Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko warned the Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro contestants about hooking up with their partners after what happened with “bitter” Brooks Nader.
“Don’t date your partners,” advised Gleb. “Don’t do it. Even if they really want to, don’t do it. Even if it’s gonna cost you a season, don’t do it. Don’t try to make it work.”
Without naming names, Gleb referred is infamous relationship with the model/Love Thy Nader, whom he was partnered with during season 33 in an interview with Us Weekly.
“Don’t do it because it’s like a box of chocolates. You never know which one you’re gonna get. Might be a really bitter one inside, and they’re gonna f*ck up your whole life. You know what I mean?”
Gleb dated Brooks on and off for less than a year, beginning while they were competing together. Brooks told Andy Cohen, “We started being intimate [on] day one … like, the day I met him,” on Watch What Happens Live in 2025.
She continued, “I was newly divorced [from Billy Haire], and I told [ABC] to give me the hottest, douchiest guy, and they gave me Gleb. I felt as though there was so much sexual tension on the first day we met that it would just get worse and worse, and I just wanted to see what we’re working with.”
Gleb told Taylor Frankie Paul’s ex that Brooks had the worst sex of his life on the Unwell Games.
Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro airs on ABC Mondays at 8 pm and is available to stream the next day on Hulu.
