Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko was the one to end his whirlwind romance with show partner Brooks Nader, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.
“Gleb got way too comfortable, especially in the amount of time he was spending at Brooks’ home to a point it had begun to concern Brooks’ people and family close to her,” the source tells Us. “Gleb sensed Brooks pulling back because of this.”
According to the insider, Savchenko, 41, wanted to “get ahead of the situation” and decided to initiate a breakup. He ended things “via a text,” the source notes.
Nader, 27, and Savchenko were paired together for season 33, quickly raising eyebrows for their chemistry and flirty banter. They were even seen packing on the PDA backstage at DWTS tapings.
“It was an instant connection and chemistry,” Nader exclusively told Us after the October 9 live show. “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.”
Ahead of the October 9 broadcast, Nader and Savchenko even got matching tattoos. The model later teased to Us that the ink was astrology-related.
“It has a special meaning,” Nader told Us on October 19 of her pelvis tattoo. “It’s a little symbol, and it means something special. No animals. It’s a bit more in the astrology realm, but it’s not my star sign. None of that. It means something in that world. That’s my best hint I can give.”

One week later, Us exclusively confirmed that Savchenko pulled the plug on their showmance with a second source revealing that Nader “is continuing to live her best life.”
While neither Nader nor Savchenko have publicly addressed the breakup, she has shared cryptic social media messages presumably about the situation.
Supermodel Brooks Nader won’t confirm or deny what she and Dancing With the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko got as matching tattoos, but she says their choice does have a “special” significance. “I’m not going to say what the tattoo is of, but it has a special meaning,” Nader, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly at Clarins’ […]
“When he’s breaking up with me but I never knew we were dating,” Nader captioned a Thursday, October 24, TikTok video.
In the video, Nader mouthed along to one of Miles Teller’s scenes from the movie Whiplash.
“I don’t think we should be together,” Teller’s voice stated. “I’ve thought about it a lot, and this is what’s going to happen. I’m going to keep pursuing what I’m pursuing and because of that it’s going to take up more and more of my time and I’m not going to be able to spend as much time with you.”
Savchenko, for his part, recently uploaded a social media video of himself singing Drake’s “God’s Plan.”
