Professional dancer Gleb Savchenko has been photographed sharing a series of intimate moments with an unidentified woman in Los Angeles, signalling a new romantic chapter for the star. The sighting comes just nine months after his highly-publicised split from former dance partner and model, Brooks Nader.
A Farmer's Market Rendezvous Turns Passionate
The 42-year-old Russian dancer and choreographer was seen enjoying a casual day out with a brunette companion at a Los Angeles farmer's market this past Sunday. The pair were initially spotted holding hands while browsing, but their affection quickly escalated.
The mystery woman, who showcased a petite figure in a stylish all-athleisure outfit comprising a white strappy sports bra, black leggings, a matching shrug, and white sneakers, appeared completely enamoured with Savchenko. For his part, the Strictly Come Dancing alumnus beamed while dressed in a grey hoodie, khaki shorts, a green baseball cap, and black sneakers, carrying a matching tote bag.
The couple's PDA intensified as they wrapped their arms around each other, sharing a passionate kiss. Savchenko was seen tenderly touching the back of the woman's neck during the embrace. In a particularly frisky moment, captured by photographers, the woman playfully grabbed a handful of Savchenko's toned rear-end as they continued their make-out session beside a garbage can.
Navigating Life After a Turbulent 'Showmance'
This new romance follows Savchenko's on-again, off-again rebound relationship with Brooks Nader, which ended in April. Their pairing was fraught with public drama, including Nader's allegation that Savchenko had engaged in "threesomes in Joshua Tree."
Savchenko vehemently denied any wrongdoing at the time, telling E! News, "I'm not a cheater. I'm actually a family guy. I'm a relationship guy. I'm not a f*** boy who goes around and goes on all these dates. I'm not even on dating apps."
However, last month, the 28-year-old Nader offered a strikingly candid recap of their relationship on Watch What Happens Live. She confessed that she and Savchenko had sex "the day they met" in September 2024 to cut through the "sexual tension." She enthusiastically gushed about the experience, stating, "It was great, oh my god! Highly recommend. Don't marry the dancer, but f*** the dancer." When pressed by fellow guest Erika Jayne, Nader affirmed the quality of their intimacy, adding, "Beyond. Are you kidding? Why would I keep f***ing a dancer if it wasn't good?"
Savchenko's Life Beyond the Dance Floor
The six-foot tall dancer, who boasts over one million social media followers, has been openly embracing single life. His social media feeds have featured so-called 'thirst traps' from Miami and TikTok videos surrounded by four women in scantily-clad attire, captioned with "The struggle is real."
Despite his playful online persona, Savchenko remains a dedicated father. He shares two daughters—Olivia, 15, and Zlata, 8—with his ex-wife, fellow Russian dancer Elena Samodanova. Their 14-year marriage was finalised in 2021, and his daughters are based in Hong Kong. Demonstrating an amicable co-parenting relationship, Savchenko publicly congratulated Samodanova last month after she welcomed her third child, Victoria, with colleague Vlad Kvartin.
On the professional front, Savchenko is a seasoned competitor. Out of 13 celebrity partners on Dancing with the Stars, his best results were fourth-place finishes with singer Jana Kramer (season 23), singer Lauren Alaina (season 28), and drag queen Shangela (season 31). He has also successfully pivoted into influencing, securing paid partnerships with brands like Coofandy, VYZN Apparel, Vince, Alastin, KITS, and Nespresso.
As Savchenko steps into this new romantic spotlight, fans and observers will be watching to see if this mystery woman becomes a more permanent fixture in the life of the charismatic dancer-choreographer.
