Brooks Nader Reveals First-Meeting Romance with ‘DWTS’ Partner Gleb Savchenko
Brooks Nader, the 28-year-old Sports Illustrated model, recently opened up about her brief yet intense romance with Gleb Savchenko, her partner on the reality competition show “Dancing with the Stars.” During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” she shared how their chemistry unfolded almost immediately after they met.
First Meeting and Instant Chemistry
Their relationship began in 2025, shortly after Nader requested to be paired with Savchenko, whom she described as the “hottest, douchiest” male dancer on the show. She revealed that they became intimate on their very first day together, prior to their appearance on “Good Morning America.”
Details of Their Romantic Encounter
- Meeting Date: Day of their introduction during rehearsals.
- Location: Rehearsal for “Dancing with the Stars.”
- Intimacy: Nader stated they began their romantic involvement almost instantly.
Nader expressed that there was an undeniable sexual tension from the moment they met. She felt that their connection intensified quickly, stating, “Let’s just get that over with. We’re not gonna win.” This combination of attraction and urgency led to a passionate encounter, which she later described as “great.”
A Candid Reflection
Despite the intensity of their romance, Nader offered a light-hearted take on dating dancers, concluding with a humorous piece of advice: “Highly recommend. Don’t marry the dancer, but f* the dancer.”
Unfortunately, Nader and Savchenko ended their relationship earlier this year. Their brief romance left a memorable impact, demonstrating how powerful connections can develop in competitive settings.
