Brooks Nader is kissing and telling all about her romance with ex Gleb Savchenko.
The model and reality star and Savchenko, 42, began “being intimate day one” after being paired up together on Dancing With the Stars, she said during a Thursday, December 18, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
Nader’s confession shocked both host Andy Cohen and fellow guest Erika Jayne, who had several follow-up questions for the Love Thy Nader star.
“Like, rehearsal?” Jayne, 54, asked.
Nader, 28, responded, “The day I met him — the meet and greet.”
Nader said that there was instant chemistry between her and the ballroom dancer, prompting her to get the tension out of the way early.
“I was newly divorced and I told them, ‘Give me the hottest, douchiest guy,’ and they gave me Gleb,” she explained. “I felt as though there was so much sexual tension on the first day we met, that it would just get worse and worse.”
She added, “I just wanted to … let’s see what we’re working with! I was like, ‘Let’s just get that over with.’”
Cohen told Nader, “Obviously, it was good…”
“It was great,” Nader responded. “Dancers know how to … I’ve heard that from a lot of people and it’s true. Highly recommend. Don’t marry the dancer, but f*** the dancer.”
Elsewhere on the show, Nader described her and Savchenko’s brief romance as “bad.”
“It was a disaster,” she told Jayne, who was also paired up with Savchenko on Dancing With the Stars season 24 back in 2017.
Many Dancing With the Stars contestants have such a palpable connection on the dance floor that fans start to speculate whether those bonds extend to real life. “We really do get on and have great chemistry, which made this dance so much easier,” Emma Slater told Us Weekly in September 2022 after DWTS host Alfonso […]
Nader and Savchenko met when they were teamed up on DWTS season 33 in 2024.
“We have a good energy. Like, I think we got good vibes. I mean, it’s nice to be in the room for five hours a day with someone that you get along with,” Savchenko told Us Weekly in September 2024, ahead of the DWTS season 33 premiere. “And also, you know, looking like that. She’s hot.”
Nader and Savchenko dated for nearly a year before splitting up for good in April. At the time, a source told Us that Nader “was the one who ended things.”
Nader accused Savchenko of cheating on her during the August premiere episode of her reality show, Love Thy Nader. (Savchenko previously denied cheating on Nader in April.)
Gleb Savchenko had thoughts about proposing to Brooks Nader during their “hot and heavy” relationship. The Love Thy Nader series premiere on Tuesday, August 26, focused a lot on Brooks’ past romance with the Dancing With the Stars pro. Savchenko, 41, even brought up his future plans with Brooks, 28, during a conversation with her […]
“I’m not a cheater,” Savchenko told E! News. “I’m actually a family guy. I’m a relationship guy. I’m not a f***boy who goes around and goes on all these dates. I’m not even on dating apps.”
In a statement to Page Six, he said of their breakup, “I was surprised to learn through an article published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship. The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6, asking to speak. I called her today in response, but she has not replied.”
During a September appearance on WWHL, Nader hit out at Savchenko, saying, “He is a completely creepy person.”
“I had no chance. I was f***ed, literally and physically, from the start when I went on that show,” Nader said. “I had no chance at having good choreo because he was humping me the whole time.”
