Brooks Nader revealed that she and Gleb Savchenko became intimate on the very first day they met while participating in the reality competition series Dancing With the Stars. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on December 18, 2024, Nader shared details of their immediate chemistry.
The 28-year-old model and reality star described the moment they connected, stating, “The day I met him — the meet and greet.” She explained that the attraction was palpable, leading her to act on it right away. “I was newly divorced and I told them, ‘Give me the hottest, douchiest guy,’ and they gave me Gleb,” she added. This candid admission caught the attention of both the host and fellow guest Erika Jayne, prompting several follow-up questions.
Details of Their Relationship
Nader expressed that the sexual tension was so intense on their first interaction that she felt it would only escalate if they didn’t address it immediately. “I just wanted to … let’s see what we’re working with! I was like, ‘Let’s just get that over with,’” she remarked.
Reflecting on their time together, Nader said, “It was great. 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.” This playful commentary highlighted the allure she found in Savchenko’s dancing skills.
While Nader’s experience was positive, she later expressed some regrets about their relationship. She referred to it as “a disaster,” which drew interest from Jayne, who had previously partnered with Savchenko on the show in season 24.
In a contrasting statement, Savchenko told Us Weekly in September 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.” He also noted Nader’s attractiveness, saying, “And also, you know, looking like that. She’s hot.”
Breakup and Controversy
Nader and Savchenko’s relationship lasted nearly a year before they officially split in April 2024. Reports indicated that Nader was the one who ended the relationship, prompting discussions about alleged infidelity. Nader accused Savchenko of cheating during the premiere episode of her show, Love Thy Nader, leading to a public denial from him.
“I’m not a cheater,” Savchenko told E! News, emphasizing his commitment to relationships. “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, Savchenko expressed surprise regarding the news of their breakup, indicating he had not received clear communication from Nader. He stated, “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.”
During another appearance on Watch What Happens Live in September, Nader did not hold back her feelings about Savchenko, calling him “a completely creepy person.” She elaborated, saying, “I had no chance. I was f***ed, literally and physically, from the start when I went on that show.”
The revelations from both Nader and Savchenko highlight the complexities of relationships formed in the high-pressure environment of reality television, where personal and professional dynamics often intertwine.
