A Cryptic TikTok Revelation
On Thursday, Brooks Nader posted a mysterious TikTok video suggesting that Gleb Savchenko, 41, ended their rumored relationship after being eliminated from Dancing With the Stars earlier this month. The 28-year-old Sports Illustrated model reenacted a breakup scene from the 2014 film Whiplash, captioning it: “When he breaks up with me, and I didn’t even know we were dating.” The video included dialogue about prioritizing personal goals over relationships, leaving viewers puzzled as Nader laughed at the absurdity of the situation.
Fan Reactions to the Shocking News
Dancing With the Stars fans were shocked by Nader’s apparent split, especially since the pair had exchanged flirty comments on social media just 24 hours earlier. “Wait… WHAT?” exclaimed Ezra Sosa, who was paired with Anna Delvey this season. Another user pleaded, “You can’t drop a bomb like this WITHOUT EXPLANATION. Tell us what happened.” Comments poured in from stunned fans, with one declaring, “No, no, no. Lock that man up. Brooks & Gleb forever,” and another urging, “Say sike rn.”
Details of the Breakup
While Nader did not provide additional details, a source told Us Weekly that Savchenko ended things about a week after their elimination on October 15. Though Nader didn’t directly name Savchenko, the duo had previously shown affection throughout the competition, sparking dating rumors as soon as their partnership was announced. They shared flirtatious videos and cozy moments outside of practice, fueling speculation about their relationship status. Initially, Savchenko downplayed the romance, telling Page Six they were focused solely on winning the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. However, their chemistry became undeniable, confirmed by a public kiss weeks later.
The Pair’s Affectionate Moments
The pair even celebrated their connection with matching tattoos on a PDA-filled trip to a tattoo parlor, which Nader called their “little special thing.” Despite their apparent relationship, Nader maintained that she considered herself “single,” emphasizing they weren’t rushing to define their relationship. “Who wouldn’t want to kiss Gleb?” Nader told Extra, clarifying that they were simply a “dance couple” rather than in a serious relationship. Recently divorced from her ex-husband Billy Haire, Nader insisted there was nothing fake about their bond. “I’m a person with great energy, and Gleb has amazing energy,” she explained. “He genuinely wanted me to have a great experience on Dancing With the Stars. He was very focused on that.”
Last Public Appearance
The last time Nader and Savchenko were seen together was on October 16, following their elimination. The sudden twist in their relationship has left fans speculating about what truly went on behind the scenes of Dancing With the Stars. As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen how the two will navigate their personal lives under the spotlight. The dynamic between the two continues to attract attention, keeping fans engaged in their evolving narrative.
