Gleb Savchenko, Brooks Nader Reunite for Dinner Date After Split
Just days after Gleb Savchenko revealed that he and Brooks Nader hadn’t spoken since their October split, the former Dancing With the Stars partners were spotted heading to dinner together in West Hollywood. The duo was photographed arriving at Chateau Marmont on Saturday, November 16.
Brooks, 28, looked gorgeous for the night out wearing a plunging black jumpsuit and white fur coat with her hair pulled back into a sleek ponytail. Gleb, 41, was dressed a bit more casually in an all-black ensemble.
The Sports Illustrated model was Gleb’s partner on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars and they quickly sparked romance rumors with their flirty rehearsal videos. Eyewitnesses also spotted them kissing backstage during one of the live shows. However, Brooks denied they were dating on more than one occasion.
“Who wouldn’t want to make out with Gleb?” she told Extra in September. “I have so many mixed feelings about it. I’m newly single, so we’re having a really nice time.” Still, during one night out, the pair got matching tattoos – although Brooks revealed on November 14 that she was already having hers removed.
It was reported that the dance partners split one week after their October 15 elimination from the competition show. Around that same time, Brooks posted a TikTok video that included the writing, “When he’s breaking up with me, but I never knew we were dating.” The footage featured the model looking confused while Miles Teller’s monologue from the movie Whiplash played in the background.
“I don’t think we should be together,” the voiceover siad. “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.”
However, Gleb stuck to the narrative that they were an item and that he was the one to end things. In a November 4 TikTok video, fellow DWTS pro Ezra Sosa pointed out to Gleb, “You were the one who texted her, Gleb! You were the one who ended it,” and the Russian native replied, “I did.”
He later defended breaking up with Brooks over text. “Sometimes you can be mixed up in a conversation,” he explained to TooFab. “So I always like to write everything down. When I wrote that down, it felt like it was perfect. Because the moment you start a conversation, you might get lost, so it’s better to just write it down.”
He also added, “I really actually do miss her because she’s the vibe. She’s a really cool person. And I had the best time. When you asked me if I had the best time on [this] season, absolutely. This is one of my best seasons. Brooks is super talented and we had a lot of fun. Life happens, and I do miss her a lot.”
The Dancing With the Stars live finale is on November 26 and usually features all of the couples from the season coming together to dance again, which means Gleb and Brooks likely had to reunite for finale rehearsals.
