Gleb Savchenko, the talented professional dancer known for his appearances on Dancing With the Stars, has recently found himself navigating the complexities of single life, a revelation that seems to have caught him off guard.

Despite reports from various sources confirming that he and his partner, Brooks Nader, have ended their relationship, Gleb expressed his surprise at discovering this news through an article, just like the rest of the public. In a statement shared with Us Weekly on April 7, he stated, “I was surprised to learn through an article published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship.” He further explained that the last communication he received from Brooks was a text message on April 6, expressing a desire to talk. Gleb mentioned that he promptly called her but has not received a response since then. This unexpected revelation highlights the often tumultuous nature of relationships in the public eye.

Adding to the surprise of the situation, Gleb, who shares two daughters, Olivia, age 14, and Zlata, age 7, with his former wife, Elena Samodanova, noted that just days before their breakup, he was still involved with Brooks. “The last time I saw Brooks,” he shared, “was when I traveled to New York to support her and film an episode of her reality show on March 31 and April 1.” This statement reveals the intricacies of modern relationships, especially for individuals in the public eye, where personal and professional lives often intertwine in unexpected ways.
