Dancing With the Stars' Gleb Savchenko Addresses Brooks Nader Dating Rumors

Dance floor chemistry only.

Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko is looking to take home the Mirrorball Trophy and nothing more on season 33 of the dance competition show.

The 40-year-old has been paired with 27-year-old model Brooks Nader, but despite their flirty presence online, the two have a strictly professional relationship. 

E! News has reached out to Gleb for comment and has not heard back.

Gleb has also lip synced to some viral TikTok sounds about making Brooks nervous, while Brooks has done her own lip syncing calling Gleb “the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent.”

The choreographer, who shares kids Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7, with ex-wife Elena Samodanova, was last romantically linked with model Elena Belle, who was his date to Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev’s February 2023 wedding, though they stopped posting photos together in late 2023.

As for Brooks, she was previously married to advertising executive Billy Haire from 2019 to 2022. She has also been rumored to be dating Greek Prince Constantine Alexios after bringing the royal as her date to Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey’s wedding in June, though the two have not been seen together since.

Gleb and Brooks are up against some stiff competition this season on DWTS—cohosted by Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro. The pair will be competing against top stars like Tori Spelling, Bachelorette Jenn Tran, con artist Anna Delvey and more

Though Gleb has denied he's romantic with Brooks, plenty of romances have come out of the show. Read on to see who connected off the dance floor. 

The former Bachelorette and the Jersey Shore star stoked dating rumors during their time competing against one another on season 31, thanks to their flirtations on social media and coy responses when asked about their possible romance.

"You get to know the other celebrities on Dancing with the Stars," Gabby told E! News in December 2022. "So, we formed a friendship right away and I feel like our senses of humor are really similar. I was so tunnel vision during the competition. I was like, 'I'm here to win' and I didn't have room for anything else. So, we live in different states, but we are having fun. We'll see."

Showmance or Real Deal: Forget GTL, this one was DOA. The pair never ended up officially dating and Gabby debuted her romance with comedian and TV writer Robby Hoffman in August 2023. 

Months after placing fifth in the 31st season of the dance show, the couple confirmed their romance on Valentine's Day 2023. "My Valentine," the CODA actor captioned a selfie with the choreographer. "Happy Valentine's Day!"

Britt and Daniel then announced their engagement in December 2023.

Showmance or Real Deal: Real deal.

While she was partnered with Hayes Grier, the two hit it off during season 21's Switch Up week, with Alek calling her "so hot." After her elimination, Emma spilled that she and Alek had yet to go on a date, saying, "We'll see."

Showmance or Real Deal: Given Alek's tendency to blush and avoid answering questions about his feelings for Emma, telling E! News "no comment!" we think this crush was very real. But Emma danced away off the market following Skarlatos' 2015 run, so if it was real, it wasn't that real. 

Which bring us to these two. After dating a little on and off since 2011, the pros got engaged live on the show in October 2016, and were married in March 2018. However, in Aug. 2022, E! News confirmed that after four years of marriage, Slater and Farber were going their separate ways.

Showmance or Real Deal? Despite the outcome, they were still the real deal and have remained close friends and cordial co-stars after their split. 

"It's not a nightmare at all," Emma exclusively told E! News. "We support each other so much that I want the very best for Sasha. We support each other, very, very truly."

Val and Jenna were dating in 2015, before she was promoted to pro dancer. They got engaged in June of 2018 before making it official and walking down the aisle in April of 2019. In July 2022, they announced they were expecting their first baby together. The two welcomed son Rome Valentin in January 2023.

"Life is awesome," Val told E! News in May 2023. Becoming a dad "definitely elevated my joy for life, my joy for my family, and every day I learn something new being a father."

Showmance or Real Deal? Real deal, y'all!

In December 2020, E! News learned the Selling Sunset star was dating the Dancing With the Stars pro after they had competed separately on season 29.

However, after two months of dating, E! News exclusively confirmed they had called it quits. At the time, a source close to the realtor said, "They had a fun time together but in the end, decided it would be best if they part ways. They are still friendly and cordial. It wasn't a messy breakup, just wasn't the right fit or right timing." 

Chrishell has since found love with partner G Flip.

Showmance or Real Deal: We're calling Chrishell and Keo's romance the real deal.

