Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko have officially split following a brief romance that lasted nearly two months.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 28, first sparked dating speculation with her Dancing With The Stars partner, 41, in early September when the pair were spotted cozying up together in NYC.

However, just one week after Nader and Savchenko were eliminated from the hit ABC competition show, Gleb reportedly ‘ended things’ – amid fan claims that it was only a ‘showmance.’

A source informed Us Weekly on Friday that Savchenko ‘ended things, but Brooks is continuing to live her best life.’

One day before the breakup news came to light, Brooks uploaded a video to her TikTok account where she seemingly hinted that the pair had separated.

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.

Nader and Savchenko also sat closely next to each other while grabbing a lowkey lunch the same day.

A few days later, the two shared a hug following rehearsals for Dancing With The Stars.

However, Gleb soon shut down dating rumors and told TMZ in September that his relationship with the supermodel was strictly professional.

Late last month during an Oscars-themed episode of the show, Brooks and Gleb shared a passionate kiss while rehearsing to Dolly Parton’s track titled 9 To 5.

In behind-the-scenes footage, the pro dancer explained to producers, ‘I’m trying to teach the quickstep but it’s hard because she’s distracting.’

In regards to speculation th at both she and Gleb were ‘a couple,’ Nader revealed, ‘That doesn’t make me mad at all.’

Former DWTS pro, Cheryl Burke, told DailyMail.com at the time that Savchenko would eventually ‘get tired’ of the attention.

‘I think that it’s going to get old real fast. Meaning Gleb is just going to get tired of it at some point, and he’s just going to be like, “Great. Now, let’s point your feet. Let’s get to work.”‘

Burke said that while the pair have chemistry, she felt that it would, ‘fade like any relationship does after this honeymoon phase.’

‘At first I thought maybe it was Gleb that was head over heels, but I think it’s the opposite…’

While leaving rehearsal earlier this month, Brooks and Gleb put on an affectionate display while leaving rehearsals.

As they strolled side-by-side, the Russian-born dancer was spotted wrapping his arm around her waist.

The pair seemingly took their rumored romance to the next level when Nader and Savchenko got matching tattoos in L.A. also this month.

An on-looker told DailyMail.com, ‘The pair were quite the show and looked really smitten as Brooks put her arms around his shirtless body.’

While at the tattoo parlor in Hollywood, they were also seen kissing and cozying up together.

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.’

Also on Thursday – one day before the pair’s brief fling was confirmed to have come to an end – Nader enjoyed an outing in L.A. without Savchenko.

She dressed to impress while joining other stars such as Ellie Goulding at Paris Hilton’s Infinite Icon concert event at the Hollywood Palladium.

The model put on a leggy display wearing a sleeveless, black minidress as well as a pair of embellished, open-toed heels and a black hat.
