They’re just here to dance!
Gleb Savchenko is shutting down rumors that he’s dating his Season 33 “Dancing With the Stars” partner, Brooks Nader, after they shared several flirty videos on social media promoting the new season.
The professional dancer, 40, told TMZ Thursday that although he finds the model, 27, “cool and fun,” he’s not interested in her romantically.
The Russian choreographer added that he’s not focused on dating anyone right now and wants to be single for the time being.
Savchenko and Nader were officially announced as partners for the upcoming season of the dance competition series in early September.
The duo quickly raised eyebrows this week after posting some steamy videos on social media, which the full cast has been taking part in as a way to promote the premiere night episode on Sept. 17.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit darling was seen sitting on Savchenko’s lap as he intimately wrapped his arm around her waist in one TikTok clip shared by Nader on Monday.
Fans flooded the comments section to voice their suspicions of a romance heating up.
“Oh they’re gonna get together,” one person commented on the post.
“We get it, you already slept together 💀,” a second fan joked.
“Are these two single? are we getting a love story?” a netizen wondered, with another trolling, “LMAO the producers knew exactly what they’ were doing.”
They were also seen intimately hugging after a rehearsal in West Hollywood, Calif., over the weekend, further playing up the “showmance” speculation.
As previously reported, Savchenko is single after he and former girlfriend Elena Belle broke up after nearly three years of dating in March.
“Yes, Elena and I broke up about a month ago,” Savchenko exclusively told Page Six in April. “It kind of just happened. People always say life happens and sometimes I think, ‘How did it even happen?’”
The “DWTS” pro said that he and the Swedish model “had an amazing time together” and that he “still very much loves” her to this day.
“She’s an amazing mom, she’s an amazing person and everything. It’s just the timing,” he said of Belle, who has a daughter from her previous marriage to late husband Michael Theanne.
“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,” he added.
Savchenko was previously married to dancer Elena Samodanova from 2006 to 2020, with whom he had a contentious separation after she accused him of cheating.
They share two daughters: Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7.
Meanwhile, Page Six broke the news in May that Nader and her husband, Billy Haire, were heading for divorce after nearly four years of marriage.
Nader and Haire tied the knot in New Orleans in December 2019.
The runway star went on to have a “hot girl summer,” with a source telling us that she was “loving single life” while bopping around in the Hamptons. Page Six has reached out to her reps for comment.
