Gleb Savchenko has heated up the ballroom floor for years — but who has he had chemistry with in real life?
The Dancing With the Stars pro tied the knot with Elena Samodanova in 2006, and the couple went on to welcome daughters Olivia and Zlata in 2010 and 2017, respectively. In November 2020, Samodanova announced via her Instagram Story that the pair had split, which Savchenko later confirmed.
“It is with a heavy heart that I tell you my wife and I are parting ways after 14 years of marriage,” he said in a statement to Us Weekly at the time. “We still intend to coparent our wonderful children together who we love so dearly, and we will strive to continue to be the best parents that we can to them. We ask that you respect our family’s need for privacy and healing during this time.”
Since his divorce with Samodanova, Savchenko has been linked to Cassie Scerbo, Elena Belle and his DWTS season 33 partner, Brooks Nader. Savchenko’s up-and-down relationship with the model came to an end for good in April 2025.

Elena Samodanova
Samodanova and Savchenko, who share two children, finalized their divorce in October 2021.
Cassie Scerbo
Savchenko and Scerbo were first linked in December 2020 when they went on vacation with his DWTS season 29 partner, Chrishell Stause, and her now-ex Keo Motsepe. In February 2021, a source exclusively told Us that the pair’s romance was coming to an end.
“They are taking a break. They haven’t exactly split but are just spending time apart,” the insider said, adding that Savchenko and Scerbo were “still in touch” with each other.
Elena Belle
Us broke the news in August 2021 that Savchenko was dating Belle after meeting her earlier that summer. “Gleb and Elena went on their first vacation together to Miami Beach and stayed at Carillon Miami Wellness Resort,” the insider told Us. “This was the first time they got to spend a lot of time together after meeting on 4th of July.”
Savchenko confirmed to Page Six in April 2024 that he and Belle had parted ways after nearly three years together. “She’s an amazing person and everything. It’s just the timing,” he said. “We had been together for almost three years and I had, like, the best time of my life with her. There’s certain things that just didn’t work out.”
Brooks Nader
Before Nader and Savchenko competed on season 33 of DWTS, the pro dancer exclusively told Us that he found the model “hot.” While the pair appeared on the season, a source exclusively told Us that Nader and Savchenko were dating. They went on to receive matching tattoos.
After the duo were eliminated from the competition series, an insider told Us that Nader and Savchenko pulled the plug on their romance. “Gleb ended things, but Brooks is continuing to live her best life,” the source shared in October 2024.
One month after Nader and Savchenko reunited for the season 33 DWTS finale in November 2024, the Russian dancer confirmed to TMZ that they “are together.” However, in April 2025, Nader and Savchenko broke up for a second time, with a source telling Us that the model ended the relationship. After news broke of their split, Savchenko said in a statement to Us that he was taken aback by Nader’s decision but noted that he wished her “the best moving forward.”
