Dancing with the Stars Season 34 is officially underway, but pro Gleb Savchenko is still shading his Season 33 partner, Brooks Nader. Regarding his comments, Brooks has had several things to say. In fact, her clapbacks have packed a lot of heat, which Gleb likely loathes.
The sexual chemistry between Gleb and Brooks was off the charts on DWTS. So, it made sense when they announced that they had started dating during filming. But once their relationship turned sour, so did the shade. Now, five months post their breakup, their mud-slinging roasts remain a very present thing in the press.
Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader have a volatile history after partnering up on DWTS
Brooks and Gleb met on DWTS Season 33, which aired in the final months of 2024. At first, they shut down rumors that they were dating, despite their clear-as-day chemistry. But then, their status had changed. They went on to date and break up, only to get back together again, as seen on her latest series, Love Thy Nader.
However, as her cameras captured, their relationship plummeted for the final time around April of this year. In Episode 2, her sisters went through his phone. Within, they reportedly found proof that Gleb had been cheating on Brooks with multiple women. This revelation made Brooks fall to her knees, weeping on the bathroom floor.
Regardless, Gleb maintained his innocence, noting that he was “a family guy” and a “relationship guy.” But what he wasn’t, he stressed, was “a f*ckboy who goes around and goes on all these dates. I’m not even on dating apps,” he claimed.
Grace Ann Nader, one of her sisters, begged to differ. So, she posted a TikTok featuring the former couple, writing, “She doesn’t know it yet. But in 24 hours, she’s going to find out he cheated.”
Still standing firm on his innocence, Gleb responded to this post via the press, saying, “This thing happened that broke my heart. It was really upsetting.”
Gleb threw shade at Brooks after being paired with “zero drama” Hilaria Baldwin
Currently, five months after their split, Gleb is back on DWTS for Season 34. This time, his celebrity partner is the very-taken Hilaria Baldwin. But, this fresh start aside, Gleb remains frustrated with how his relationship with Brooks ended. So, he is now using Hilaria, an innocent party to this mess, to help him launch several passive-aggressive digs at Brooks.
“I’m most looking forward to just enjoying work and dance,” Gleb quipped. “Finally, I have a partner that I can go out there and dance with and really enjoy and not try to figure out the routine of like, ‘Okay, let me just hide all of your minuses and bring out your pluses.’”
As Gleb noted, he and Hilaria “can actually go out there and create something. I can create something that will hopefully be an incredible routine and tell the story through dance. That’s what I’m all about, and that’s what Hilaria brings to the floor.” Then, Gleb made sure to note that this season has blessed him with “Zero drama.”
“Zero drama,” Hilaria echoed. “Only fun, good vibes,” she said. Cue Brooks clocking back into this never-ending smear campaign in 3, 2, 1.
Brooks called Gleb “creepy” and claimed he was “humping” her during DWTS run
Recently appearing on Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked Brooks what her response was to these shady statements. Laughing in a darkish manner, Brooks answered, “I have nothing to say about him.” But right after, she found something to say after all. According to Brooks, Gleb is “a completely creepy person.”
Then, since Gleb threw her under the bus for her “minuses” on DWTS Season 33, Brooks decided to return the favor. In her words, Gleb was the problem, not her. And her reason why was so messy, Andy could only mutter one word in response: “Okay.”
According to Brooks, this Sports Illustrated model “had no chance. I was f*cked, literally and physically, from the start when I went on that show. I had no chance at having good choreo because he was humping me the whole time.” At this time, Gleb has not responded to her digs.
He is likely too busy dancing and practicing with Hilaria to care. In Season 33, he and Brooks placed ninth on DWTS. But so far, on Season 34, he and Hilaria are among the top three duos on the leaderboard.
Dancing with the Stars is available to stream on Disney+.
