Dancing With the Stars pro-dancer, Gleb Savchenko, *low-key* threw shade at his celebrity partner from last year, Brooks Nader, who recently dropped a new reality show on Freeform and Hulu called Love Thy Nader (which we can’t recommend enough!)
Partnered with Hilaria Baldwin for season 34, Gleb told PEOPLE what he’s looking forward to this year.
Low-key shade:
Cryptically, Gleb said, “I’m most looking forward to just enjoying work and dance.”
If you watched Love Thy Nader, you know that the DWTS pro is no stranger to getting ahead of stories with the press. For those of you new to this sitch, Gleb is sooooo hot, but sneaky AF. (I clocked Gleb in real time when he was trashing Brooks in the media as she remained mum … for the most part.)
Dripping with shade, Gleb continued, “Finally, I have a partner that I can go out there and dance [with] and really enjoy and not try to figure out the routine of like, ‘Okay, let me just hide all of your minuses and bring out the pluses.’”
“We can actually go out there and create something,” added the pro dancer. “I can create something that will hopefully be an incredible routine and tell the story through dance. That’s what I’m all about. That’s what Hilaria brings to the floor.”
Gleb praised Hilaria for her commitment to the gig. She’s “all about the craft and the performance and hard work. We have the same goal, same vision,” he boasted.
This season, Gleb’s mission is to make it to the finale so he can choreograph a freestyle. (Shout out to Gleb/ ✨Natasha✨ for their iconic freestyle with Shangela.) Gleb’s biggest priority is for him and Hilaria to “have fun and just enjoy the process” with “Zero drama.”
Hilaria, actor Alec Baldwin’s wife, agreed. “No drama. Zero drama. Only fun, good vibes.”
ICYMI:
Everyone who watched season 33 of DWTS could see the instant attraction and chemistry between Gleb and Brooks.
The pair took their spark from the dance floor to their personal lives shortly after rehearsals started. But, the stunning couple broke up in April when the model found evidence that Gleb of had a threesome in Joshua Tree when they were dating.
The DWTS pro denied Brooks’ allegations. Gleb assured E! News that he was loyal to the model. “I’m not a cheater.”
“I’m actually a family guy, I’m a relationship guy.” Gleb added, “I’m not a f*ck boy who goes around and goes on all these dates. I’m not even on dating apps.”
Gleb called the split “really upsetting” and something “that broke my heart.”
