Dancing With the Stars' Brooks Nader Reveals Relationship Status During Debut With Gleb Savchenko
Brooks Nader may be partnered up with Gleb Savchenko on Dancing With the Stars, but her dance card is empty outside of the ballroom.
Almost three months after sparking romance rumors with Greek Prince Constantine Alexios, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model cleared the air about her relationship status during the Sept. 17 premiere of DWTS season 33.
While explaining why she chose to dance to Britney Spears' "Piece of Me," Brooks shared, "I’m newly single, so the lyrics are super liberating."
And for now, dance is her only bae.
"I'm here because me and dance have some unfinished business," Brooks quipped, noting that she was on her high school's dance team before pivoting to modeling. "I have a bone to pick with dancing. I dumped him for a while, but I gotta take back that ex and run their life."
However, the 27-year-old also joked that it doesn't hurt the competition to have a "healthy little flirtatious vibe" with her pro dance partner as well.
As she put it, "He's so hot."
And what does Gleb think of their ballroom chemistry? "We have a lot of fun," he said during the premiere, with Brooks chiming in, "and it's obviously all about dancing."
She added, "That's what we're here to do."
Indeed, Gleb told Page Six on Sept. 13 that there’s no romantic interest between them, though they have “amazing” chemistry on the dance floor.
Brooks was linked to Constantine Alexios—a member of the member of the former Greek royal family—in June, when she brought him as her date to Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey's wedding. Prior to that, the Louisiana native was married to advertising executive Billy Haire from 2019 to 2022.
Meanwhile, Gleb was married to fellow dancer Elena Samodanova for over a decade before she filed for divorce in 2020. The pair share kids Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7.
He was last romantically linked to model Elena Belle, who was his date to Nikki Garcia and Artem Chigvintsev's 2023 wedding.
