When you pair up a literal Sport Illustrated model and a hot professional dancer for a competition where chemistry and sensuality are key… what do you expect to happen?? I’m with the people on this one — there’s no way nothing romantic is going on between Dancing With the Stars partners Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko. After all, they both went into this season single, and they’re only humans. These two have teased us with countless flirty TikToks, including one where Brooks is sitting on Gleb’s lap, and his arms are wrapped around her waist. And last night, they continued to fuel the dating rumors with a pretty wild pre-performance video. So, are Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko actually dating? Let’s unpack the rumors.
Brooks And Gleb Dating Rumors, Explained
The video of Brooks and Gleb ahead of their September 24 performance was just a giant flirt fest. “Gleb tells me having a strong connection is key to this dance, and something tells me that will not be an issue,” the model teased. She also said that people referring to them as a couple doesn’t make her mad at all. Hmmm. Yeah, I’m taking that as a solid hint. Gleb quipped, “I’m trying to teach the quickstep, but it’s hard, because she’s distracting.” And then, we saw footage of Brooks kissing him. You simply cannot tell me this is a strictly platonic or professional relationship after that.
Not to mention, Brooks and Gleb can be seen getting cozy backstage in a viral TikTok. In the video, which has been viewed more than two million times, they’re holding hands, and Brooks gives Gleb a peck on the lips and then a peck on the cheek. “They def hooking up,” the person who shared the video theorized. Journalism.
The dance partners opened up about their relationship during a September 24 interview with E!. “We’re just having fun honestly and you know, just living our life,” Brooks said. Gleb noted that when you’re rehearsing together all the time, you naturally “create a certain chemistry.” Sure, Gleb, but I don’t think all the other partners on the show are kissing backstage or in rehearsals. The dancer claimed, “We’re trying to get into character pretty much, you know.” Ah yes, even when the cameras aren’t on them. That’s dedication!
Although Gleb called getting into character “the main, most important thing,” Brooks chimed in, “We also are fond of each other.” Sooo, this is either a brilliant PR move, or we’ll get an official dating announcement soon.
