Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko have ended their relationship for the second time, with Nader reportedly accusing the professional dancer of infidelity. The couple's chemistry initially sparked during their partnership on Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars in September 2024.
According to an exclusive source, Nader, 28, terminated the relationship over the weekend after suspecting Savchenko, 41, of cheating. When contacted by reporters, Savchenko's representatives declined to comment on the allegations.
Following the breakup, both parties took to social media with cryptic messages. Nader shared footage of her parents visiting her, captioning it: "Just needed mom & dad." Meanwhile, Savchenko posted a video lip-syncing to an audio clip stating, "To everyone who watches my life and gossips about it, don't give up. Season 2 is about to come out."
The pair were last seen together last Monday in New York City, holding hands while leaving Sartiano's Restaurant. Their public appearance gave no indication of the impending relationship collapse.
"He's so amazing and so special," Nader had told People in February 2025. "I didn't intend—whenever I went on Dancing With the Stars at first—to be in February right now still seeing him, but here we are."
The relationship weathered a previous breakup in October 2024, when Savchenko ended things via text message. "He said, 'Picked up my stuff. I'm going to Joshua Tree tomorrow for a few nights. We should have a conversation but I think I'm done,'" Nader revealed during a November TikTok livestream.
Their romance faced persistent public skepticism, with many DWTS fans accusing the pair of engaging in a "showmance" for publicity. One viewer tweeted after their elimination: "Brooks & Gleb deserved to go home for their mediocrity and failed showmance that no one cared about."
Nader addressed these allegations in a recent interview, stating, "We were spending 6 to 7 hours a day, 7 days a week together rehearsing, so you obviously grow a bond with somebody over that period. And, it's such an intimate thing, ballroom dancing. I'm really bad at faking things."
Both entered the relationship shortly after previous breakups. Nader separated from her husband of four years, Billy Haire, in December 2023, though she revealed in January 2025 that they were "still legally married." Savchenko had ended his three-year relationship with model Elena Belle in April 2024.
Their whirlwind romance included getting matching abdomen tattoos, which Nader later began removing, telling TMZ the ink resulted from a "lapse in judgment."
Despite the drama surrounding their relationship, their connection seemed genuine to those close to them. "It was a little bit of a kismet, serendipity situation that we met when we did," Nader had said, "just both being freshly divorced and the whole thing, it was insane."
As both move forward separately, fans wonder what "Season 2" might bring for the Dancing with the Stars professional and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model.
