Dancing with the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko ‘ended things’ with Brooks Nader over text message, one week after their elimination from ABC’s dance competition series.
A source told DailyMail.com exclusively that he made the decision to call off their romance after sensing the model, 27, was starting to distance herself from him.
‘Gleb had gotten very comfortable with Brooks and was spending so much time at her house,’ the insider noted. ‘It had started to concern the people closest to her, including her friends and family. She had really pulled back because of that. He picked up on it and then that’s when he ended things.’
Ultimately, he delivered the news to ‘Brooks via text message.’
‘They were definitely seeing each other, spending time together. They weren’t seriously dating – that’s why she made light of it on TikTok,’ the insider explained.
Despite going their separate ways, the source insisted that Nader is ‘going to be totally fine with reuniting’ with her ex at the DWTS finale.
‘She’s going to be professional as she always is,’ they stated. ‘She’s going to live in Los Angeles for the foreseeable future. She has several projects in the works.’
At the moment, her schedule is packed with ‘a bunch of other big TV and scripted projects’ as well as a number of modeling gigs.
The source raved that ‘being in LA’ has been ‘really good’ for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl, who resides in New York City and was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
‘She’s living her best life. She’s unbothered by the breakup. She’s hanging out with friends and family. She just hung out with her best friend Ellie Goulding,’ the insider said of Nader’s state of mind.
Nader didn’t seem to fazed by the end of their short-lived romance as she cheekily joked that she ‘never knew’ they were dating.
In the 15-second clip, Nader filmed herself sitting outside at table while donning a leather jacket and stylish hat.
She added the text, ‘When he’s breaking up with me but I never knew we were dating,’ over the reel.
In the background of the TikTok video, a Miles Teller voiceover from the movie Whiplash could be heard saying, ‘I don’t think we should be together.’
‘I’ve thought about it a lot, and this is what’s going to happen. I’m going to keep pursuing what I’m pursuing and because of that it’s going to take up more and more of my time and I’m not going to be able to spend as much time with you.’
Throughout the clip, Brooks held a confused expression on her face while sipping on a refreshing cocktail.
Social media users jumped to the comment section to share their thoughts on the pointed video, with one simply penning, ‘wait…WHAT.’
‘Wait you and gleb “broke up”?’ one fan questioned, while another wrote, ‘I HAVE NO ONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS.’
One shared, ‘I called it. I don’t know where but I did,’ while one TikTok user typed, ‘Please say sike rn,’ followed by a crying face emoji.
The pair first sparked up romance speculation with Brooks and her DWTS partner were seen cozying up together during a stroll in NYC.
Last week, Brooks and Gleb were eliminated from Dancing With The Stars – with some savage fans rejoicing amid ‘showmance’ claims.
Social media users took to X to share their thoughts, with one penning, ‘Brooks & Gleb deserved to go home for their mediocrity and failed showmance that no one cared about.’
‘BROOKS AND GLEB GOT ELIMINATED. WE WON. WE REALLY WON,’ another wrote, while one added, ‘yall hated brooks and glebs showmance THAT badly, huh?’
Another fan shared, ‘I’m not sure what Brooks was so shocked about being eliminated. Maybe if you and your partner spent more time actually dancing and stop with the fake showmance maybe just maybe you might learned something.’
Upon their elimination, Gleb told Brooks, ‘I want to thank you for an amazing season, it was so unexpected. I had a blast working with you. You are super talented, and I love you.’
