the show. Still, they reignited their romance again in November before calling it quits for good this year.

While Savchenko admitted to being terribly busy during his relationship with Nader, he still made time for their romance. As stated by The Blast in April, the dancer described himself as a family-oriented person who is not a fan of casual dating or dating apps.

He explained that while the breakup got to him, he barely had time to process it as he was on a 15-week tour schedule at the time. Savchenko expressed his hurt at the several speculations surrounding his split and revealed that Nader's decision blindsided him.

He noted that he discovered he was now a single man via a news outlet, as their last communication was a text message on April 6 asking them to talk. Savchenko added that he also attempted to contact the model privately, but she did not respond.

A few days ago, the reality star answered a major question on whether somebody is new in his life in a TikTok post last week.

The dancer used a TikTok sound asking if he is single and answering “Yeah.” Parade shared that the TV star added that being single is not lonely as people paint it to be, in his case, “it’s legendary.”

Savchenko’s answer caused an uproar in the comment section with some fans agreeing with him that being single is “all about freedom and growth” and not a day short of a “legendary experience.”

The 41-year-old debuted on the “DWTS” show in 2013 alongside Lisa Vanderpump of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” as dancing partners. The dancer’s rapport with Nader is reportedly not his first rodeo with his dancing partners over a decade in his career.