Platonic throughout their seventh-place-finishing 2017 run, the friends found their way back to each other after the WWE hall of famer's split from John Cena. Since their late 2018 coupling, their dance cards have been filled. And with the Total Bellas star learning she was expecting mere weeks after their Paris engagement, the series may have found its first cast member for season 68 in son Matteo Artemovich Chigvintsev!

Sadly, though, the pair are no longer partnering up, Nikki filed for divorce in September 2024, two weeks after the Dancing with the Stars pro was arrested for domestic violence.

Showmance or Real Deal? As real as a rack attack. 

Model Alexis and relatively new pro Alan flirted up a storm throughout season 27, and Ren had admitted on the show that she had a crush on him. At the time, a source even told E! News that they "really enjoy each other's company" and were "seeing where things go."

Showmance or Real Deal? All for the cameras, unfortunately. Multiple outlets reported their split in December 2018, blaming it on long-distance and demanding schedules. 

The professional dancers got engaged on Dec. 5, 2015 after dating since 2012. Maks proposed onstage at the SWAY: A Dance Trilogy event in Miami. Six months after welcoming their son Shai, the lovebirds exchanged vows during a lavish ceremony in July 2017. They then welcomed baby Rio in June 2023 and their third son Milan in July 2024.

Showmance or Real Deal: A match made in DWTS heaven! 

Soon after the Shark Tank star announced he was separating from his wife of 14 years Diane Plese, sources confirmed to E! News that he and Kym Johnson, his pro partner from season 20, were dating and "really happy together."

While Robert and Kym at first played coy about the nature of their relationship, that quickly stopped. They were engaged in February 2016, married by June 2016, and welcomed twins in April 2018. 

Showmance or Real Deal: Very, very, very real.

Partnered in season three, Karina and Mario quickly struck up a romance, which went on for two years, before they called it off for good in 2008. "The relationship wasn't heading in the right direction," Smirnoff's rep said in a statement, after rumors of infidelity on Lopez's part.

Showmance or Real Deal: Real deal.

The professional dancers got engaged in 2009 following just six months of dating, shortly after her split from Mario Lopez. Sadly, they called it off later that same year. But the duo remained friendly, even going on vacations together.

Showmance or Real Deal: Real deal.

Married since 2014, the pros announced the arrival of their daughter Nikita in May 2023.

Daniella shared the happy news by posting a photo and video of Pasha with Nikita to Instagram Stories. She wrote "daddy's girl" alongside the clip and "My Geminis" beside the picture.

Showmance or Real Deal: Real deal, baby!

The partners struck up a romance in season five, but broke up a few months after their shocking exit. Still, Sabrina and Mark remained friendly, with The Cheetah Girls star even returning to the ballroom to cheer for him the following season.

Showmance or Real Deal: Real deal.

After showing off their insane chemistry during the sixth season, the duo dated for nearly a year before announcing their 2009 breakup in the most cordial way ever: matching tweets! "Hi everyone, we wanted you all to know directly from us, that Shannon & I have decided to end our relationship as boyfriend & girlfriend...," Derek tweeted that August. Finished Shannon, "However, we love and care about each other very much and will remain friends and in each others lives."

Derek is now married to his dance partner Hayley Erbert.

Showmance or Real Deal: Real deal.

Though they dodged questions about their reported romance during season 18, a source told E! News that the eventual champs were just friends.

Showmance or Real Deal: This time, 'twas a showmance.

While they never technically dated, it didn't stop him from trying to woo his professional partner during season 10, even buying her gifts like a diamond necklace and a diamond ring, which she eventually gave back. "We had a fling," Cheryl later told Wendy Williams. "A little flirty fling. Like, a little flirt, flirt. That's it."

Showmance or Real Deal: Showmance!

Funnily enough, the duo had gone out on several dates before he even signed up for the show. And while they denied any romance rumors during season 18, that didn't stop them from playing up their chemistry during performances.

Showmance or Real Deal: Total showmance.

One of DWTS' most playful pairings, rumors continued about their relationship for all of season 10, and they weren't doing anything to stop them! Seriously, they staged an almost-kiss on a bed for one of their finale performances. Their banter continued eight cycles later when Erin signed on as the show's co-host.

Erin is now married to former NHL centre Jarret Stoll. They welcomed son Mack in July 2023.

Showmance or Real Deal: We're calling those Erin and Maks rumors a showmance.

While rumors ran rampant that the duo struck up a romance during season 17, the Pretty Little Liars star always denied that he was dating Peta.

Showmance or Real Deal: Showmance!
