Brooks Nader’s DWTS Romance: Day One Intimacy to Lawsuit
Model and reality star Brooks Nader recently divulged the tumultuous details of her brief “Dancing With the Stars” romance with professional dancer Gleb Savchenko, revealing a relationship that began with intense chemistry and quickly devolved into chaos. During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” Nader, 28, confessed that intimacy with Savchenko began “day one,” specifically at their initial “meet and greet” rehearsal for DWTS season 33 in 2024. Fresh from a divorce, Nader admitted she sought an immediate connection, telling producers to pair her with “the hottest, douchiest guy,” which she felt Savchenko embodied. She described a strong sexual tension from their first encounter, prompting her to “get that over with” rather than letting it linger.
Nader openly praised the physical aspect of their connection, stating it “was great” and advising, “Don't marry the dancer, but f*** the dancer.” However, she quickly characterized the overall relationship as “a disaster” and “bad.” The on-and-off romance, which reportedly lasted nearly a year before ending in April 2025, was plagued by Nader's suspicions of Savchenko's infidelity. While Savchenko has consistently denied these cheating allegations, asserting he is a “family guy” and “not a cheater,” Nader's claims escalated dramatically.
In a shocking revelation, Nader alleged that Savchenko “sued me” in the aftermath of their breakup. This legal claim adds another layer of acrimony to an already bitter separation. Nader had previously expressed her strong negative feelings about Savchenko on WWHL, labeling him “a completely creepy person” and feeling “f***ed, literally and physically, from the start when I went on that show.” The highly publicized pairing, far from culminating in a Mirrorball Trophy, instead generated significant drama and a very public feud.
Brooks Nader's journey on DWTS showcases the highs and lows of a pop culture romance that captivates fans and the media alike.
