Gleb Savchenko seems to be waltzing into a new romance.
A professional dancer from Dancing With the Stars was spotted enjoying a romantic outing with an unidentified woman at a Los Angeles farmers market on January 18th. This came almost a year after his split from former dance partner Brooks Nader.
Gleb and his companion shared kisses during their outing. She wore a black top with a white sports bra, paired with black athletic pants. Gleb, 42, kept it casual in a dark hoodie, light gray shorts, a green baseball cap, and sunglasses.
Gleb’s recent outing signals a new chapter in his personal life following his split from Brooks, 28, in April. The pair first caught attention as romantic interests while competing on season 33 of a popular dance show, and their relationship was known for being on-again, off-again, even ending with a memorable text message breakup.
According to People magazine, Brooks shared during an October 2024 TikTok livestream that he told someone he was leaving for Joshua Tree for a few nights after collecting his belongings. He also said he needed to talk, but felt their relationship was over. He finished by saying he cared deeply for them, thought they were wonderful, would always cherish them, and loved them.
Although they got back together briefly the next month, their relationship didn’t last. Their breakup last year became particularly unpleasant, as Gleb claimed he found out about it through news reports while also being accused of infidelity.
Gleb, who has two daughters – 15-year-old Olivia and 8-year-old Zlata – with his former wife, Elena Samodanova, strongly denied claims of infidelity, stating simply, “I don’t cheat.”
You know, people sometimes seem surprised to hear this, but I really prioritize family and meaningful relationships. I’m definitely not one of those guys who jumps from date to date – that’s just not my style. Honestly, I don’t even bother with dating apps! I’m all about building something real and lasting, and that takes time and genuine connection.
Gleb isn’t the only star from Dancing with the Stars with an interesting romantic history. Read on to discover other notable relationships that blossomed off the dance floor.
