Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko is remaining tight-lipped about the matching tattoo he received with season 33 partner Brooks Nader.
Savchenko, 41, teased his fans in a TikTok posted on Sunday, November 3, by beginning to take off his sweatshirt in a slow motion video. “Tattoo reveal,” he wrote over the clip. Before Savchenko could fully remove his clothing, fellow DWTS pro Ezra Sosa ran over to pull his arms down.
While Savchenko and Nader, 28, were partnered together on the ABC reality dancing competition series, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that they were “hooking up.” Days later, the pair got matching ink.
In an October TikTok, Nader showed her pals lip syncing to the audio, “Girl don’t do it, it’s not worth it.” The clip cut to Nader and Savchenko cozying up together, while she mouthed, “I’m not gonna do it, girl, I was just thinking about it. I’m not gonna do it.” In the final clip, Nader rolled her pants down and showed Savchenko holding a tattoo gun against her pelvis. “I did it,” she mouthed.
Hours after the upload, Nader confirmed to Us that she and Savchenko got matching ink. “I think [choosing the placement] was a joint effort,” she said of the body art. “You know, I wanted it to be some place that not everyone sees, and so that’s what we chose.”
After Nader and Savchenko were eliminated from DWTS in October, the model refused to divulge the details of their tattoos. She subsequently revealed that her and Savchenko’s ink had a “special meaning,” exclusively telling Us in October that it was a “little symbol.”
“No animals. It’s a bit more in the astrology realm, but it’s not my star sign. None of that,” Nader revealed to Us. “It means something in that world. That’s my best hint I can give.”
Less than one week later, Us exclusively confirmed that Savchenko called it quits with Nader. “Gleb ended things, but Brooks is continuing to live her best life,” a source said in October.
Hours later, Nader took to TikTok to poke fun at her ink. In the video, Nader lip-synced lyrics from Frank and Nancy Sinatra’s “Something Stupid” duet, saying, “And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like, ‘I love you.’” Instead of mouthing the three-letter word, Nader replaced the phrase with, “Let’s get matching tattoos!!” and pretended to smack her head.
