Gleb Savchenko says he learned of sudden breakup with Brooks Nader through published news reports.
Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader have ended their romance after just seven months of dating, but according to the Dancing with the Stars pro, he found out the hard way.
On Monday, an insider confirmed to Page Six that the pair had officially called it quits. “They have broken up,” said the source, noting it “happened sometime within the last five days.” A second source pegged the split to sometime last week.
But Savchenko appears to have been completely blindsided by the news. In a statement to Us Weekly, the 40-year-old dancer admitted he was unaware their relationship had ended until he read about it online.
“I was surprised to learn through article(s) published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship,” he said.
He added that the last message he received from the 28-year-old model was a text on April 6, asking to talk. “I called her today in response, but she has not replied,” Gleb explained.
The split brings a sudden end to a relationship that started with a flurry of headlines. Gleb and Brooks confirmed their romance in September 2024 when they were spotted sharing a passionate kiss during a night out in Los Angeles.
The chemistry wasn’t entirely unexpected. The two had met while competing on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars, where sparks reportedly flew behind the scenes.
Since then, the pair were regularly seen attending events together and gushing about each other on social media. Their whirlwind romance had appeared solid—until now.
Insiders have not revealed any reason behind the abrupt end to their relationship. Still, the way it unfolded has raised eyebrows, especially given Gleb’s apparent confusion over the status of their love life.
The dancer has been no stranger to headlines when it comes to his personal life. He was previously married to Elena Samodanova for 14 years before their high-profile divorce in 2020.
Brooks, a prominent model and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit star, has also maintained a high-profile lifestyle, often documenting her glamorous life on Instagram.
Neither party has made a detailed public statement beyond Gleb’s brief remarks to Us Weekly. Brooks has yet to respond to his claim or clarify the nature of their final conversation.
Fans of the couple took to social media to express shock, especially those who had rooted for the pair since their DWTS connection. Many noted the sudden nature of the split and Savchenko’s public confusion as signs of unresolved tension.
As it stands, the relationship that once made headlines for its red-carpet kisses has ended with more silence than closure—at least for now.
