Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko is ready to get back into the ballroom with Brooks Nader for the season 33 finale.
“I feel excited. I feel excited to dance,” Savchenko, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly at the 1st Annual Gurus Awards on Sunday, November 10. “I feel excited to do another number. We actually dance. It will be a lot of fun. We’ll have to rehearse.”
While Nader, 28, and Savchenko were eliminated from DWTS in October, the pro gushed to Us that she was one of his best partners ever.
“[Brooks is] right there in the same shelf with Shangela,” Savchenko said at the event held at the SLS Beverly Hills, referencing his season 31 partner. (Nader and Shangela, 42, placed fourth in 2022.)
Savchenko, who was wearing Stile Latino Napoli and styled by Lisa Cera, called Nader “a real person.” He added that she’s “hard working, fun and just dope, really cool.”
During Savchenko’s stint with Nader on DWTS, a source exclusively told Us that the pair were “hooking up.” Days later, Savchenko and Nader got matching tattoos.
When asked whether he planned on showing the ink, Savchenko teased to Us on Sunday, “Maybe, but I’ll have to kill you.” He added that the tattoo has “a lot of meaning,” noting that the fan fascination behind the ink has been “very special.”
After Nader and Savchenko were eliminated from DWTS, Us confirmed that he called it quits. “Gleb ended things, but Brooks is continuing to live her best life,” a source exclusively shared in October.
Nader and Savchenko have continued to poke fun at their romance with several TikToks, which has led fans to believe that their relationship could be back on. When asked whether he wanted to clear up any rumors, Savchenko told Us, “It’s so crazy. I’m so confused. What’s happening? I don’t know.” Savchenko added, “Life is great.”
While hinting that he’s open to dating, Savchenko admitted that the concept is “still hard” to do. He added, “Sometimes if you just let it go and you’re just like whatever, you meet some really cool people,” he told Us. “You meet nice people. You go hang out.”
One way to meet people, according to Savchenko? Being the next Bachelor. “I would do that show,” he said.
While he previously told Us he wanted Emily Ratajkowski to slide into his DMs, Savchenko noted that his wish did not come true — but he got someone else instead.
“Did it happen? Not really,” he said. “I got Brooks. She’s hot. She’s a supermodel so I didn’t really have to check my DMs.”
