Gleb Savchenko recently opened up about his budding romance with his “Dancing with the Stars” partner, Brooks Nader, revealing a humorous exchange with his daughter regarding their viral kiss. During an appearance on the Boyfriend Material podcast hosted by Harry Jowsey on October 15, the professional dancer recounted how his 13-year-old daughter, Olivia, reacted to a TikTok clip of the two kissing backstage.
“[My daughter] sent me that TikTok that went viral when me and Brooks are making out backstage. She was like, ‘Dad, I want all the tea,’” Savchenko said with a laugh, indicating that his daughter is curious about his relationship status. He quipped, “Because there’s a lot of things on TikTok, and she’s just watching that like, ‘No, I want all the tea.’ I was like, ‘Okay, shut up.’”
When Jowsey pressed him on whether he had discussed the relationship with his daughters, Savchenko, who also has a 7-year-old daughter named Zlata, shared his reservations. “Not yet, no, because I tell her, she’s going to tell her mom, and just, yeah, not going to go there,” he said, hinting that there’s more to their relationship than just the kiss.
In addition to discussing his personal life, Savchenko spoke about his time spent journaling and manifesting before the start of the 33rd season of Dancing with the Stars. He noted that he had set intentions to find a property in Joshua Tree and to meet a “perfect” partner—describing Nader as someone who fulfills 99% of his ideal partner checklist.
“I wasn’t planning on meeting anyone,” Savchenko explained, reflecting on his recent breakup with ex-girlfriend Elena Belle. “I was going through a lot, just wanted to be on my own. Never planned anything.”
Savchenko expressed excitement over his partnership with Nader, noting that she was instrumental in their TikTok endeavors. “I have a great partner, we get along very well, and she’s the one who started this whole thing like, ‘Let’s do TikToks!’” he said, praising her natural talent for creating engaging content.
When asked if he was “in love” with Nader, Savchenko playfully deflected but hinted at his feelings, stating, “I don’t know, maybe.” He concluded, “We’re just hanging out, we’re just having a good time. And she’s amazing. I love her, being around her, she’s got such a great energy, great personality, like just obviously super hot.”
